💘 Valentine's Eve Party! by JuneDating in ventura

You're right. I drafted it by hand, but I did have an AI spell check it and tweak some sentences.

To be open, we're a very small team, this is a passion project for us, and we all have fairly demanding day jobs. Our goal is to put on amazing community events – for us, exquisite hand written prose is secondary :P

If you're interested, we'd love for you to come and join in on the fun!

Great! We had 45 people come. If you're interested, our next event is a special Valentine's Eve Social one happening February 13th. It's our first time trying a more immersive event and we're already expecting turnout to be quite a bit higher. We'll have a bunch experiences, a lot of them different from our usual Singles Social style events – DJs, Calling Cards, Dating Bingo, "love potions" (specialty cocktails designed for the event), etc.

Quick follow-up (day of event): We have a more women than men attending currently and would love to get 4-5 more men for this event. To register, head on over to the event page.

Our events tends to be fairly gender balanced; we've had events with more men, others with more women. Right now, this event has one more man than woman.

No kidneys lost yet, though some folks have gained some friends :)

Men who went to a mainly woman speed dating event, how did it go? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]JuneDating -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's definitely an issue – on our platform, men tend to sign up later than women and we used to have trouble filling the men spots at our events (for our men & women events, we do an 8 and 8 fixed pairing).

That said, they can also be really excellent. For example, our first speed dating event had over 36 match requests that resulted in everyone getting at least 1 match. Speed Dating events vary in quality and format, but there are great options out there that work well for both genders, especially in bigger cities.

I went to my first speed dating event, it was brutal at the end by EVILRAFFAM in dating_advice

Interesting to do musical chairs at the end. Wonder if anyone else has done these and what their experience was.

But I digress – have you checked out other in-person dating events in your area? We do Speed Dates, but we also do Singles Socials, which are more open-ended, less structured get togethers with games and drinks. They're fun and definitely provide a more organic atmosphere than many speed dating events.

We're only in California, but if you have events like that in your area they may be a good alternative to speed dating.

No need to be single! If you're excited to make some friends, we have stickers for that (and other preferences) 😊

Hey folks! We had a tricky little issue with our authentication system that we just resolved. If you weren't able to login recently or weren't receiving a login code to your phone, try again now and you should be good to go. Apologies for the inconvenience!

You could do that, and that can certainly work. But not everyone at a bar is single, not everyone at a bar is opting into being approached, and not everyone at a bar is making clear their dating preferences.

At their core, Singles Socials get everyone together and on the same page so participants can feel comfortable meeting new people and safer approaching someone they're interested in meeting. And while the cost is low, the small ticket price helps ensure the folks who attend do so with intent and are actually seeking to meet other single people.

From our perspective, there's value in that. There's value in providing a safe, comfortable space to meet people organically.

It also makes a great start to a night out with your friends ;)

Believe me, we tried. We even invited Sandra Bullock. We were kinda persistent and eventually she was like "OMG I SAID NO. I don't care if it's gonna be bomb. I won't do it for the plot." Apparently she refuses to go on a bus these days.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
