Meet IRL | Curated Speed Dating at Midwest Coast | Ages 28-36

Our curated dating events aim to faciliate introductions with potential. If you're looking to meet someone great in person, our curated speed dating events create space for compatible connections in a fun, low-pressure setting.

This specific event is for our community of folks ages 28 - 36 that are interested in male/female dating. Check out our other upcoming events if this one isn't for you!

How it works:

• Purchase your ticket based on your age and gender—you'll tell us who you're hoping to meet later.
• After checkout, check your confirmation email for a link to set up your profile in our Meet IRL app.
• In the app, you'll answer a few quick questions to help us match you with the most compatible people in the room!

What to expect:

• We’re a small, woman-owned business and we care deeply about creating high-quality, welcoming events. We’ll be there throughout the night to facilitate, answer questions, and make sure you have a great experience.
• Arrive between 6:30–6:45pm to check in, grab a drink, and mingle.

• Speed dating rounds start promptly at 7pm (please arrive no later than 6:55pm).
• Using our app, you’ll rotate through 8–10 one-on-one “mini dates” at different tables. Think of each round as a vibe check—short, intentional conversations with optional prompts to keep things flowing.
• You'll indicate your interest after each round directly in the app, and you can also make private notes if needed.
• We’ll wrap up the structured rounds around 8:30pm, but we encourage you to stick around, grab a drink, and continue your conversations at the bar!
• After the event, you’ll be connected with mutual matches so you can continue to build on the initial spark!
