Do you still believe in meeting
the one, one day?
Dating in 2025 is a challenge. The apps are frustrating, shallow, and designed for addiction - not connection. If you do meet up with someone, the experience often feels artificial & forced, and you quickly realize that vibing with someone over text does not guarantee the same in person.
It's no surprise, then, that online dating has lost its pop. People seek to fall in love off the screen again. In these fast-paced and turbulent times, however, that turns out harder than it should and used to be. Dating at work or uni can be complicated because people come and go, everyone’s stressed 24/7, and a lot is happening remotely.
To reignite some much-needed romantic sparks in Frankfurt, Mainz, Darmstadt, Zürich, and beyond, we created One In A Million: a brand-new initiative that designs off-screen experiences for people looking to form genuine romantic connections.
While most social gatherings are just a large group of people in a bar with loud music, which ends up feeling just as awkward and superficial as the apps, One In A Million events are different and better. Through curated guest lists, pre-event questionnaires, and exciting experiences, we create a safe space to meet people on your vibe.
Our events are as diverse and unique as the people that attend them. Think dinner parties where we invite your perfect match, ice bath experiences, climbing with your crush on a high rope course, pitch your friend evenings, and more.
Can we guarantee that you will meet the Jay-Z to your Beyoncé, the Cameron to your Mitchell, or the Ginny to your Harry during our events? Of course not. But what we do promise are one-of-a-kind opportunities to leave your comfort zone and make new memories with amazing people. As well as a small, ever so slightly shot at finding your one in a million.

Project Lead & Event Host
A marketing, communications, and events expert, based in Frankfurt, with an international background, I have a variety of experience in organising events and bringing people together for organisations such as ETH Zürich & Erasmus Student Network. I am excited to kickstart the One In A Million project and promote some much needed love in this current societal climate of division and loneliness, that is fuelled by technology, social media, and the erosion of community spaces.
