Hearts & Hops: Spring into Connection (A Wellness-First Speed Dating Event)

Forget everything you think you know about "the spark." Most dating apps focus on compatibility—hobbies, movies, and music—but research shows that personality matching is a myth. What actually creates a lasting connection? Character, communication, and confidence.

Join us at Penguin City Brewing for an evening that’s half speed dating, half intimacy masterclass. Whether you’re looking for "The One," a new best friend, or just want to level up your relational wellness, this is for you.

What to Expect:

• The "Compatibility Myth" Talk: A deep dive into why "on-paper" matching doesn't work and how to spot real Green Flags.
• Structured Speed Dating: 4-minute rotations with "Deep Talk" prompt cards to skip the small talk.
• Wellness & Intimacy Corner: Meet our guest Sex Coach, who will be sharing expert advice and giving away intimacy wellness goodies!
• Fluid Connection: Not a romantic match? No problem. We encourage "Friendship Matches" to build a stronger, more connected Youngstown community.

Who is this for? Everyone! We use an inclusive labeling system so you can clearly indicate who you are interested in (Men, Women, Non-Binary) or if you’re just here to make friends.

Ticket includes: Event entry, connection match sheet, and expert-led education from sex and relationship professionals. (Drinks and food available for purchase on site).
