Founder Eleni talks to Andy Collins on BBC Three Counties Radio!
Listen to hear the highs, lows, and why we’re launching singles events to help people connect in real life.

After four years of online dating exhaustion, I threw in the towel and wouldn’t you know it? I met someone in real life! That ‘aha’ moment sparked Be Dating Beautiful (BDB), a movement to help singles ditch dating apps and meet in exciting real-life experiences.

“With BDB, I’m on a mission to help singles break free from the dating app cycle and spark real connections at events they already love!

Eleni Koureas, Founder of Be Dating Beautiful
