Speed Dating on the Marina for Gay Men | Ages 25-45 | Long Beach

15 dates, one live reveal, and a first date already covered if you match. On the marina in Long Beach, CA. For gay men, ages 25-45. Imagine this: you're sitting across from someone new, actually talking. No phone between you, no profile to scroll past. Just a real conversation, timer running, both of you figuring out in real time if there's something there. Now put that moment on the marina, afternoon light on the water, boats drifting by as you settle in with a drink. That's the evening. Speed dating on the Marina isn't a crowded mixer. It's a curated afternoon at Ballast Point Long Beach dedicated to gay single men ages 25 to 45 who are ready to meet their person. Think The League and Hinge, but real life. No swiping, no ghosting, no guessing if the photos are five years old. Just you, 15 other singles, and real conversation...with a twist (and breathtaking views). Here's how it works: • You'll go on 15 mini-dates, a few minutes each, rotating through the room until you've met everyone. • Following the rotations wrap, you'll fill out a match form marking who you clicked with throughout your mini-dates. • The host will analyze the results and do the reveal live, right there in the room, no waiting for an email the next day.* • Mutual pick? That's a match. All matches get their first date on the house / the host the same day (that's right - it's already taken care of for you 😉) • If someone has more than one mutal match, they will have them opporunity to choose which person they would like to go on a first date with *Every mutual match gets exchanged 24 to 48 hours after the event via email, so even if you don't lock in a first date on the spot, you'll have what you need to make it happen and explore possibilities. What's included: • 🍹 1 drink of choice to ease you in • 🥟 Delicious hors d'oeuvres / small bites all afternoon • 💬 Conversation cards (in case you need them) • 💫 A live match reveal, game-show style • ❤️ Matched?
