Meet IRL | Curated Speed Dating at The Dawson | Ages 32-42

Our curated dating events aim to faciliate introductions with potential.

This specific event is for our community of folks ages 32-42 that are interested in male/female dating. Check out our other upcoming events if this one isn't for you!

How it works:

1. Purchase your ticket based on your own age and gender - you'll tell us who you want to meet at a later point!
2. Check your confirmation email for a link to set up your profile in our app. In the app, you'll answer a few simple questions to help us find the most compatible people in the room for you to meet.
3. Show up to the event with your best vibes, and let the connections happen!

What to expect on the night:

• You'll arrive between 6.30-6.45pm to get settled, grab a drink and play our ice breaker game! The event will start promptly at 7pm, with a short break built in to give time to take a breather.

• Once we get going, you'll chat with potential matches one-on-one, with conversation cards as optional prompts to keep the conversation fun and flowing. Plan for around 10 short conversations - they're quick, so we like to see them as a vibe-check before a further conversation. Hosts will be on hand to let you know when its time to move on.

• After the event we encourage you to stick around, continue any fun conversations, and hang out with us at the bar! We end the structured part of the event around 8.30pm, so there's chance to follow up the evening with a one-on-one drink or to grab something to eat with anyone you'd like to get to know better, which we love and encourage!

• Shortly after the event has finished, you'll receive details of any mutual matches. Then it's over to you to set up your next date!
