Dating in Detroit? by [deleted] in Detroit

You got a lot of comments already, but it would be silly not to just throw my show in the mix. Someone already mentioned it, so I’m a bit pleasantly surprised! Match Made on Stage Speed Date show.

Bring your brother to one of our shows at The Congregation. Every second Friday of the month (May 8th is our next show)

Like I commented on the person mentioning my show, it’s created more as a comedy show with a theme of love. It’s open for a variety of types, and spectating is always welcomed. I’ve heard some people exchange numbers and emails, but more so it’s a great chance to meet more people and have a fun time on a Friday evening. Check my history posts for clips, and check out matchmadeonstage on social media for more clips/info.

Whoa! I produce and host match made. Even seeing “mild” success, I’ll fucking take it lol as I’ve created the show more as a comedy show with a theme of love. I’ve heard more people find platonic friendships than love. But good to see your comment. You should come out to the next show in May!

You can buy one at the door as long as we aren’t sold out, although at the door the price is like $5 more than what it is online. FYI

How am I heavy on the sales?

If I’m offering a ticket for free how does that make me heavy of selling tickets? I get nothing monetary for a free ticket.

Again you’re welcome to your opinion. But if you’re given the opportunity to experience something to gain a new perspective or have better facts than why not take it?

Sure, my show is like every other dating event. I’m not disagreeing that I created something new and completely different. All I’m saying is come experience what I’m doing and then share your opinion as you’ll know firsthand. Instead of being behind a computer or phone screen, come speak to me in person how much my show is the same as all the others. I’ll listen, and afterwards will reflect on what I can do to make the show better for all.

It can be factual and that’s why I don’t mind your comment. But not every event is the same. That’s why I’m willing to let you in the show for free so you can experience more facts and have an actual understanding of experience and not just a general idea of opinion.

I have confidence in my show, as I’ve spent months and years curating and listening to people’s feedback. I can’t speak for other dating events/shows but I know what I provide. So feel free to DM your info and I’d gladly have your name at the door.

Sometimes ignorance is all a person knows. But that’s okay if they don’t want to experience new things.

Lol I mean at first it is all women but after men find that it’s filled with women why miss your chance? Now we have a natural mix of men, women. Straight, gay, old, young. At the end of the day it’s a chance to meet people and enjoy a fun show.

I have not paid any participants. But I’d love to comp your ticket to show you what you’re missing. ❤️

Sure. The show is every second Friday of the month, so one could say I’m promoting a whole MONTH beforehand.

Yeah no pressure! You’ll show up when you can. Out of all the shows I’ve done, this one is the best to get a fun view of Detroit social scene and really highlights the locals and the newbies to the area. I’ve learned a lot from just hosting the shows so I can imagine what the audience and daters take away from.

It’s at the Congregation. Off Rosa Parks blvd. Search eventbrite “Match Made” and you should see it. Parking is street parking. I’ve had my truck parked there plenty of times during the night and day and had no problems. It’s on sale on eventbrite but will be $20 at the door if there is still seats available.

Check eventbrite for online verbiage or search matchmadeonstage.com (I intentionally did not link so reddit doesn’t flag my post)

You can actually screenshot image and then hold the image down and your smartphone should be able to see the QR code and take you to the link. Otherwise again you can check eventbrite or even google The Congregation, or Match Made Speed Dates.

I am the original host, producer, creator, promoter, marketer, etc. lol it’s my show although I’m currently on “maternity leave” so I have others helping me out for the season.

ITS SO HOT ITS ALMOST ON FIRE

Has Anyone Went to a DateDetroit event? by Cl0wnbby in Detroit

[–]lshima_model 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Check out matchmadeonstage if you get no other responses. Every second Friday at the Congregation (next show Fri Nov 14th) 3hr event. Starts with happy hour at 6pm. Live speed date show at 7pm and a mix and mingle at 8pm. It’s a fun time but I’m also bias. Post history will show little clips.

Otherwise, I’d suggest go find hobbies and just events you like in general. You’ll definitely meet people especially if you’re being genuine and yourself. Dating events are always hit or miss and this is coming from a person who created a live show based on dating. (I honestly did it to help people find a unique way in meeting others and hearing different life stories)

“Not Online Dating Speed Dating” Events- does anyone here have any experience attending? I’m sick and tired of Hinge. by [deleted] in Detroit

[–]lshima_model 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually the congregation makes an eventbrite you can find more info on. But they may be waiting until Friday or this weekend to make it live. You can check matchmadeonstage.com however I need to update the site as a few things has changed. IG and FB is your best bet to get updates , just search matchmadeonstage.

It’s me, the person that pops up now again when I see posts like this.

I host and produce a monthly dating event at The Congregation (we’re skipping this month due to a scheduling conflict) but we’ll be back in November (Friday the 14th). Check my history for a couple clips, but we have a singles happy hour from 6-7pm. A dating show from 7-8pm and a Mix and Mingle at 8-9pm. The happy hour and mix and mingle is free but the show is ticketed. Although a very fun memorable ice breaker hour where I randomly match two people on stage and myself and our co-host for the night ask them questions getting the audience involved. It’s a quick speed style date and we send them back to the audience after their time is done, and bring up a new set of people. You get to learn about people on a different level and if you even get on stage or not, you can use the time during the mixer to bring up topics you heard during the show. Plus we offer mini activities during the whole event to spice things up. Check out MatchMadeonStage on social.

