How to Get Over the Nerves and Actually Enjoy Singles Events
Feeling nervous about going to a singles night? You’re not alone. Almost everyone feels a little anxious before walking into a room full of new people. The good news is those butterflies are completely normal — and with a few simple strategies, you can turn them into excitement instead of fear.
Nerves Are Normal
It’s easy to think you’re the only one feeling nervous, but the truth is most people arrive at singles events with the same jitters. After all, you’re putting yourself out there, meeting strangers, and hoping for a spark. A little bit of nervous energy is a sign that you care — and it can even work in your favour by keeping you present and engaged.
Calming Pre-Event Jitters
If your nerves feel overwhelming, here are some tried-and-tested ways to calm them down before a singles night:
- Plan your outfit in advance: Wear something comfortable that makes you feel like your best self.
- Practice positive self-talk: Remind yourself you’re here to have fun, not to impress everyone.
- Breathe and move: A short walk or a few deep breaths before heading in can ease tension.
- Set realistic expectations: Go in with the goal of enjoying yourself, not finding “the one” right away.
These small steps help you shift your focus from fear to curiosity, making it easier to enjoy the experience.
How We Help You Feel Comfortable
At our singles events, we know walking into a new space can be intimidating. That’s why our hosts make it their mission to welcome you from the moment you arrive. You’ll be greeted with a smile, introduced to others, and guided through fun icebreakers so you’re never left standing awkwardly on your own.
The atmosphere is relaxed, supportive, and designed to take the pressure off. You don’t have to come up with clever lines or worry about making the “perfect” impression. All you need to do is show up and be yourself.
Real Stories of Overcoming Nerves
Plenty of guests have told us they almost didn’t come because of nerves — but left feeling glad they did. One attendee shared, “I was so close to cancelling, but once I arrived, I realised everyone felt the same way. I ended up having an amazing time.” Another said, “I was nervous for the first ten minutes, and then I completely relaxed. I even made a new friend I still meet up with today.”
These stories are proof that nerves don’t have to stop you. Once you get past the initial butterflies, singles events can be genuinely fun, uplifting, and even life-changing.

Feeling nervous about singles nights is natural, but don’t let it hold you back from meeting new people and making real connections. With the right mindset — and a little support from our team — you can walk in feeling calm, confident, and open to whatever the evening brings.
