Hey, I’m Eleni
After four years of enduring the rollercoaster of online dating, I finally threw in the towel. That aha moment sparked BeDatingBeautiful, a passion project born from my love of writing and my desire to share dating experiences and tips that go beyond yet another “let’s grab a drink at the pub” date.
My journey wasn’t just about finding love but also about rediscovering myself. After facing burnout and neglecting my own well-being, I learned that self-love isn’t just a buzzword, it’s essential.
Therapy, embracing solo dates, and genuinely falling in love with my own company helped me transform into the confident, fit, and happy 40-year-old woman I am today. Self-care is now my superpower, and I want to inspire others to prioritise themselves too. You can dive into our company values here to see what really fuels my mission.
💪 I’m now a 40-year-old, confident, fit, and strong woman!
Singles Events in Hertfordshire
Having been through the awkwardness of online dating, I wanted to create real-life opportunities for singles to meet naturally, at events they already love. Forget speed dating, this is all about finding your tribe with your vibe! I’ve been running singles events in Hertfordshire since July 2025, where I first launched at Todd in the Hole, the UK’s first festival to have a dedicated singles area. I’ve since launched comedy nights, games meet ups and street food festival fun in the summer.
A Little More About Me
I’m a powerhouse with an infectious grin, always the heartbeat of the party and the friend who’ll say, “Yes, let’s do it!” before you’ve even finished the question. My Greek roots fuel my love for Mediterranean food and my appetite is anything but small!
My kitchen is a dance floor where I whip up vibrant dishes to the tunes of my “so bad they’re good” playlists. At 40, I discovered the joy of solo travel, turning the world into my playground. As a spirited and self-assured single woman, I’ve got an insatiable curiosity for the great outdoors and all the hidden gems that lie off the beaten path.
Covid sparked my love for running, and I now host a Hitchin singles running club every monday. A joyous occassion where we run 5km and enjoy a well earned drink and social after!
My Family
My 12-year-old son, Theo, is my world. He’s loving, handsome, and always on the move, thanks to his love of the gym and football. We cook, run, sing (off-key), and binge-watch S.W.A.T together.
My family means everything to me, and we’re incredibly close. Some of my fondest memories are of summers in Cyprus with my grandparents, plucking fresh figs straight from the trees.
Why Be Dating Beautiful?
I chose the name Be Dating Beautiful because with a sprinkle of self-love and a dash of confidence, you’ll walk into any date feeling fabulous. It’s not just about looking beautiful but truly being “Dating Beautiful”, the best version of yourself.
