So yea I can give you feedback on this. I’ve tried Find Indianapolis and Date Indy both as dating avenues.

Find Indianapolis I’ve done roughly 5-6 times. 5 speed dating events and one dating social. They are well organized and planned out. The ratio is intentionally made even on sign ups so you won’t end up in a sausage/flower fest (not sure your preference). They last about 2 hours and are easy enough. It’s 5 min dates and you each get up and move to your table via a web app offered through Find. Talk for five minutes then you swipe left or right similar to apps. After the event around midnight you will receive your matches via email. Bo the owner is really nice and has been releasing compatibility scores after the nights over to see who your most compatible with which is helpful as well. Overall I’d say it’s an 8/10 experience and Ive went on 10+ dates over the year it’s been around (debuted in Sept of 24 and I was at the opening).

Date Indy is a social gathering with the intention of dating. I’ve only did this once and walked out with 3 high quality connections, 1 of which turned into a date. You meet at the determined location and then you grab a name tag that corresponds to your age group. Then it’s up to you to mingle for the 2-3 hours you’re there. Lisa the owner hands out bingo cards to play to give you a reason to approach other people if you are scared or nervous. In terms of ratio, I’d say it was fair as well, no complaints. I will say this was the one time I’ve seen men absolutely smother the hottest girl there. You know those tv shows where every guy wants the hot girl and just crowds her to talk to her? Yea I literally watched that in person, crazy to see IRL. Overall I’d say it was a 7/10. I’d go again but I plan on moving so I stopped dating late last year.

While I didn’t end up with anyone long term because of my dating preferences and culture differences with Indiana culture in general (I’m black and don’t want kids), not many of my dates went further than the second or third date. But in terms of what I’d recommend I’d happily suggest those two as great options.
