                   The Dinner Table Club organizes dinners with strangers at local restaurants in New York and Los Angeles, costing around $75–$100. Restaurants are happy to host people swapping contact info, as it brings in extra foot traffic on slow nights.

                 The swiping apps have acknowledged that many users want to make sure someone isn’t lying about being 6 feet tall before handing them their number. Tinder recently introduced features allowing users to find or organize get-togethers, while last year, Hinge expanded its $1 million initiative that gives grants of up to $25,000 to nonprofits to organize IRL dating events in New York, LA, Atlanta, and London.

                 that they may offer a better endorphin boost than scampering across the pavement: finding a date. While every popular IRL dating trend seems to ultimately be traced back to the idea that “the apps are a nightmare,” running clubs have an added bonus: You already have something in common and have seen each other at your sweatiest. Plus, with some clubs reaching membership of 300+ people, the odds of getting rejected aren’t as high as they might be at smaller get-togethers. Just slow down if you want to meet someone new.—