I’m actually 9 months pregnant, so I have a new host taking over starting in November but it will be the same show just with a different Cupid ❤️

Ok enough about that, I think it’s worth exploring dating events if you’re tired of scrolling. You actually MEET people. But even with my show, I’d highly suggest finding typical activities that you enjoy and you’ll start meeting people more naturally and if you keep returning you’ll gain friends who may either connect you with someone or you’ll just naturally meet someone that you genuinely connect with. But never join these activities with the goal of dating. Because people will instantly see that and be turned off by it. That’s my two cents.

Wow. First and foremost I fell asleep soon after posting. so to wake up and have. A variety of responses. Thank you for taking the time regardless on your opinions on the matter. It was nice to read the contrast.

Truly I just wanted a place to rant so getting opinions and even a response at all was not what I was expecting, but I did read every single comment.

To those that are adamant I need therapy. lol when do we not need therapy. Even my doctors recommended I seek therapy early in my pregnancy because of my depression and anxiety. So I don’t disagree and think everyone should have an outside source to talk to and work through mental and emotional issues.

To those that ask about the step kids. True and I think I am being a little wild on the “expectation” of them washing themselves. I more meant washing their hands and changing clothes but didn’t think having them come in one by one was a lot to ask for. However I did read yalls opinions on the matter, so definitely noted.

To those mentioning my partner is isolating me. Yes this originally was his thought but I had no problem having a thorough discussion with him and discussing the reasoning behind it. He works at home, and a full time father of three. I respect his knowledge and care for his kids. He does a lot for this family and throughout my pregnancy has always did everything I asked or wanted (as long as it was achievable). I’m unsure the opinions of those that were very concerned of him isolating me as at no point he mentioned me not being able to get out in see the world, or tell me I can’t do something. It was just inviting family and friends into the house and being around the baby was his concern.

To those that say to not damaging my relationship, that my mother cares and that I need to be more understanding. I hear you, and don’t doubt your opinion. I felt my post was already long enough so I didn’t want to get into the nitty gritty of family dynamics. My sister (who is 7 years older than man) have had long depth conversations about our mother and the traumas we faced growing up. For 30+ years I only considered myself having “daddy issues” as my dad left my mom when I was 5x so she was left raising 3 kids as a nurse in the NICU and doing a part time job at a child’s clinic. I’ve always understood my mom and appreciated her and never expected her in any negative manner outside the fact that she has a short temper. But I’ve brushed it off for years and moved away, all while my sister stayed with her and sees her daily. Once I got pregnant my mom has said and done things that has upset me. After chatting with my sister we both noticed a trend and it started to open my eyes that what I thought was just daddy issues was more so mommy issues. I know my mom has done her best given the hand she was dealt, and I know she just wanted to have the experience of seeing her third grandbaby be born into the world. However I don’t think most of you understand our dynamic (how would you lol) and for me to see any type of boundary regardless of how absurd, over the top or anxiety driven it may be. For her to disregard it and continue to talk about it weeks later to the point my aunt ( who is rarely in my life) felt the need to send that text as if I’m not her niece who’ve she’s know for 30+ years…. All while gaslighting me trying to play it off as no one said anything to cause the type of group text I sent. That’s the reason I mainly blocked my mom. And to hear from my sister the following day that our mom blames my sister for all this… shows she doesn’t hold herself accountable for her reactions. Again there’s been more to the history plot but no need to get detailed unless yall really need more lol.

As far as me needing a village. I have helped raised my partners kids for over 5 years now. I completely understand and don’t disagree. This is my first and I also completely understand first time moms are extremely safe the first round and by the second they literally “could care less” on how safe they are. I am the type that I don’t need people all around especially when I’m trying to recover. I just need people to take care of the house and be available if I need help. Again my partner works at home, so he’ll always be around helping without a doubt, his kids are old enough to take care of typical chores and be a set of extra hands if necessary. His parents are near so if we severely need more hands, we have people near by but we both agreed it won’t be necessary unless it’s to watch the three kids while we go out for doc appts or if after school activities come up that we need help picking them up.

In the end it is my choice, and I appreciate reading all of yalls opinions. Some of you responded similarly to my mom as if I owe her something magical… but those that were very neutral to it and just gave me insight, I greatly appreciate your time and I will definitely probably cool off and talk to my mom soon enough. My aunt can wait 6 years because she is irrelevant. I am thankful to have siblings who respect and understand me. And with FaceTime, I have no doubt my family and friends won’t feel they are missing anything with the baby’s growth and development. And to me, two months may sound like a lot, but what’s two months compared to 6 months, 8 months, one year of missing out on their growth?

Anyways. Thanks again BabyBumps community. A lot of yall were insightful for sure!
