Frequently Asked Questions

About us, not about dating 😜

  • We started the Date Well Project (DWP) to reinvent the dating culture in Malaysia because tbh, we were sick and tired of dating apps. We are a socially conscious enterprise aimed at connecting like-minded singles at fun and meaningful offline dating events (i.e. Mingles, Speed Dates, Volun-dates) while creating social impact. All events support fundraising for charitable organizations. Meet someone new and support social impact. Sounds like a win-win eh?

    We also organize Volun-dates for Couples/Groups as well as for corporate teambuilding.

  • If you are single, above 21 years old, ready to meet someone new, a Malaysian citizen or permanently living here, NOT an axe murderer/scammer/soliciting business for your latest MLM venture, and you want to be more purposeful with dating, join us for our events! Register for our events here.

  • We usually hold them at venues across Klang Valley, ranging from art studios to volunteer centres to cozy restaurants. If you would like to collaborate with us as a venue provider, please write to hello@thedatewellproject.com

  • Mingles are small-scale events where singles (we try to get an equal ratio of males and females) get to mingle with each other. It is lightly facilitated. Our debut event is a Paint and Mingle event. Ideal for those seeking new experiences in an intimate setting.

    Speed Dates are events where singles get a 5-mins speed date with each date. This is more facilitated and is a fun way to get to know someone. We would be curate some cards containing questions that you can ask your date. Ideal for those who like it fast-paced.

    Volun-dates (volunteer + dating) is a meaningful way to get to know someone on a deeper level. We would be collaborating with local NGOs for a range of activities from volunteering with animal shelters to packing food for the food bank to cleaning up the beach. Ideal for those seeking connections through working on a common goal.

    We run two versions of Volun-dates: Volun-dates for Singles and Volun-dates for Couples/Groups.

    Please refer to What We Do for more information on the different events.
