So, you’ve been swiping away on the apps, but haven’t been able to make the connections you want.
It might be time to put your phone down and try connecting with someone IRL.
In time for Valentine’s, here are some experiences in Klang Valley for singles looking to mingle. Who knows, you might just find that spark you’ve been looking for.
1. Dateworks’ It’s A Date: Singles in the Mall
Founded by Joanne Ng, Dateworks has been active since 2017. Self-described as an elite dating agency, the platform provides custom matchmaking services, as well as hosts events such as its upcoming “It’s A Date: Singles in the Mall.”
The event promises “delicious food,” because how can you find love on an empty belly?
To break the ice, there will be activities that are powered by notable businesses such as Parkson, Village Grocer, Game On, and Mokky’s Pizza. There’ll also be speed dating rotations for participants to meet other singles in a no-pressure, fun environment.
If you’re worried about leaving empty-handed, the event also promises some prizes.

The event will involve a Deep Dialogue Workshop where there’ll be thought-provoking prompts for enriching conversations. There’s also a DIY Rose Dome Workshop where participants can craft a little keepsake to bring home.
True love starts with yourself, so there’s also some exclusive vouchers from Lax. Retreat and Beard Bear Barbershop for that touch of self-care.

Set to be held in its Living Room, this event is created so participants can make meaningful connections from 7PM to 11PM on Valentine’s Day itself.
