DATING WITH AN EDGE
'Cos Dating Should Be Fun
Dating shouldn’t feel like a job. It should be exciting, human, and… a little edgy. That’s exactly what we do at Dating With an Edge. We create events and experiences where men and women meet naturally, have fun, and actually connect—without endless swiping or awkward small talk.
From My Journey to Yours
Hello! I’m Eileen (Lange) Mulder — founder of Dating With an Edge and creator of experiences that help singles connect in meaningful, fun ways. Through my event company Bella Vita Events (est. 2017), I’ve always loved bringing people together in thoughtful, intentional settings.
In 2020, during the COVID pandemic, I launched Dating With an Edge because I saw so many great people stuck in swipe fatigue, awkward apps, and aimless meetups — and I knew there had to be a better way to meet someone real. I believed dating could be both fun and intentional, so I designed experiences where people could show up with confidence, connect, and enjoy the process of meeting someone.
And just when I was helping others find their spark, life surprised me — I met my husband Jacques while roller skating, and in 2025 we said “yes” to forever 🥂❤️
“I wanted dating to be fun again, not stressful. Now I get to help others experience the same magic.
