The dating world can be savage and with so many online dating apps on the market now, it is not unheard of for a romantic meet up to take an unexpected turn, the Liverpool Echo reports.

One long term single woman reckons she's now experienced it all from ghosted to discovering her date has secret wives and fetishes.However, Gemma Jones admits she was 'pleasantly surprised' when she attended a new dating event called 'Liverpool's Tequila Anti-Dating App Social' that was more of an 'old school single's night out'.

The 'wholesome' event organised by Bored of Dating Apps took place in Leaf on Bold Street and came with a free tequila shot and only two rules to get in - you have to be over eighteen and you have to be single.Gemma went along with some friends to try out the £10 event, which they say they did not have high expectations for but were surprisingly met with live music and a 'bustling room' full of 'people of all types, ages and sexualities'.

Despite being happily single, the serial dater said: "If anyone can come along and embellish what I already have then great and if not then that's fine too".Gemma explained: "I like to exhaust all options so I decided to try that one final thing when a single friend told me about an 'app free' event.
