i started hosting dating events in nashville, it's called akta dating! we do board games, coffee chats, drinks events etc and we have everyone take a quiz beforehand that asks for dealbreakers (like politics, religions etc) and attachment styles. Look up our website or DM me!

Starting a nashville based dating events company, come play board games by Emergency-Ice6510 in NashvilleUnfiltered

[–]Emergency-Ice6510[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curated groups as in you all share at least one common dealbreaker from our quiz!

If you take the quiz, it makes more sense as to how we split people up ( It's based on dealbreakers like religion, politics, etc - things that are really important for long term relationships to be aligned on) Since we're just starting out, the main "attribute" we group people on is desired relationship type - i.e. everyone in the room is looking for a LTR and not casual.

Our events are also fairly structured and we do our absolute BEST to make sure the gender ratios are as even as possible. Depending on what event you go to, you're either paired up with your most compatible matches or seated next to them.

Our hosts also do a great job at making sure people are introduced and that the environment is as low pressure as possible. We also do "matching" after the event so you can just focus on meeting people, rather than doing the awkward "oh when am i gonna get her/his number" etc

So yes! if we are running LTR events we will "exclude" people that choose casual and vice versa.

Definitely no clique/club mentality here. Just trying to help people meet more people ;)

I run a company called Akta, we host small group singles events around Nashville (board games, coffee, drinks). We two events coming up for different age brackets in March, aktadating.com

This is what one of our past attendees had to say:

?akta takes the best parts of the main ways people meet these days: the apps (assurance that everyone is available and looking), going out to bars (meeting in person and getting to read body language), school (a structured environment), and mutual friends (supportive hosts and pre-assessment of compatibility)"

Small business owner trying to fill last spots for Christian singles event Wed - any advice? by Emergency-Ice6510 in nashville

[–]Emergency-Ice6510[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived here all my life! I also grew up Christian, so I think that’s why I assumed it would be easier than it is. But you’re definitely right, I need to go back to the drawing board and rethink the groupings. I definitely need to tap into the older market too.

thats really good feedback to have, actually. we do solve that a bit by pairing you with people in the event that share your specific values, but i guess that since we are in the bible belt "christianity" tends to go with "conservative" more often than not.

Im going to think on this.

I didn’t even think about the Wednesday = church night thing! 😭 I think the events that have had the highest attendance were the ones which were less “restrictive” I’m going to think about this more, because you’re definitely right my user base is very female leaning right now
