Meeting new people can be hard - join us for curated speed dating where we match you with the most compatible people in the room! Looking to meet someone great in person? Our speed dating events bring together compatible singles in a fun, low-pressure setting designed to spark real connections. This specific event is for our community of singles ages 26-35 that are interested in hetero dating. Check out our other upcoming events if this one isn't for you! How it works: • Purchase your ticket based on your age and gender—you'll tell us who you'd like to meet later. • After checkout, check your confirmation email for a link to set up your profile in our Meet IRL app. • In the app, you'll answer a few quick questions to help us match you with the most compatible people in the room! What to expect: • We’re a small, local business and care deeply about creating high-quality, welcoming events. We’ll be there throughout the night to facilitate, answer questions, and make sure you have a great experience. • Arrive between 6:30–6:45pm to check in, grab a drink, and mingle before we get started - please note, arriving on time is important! • You’ll rotate through 8+ one-on-one “mini dates” at different tables. Think of each round as a vibe check—short, intentional conversations with optional prompts to keep things flowing. • After the dates end, we encourage you to stick around, grab a drink, and meet even more new people at the bar. • An hour after the event, you’ll be connected with mutual matches to carry on the conversation! Access Notes • The Dawson is a fully accessible location with staircase and elevator access to the second floor. • This event involves frequent moving between tables and standing for periods of time; if this is difficult for any reason, just let us know ahead of the event and we’ll make a plan. • For any other accessibility needs, please reach out before the event—we’ll do our best to accommodate.
