"Gen X" Speed Dating + 80s/90s Dance Party

Join us for a Gen X Speed Dating event where you'll meet up to 10 other Gen X singles (born 1965-1980) in one evening over 3-5 minute "speed" dates.

Gen Xers are renowned for their self-reliance, self-direction, and individualism—traits nurtured by the independence they experienced from a young age. Our motto? "If you want something done right, do it yourself." They're resourceful, independent, and masters at maintaining work-life balance.

Remember the days when you memorized phone numbers, had massive CD collections neatly organized in binders, and appreciated life before the Internet, cellphones, and TikTok? Friday evenings were Blockbuster nights, we always kept a pencil in the car for cassette tapes, used baby oil instead of sunscreen, and cherished a good mix tape!

Ditch the dating apps and experience the fun of meeting other Gen X singles in person. This event is all about connecting with like-minded individuals who "get it," because they were there.

Event Highlights:

• Meet up to 10 other Gen X singles (born 1965-1980) in 3-5 minute "speed" dates
• Enjoy a night filled with fun, laughter, and new connections
• Stay after for an 80s/90s Dance Party from 8-12 at same venue!

Please note: Each dater must make at least one food or drink purchase to support our host venue.

Efficiency Meets Romance: We’ve ditched the old-school pamphlets and pencils. Instead, we’re powering matches with our partner, SpeedMatchApp. No app downloads required—just a simple link click!

Pre-Event Prep: Before the big day, you'll receive an email prompting you to create a matching profile on SpeedMatchApp (takes 2 minutes). Think of it as your digital wingman/woman, making life easier for you!

Charged Up: Charge that cell phone, my friend! At the event, your phone becomes your secret weapon. As you “date,” you’ll use it to select your matches in real time.

Match Magic: Feeling a connection? Fantastic! You’ve got options baby! Select “friend,” or “date." or "none." And guess what? If the feeling’s mutual, the universe (well, our servers) will work their magic. By the time you get home from the event, you’ll receive a text with all your sizzling matches.
