A Friendsgiving Cooking Experience for Singles

Join Connected's first Friendsgiving! Enjoy cooking, meet new people, make meaningful connections, and discover our community Friendsgiving: Good Food, New Friends & Meaningful Connections 🍂💕A Friendsgiving Cooking Experience for Singles Come hungry. Come curious. Come as you are. Meeting new people as a single adult isn't always easy. Between dating apps, busy schedules, and everyday routines, finding opportunities to make new friends can feel surprisingly difficult. At Connected, we believe the best relationships often begin with shared experiences, genuine conversation, and a little willingness to try something new. That's why we're hosting our first-ever Connected Friendsgiving! Join us at Taste Buds Kitchen in Bellevue for a fun, welcoming evening where we'll cook, laugh, share a meal, and get to know other singles in a relaxed, social setting. Whether you're hoping to expand your social circle, make new friends, or simply enjoy a memorable night out, Friendsgiving offers something different from the typical singles event. Coming solo? Perfect! You don't need to bring a friend or know anyone in advance. That's part of the fun! And while you'll be meeting other singles, this isn't speed dating or matchmaking. There's no pressure to find a romantic partner—just an opportunity to enjoy yourself and see where conversations lead. 🍁 What to Expect 🍽️ A Hands-On Cooking Experience Roll up your sleeves and enjoy an interactive cooking experience at Taste Buds Kitchen. Preparing a meal together creates natural opportunities for conversation, laughter, and teamwork. Beer and wine can be purcharsed seperately. 💕 Meet Other Singles Spend time with people who are also interested in expanding their social circles. No awkward networking or pressure to impress—just good company and a shared experience. 🤝 A Welcoming Social Atmosphere Enjoy a thoughtfully planned evening that makes it easier to strike up conversations, participate at your own comfort level, and feel included. 🌱 Get to Know Connected Meet our founders, experience the kind of social events we're creating, and learn about our guided dating and relationship-skills program launching in January 2027. ✨ No Dating Pressure This isn't a singles mixer with forced introductions or romantic expectations. Come ready to have fun, try something new, and enjoy the evening. 📅 Event Details Date: Wednesday, November 18, 2026 Time: 7:00 PM Location: Taste Buds Kitchen 15015 Main Street, Suite 109 Bellevue, WA 98007 Cost: $95 per person What to Bring: Yourself, your curiosity, and an appetite for good food and great company! 💗 Who Should Attend?

Just a fun evening with people who are open to meeting someone new. 🌿 About Connected Connected is more than dating. It's about learning how to build relationships that last. Founded by two women passionate about relationships and human connection, Connected is a guided dating and relationship-skills experience designed to help singles develop the confidence, awareness, and skills that support healthy, lasting relationships. Our program goes beyond traditional dating by combining relationship education, guided practice, coaching, and social experiences. We believe successful relationships aren't just about finding the right person. They're also about developing the skills to create and sustain them. Our first cohort begins in January 2027, and Friendsgiving is a great opportunity to meet the founders, learn about our approach, and get a feel for what we're creating. There's no obligation to join the program. Learn more at www.connectedpnw.com. 💕 There's a Place for You at Our Table! Sometimes all it takes is a shared experience and a simple hello.
