Dating App Fatigue? Why Real-Life Connection Still Matters with Alana NolanAre you tired of endless swiping, disappointing dates and wondering where all the good people have gone?In this week's episode of Healing with Teeling, I sit down with Alana Nolan, founder of Single Mingle UK, one of the UK's fastest-growing singles event communities, to talk about why so many singles are stepping away from dating apps and choosing to meet people in real life instead.Alana shares what she's learned from bringing together thousands of singles across the UK and why genuine connection often happens when we stop hiding behind a screen and start putting ourselves back into the real world.We discuss:• Why dating apps can leave you feeling exhausted, frustrated and disconnected• The "someone better might be out there" mindset that's sabotaging modern dating• Why chemistry can't always be judged from a profile picture• The biggest mistakes singles make when trying to meet someone• How confidence grows when you step outside your comfort zone• Why many people are still single despite wanting a relationship• How Singles Mingle events help people connect naturally without awkward speed dating• The surprising friendships and communities that are formed through singles events• Why having a shopping list of requirements may be keeping you stuck• What dating trends Alana is seeing in 2026 and beyondOne of my favourite takeaways from this conversation is that many of the good singles are sitting at home believing there are no good singles left.If you've been feeling disillusioned with dating, this episode is a reminder that connection still happens. Love still happens. Sometimes it starts with one brave decision to leave the house, start a conversation and put yourself in a room full of possibilities.Connect with AlanaSingle Mingle UK hosts relaxed, fun singles events for people aged 30+ across the North West and is expanding into Birmingham later this year.Instagram:@singlemingleukFacebook:@singlemingleukReady to Break the Patterns Keeping You Single?Take my free Love Blocking Archetype Quiz and discover the subconscious pattern that may be holding you back from the healthy relationship you want:https://www.rachelteeling.com/why-am-i-still-single-quizOr book an Empowerment Session to explore how coaching can help you create the love life you deserve:https://www.rachelteeling.com/book-an-empowerment-sessionIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review and share it with a friend who is ready to stop swiping and start creating real connection.
