About this Event
New York City Blind Date is a casual, fun in-person event for professionals interested in meeting someone and networking.
How it works
The organizer describes common values and interests shared by a male and a female participant. If two people show up, you’ll be introduced and take part in a facilitated group conversation for up to 30 minutes to see if there’s a match. If there isn’t a match, you’ll be invited to a different event at no extra charge.
Why SlowDating works:
Our events are totally different from any friendship social or singles event you have ever been. That's why our motto is "real people, making real connections." We seek to provide an alternative to online dating, "speed dating," and traditional singles mixers with their artificial ice breakers.
After each attendee orders food, the fun immediately begins. Each person provides a three to four minute introduction of themselves to the group. We therefore don't just throw a whole bunch of people together and hope for the best through children-like games that usually lead to nothing much more than social awkwardness.
Through our moderated group introduction facilitated by our fun and engaging event host, we equalize the social environment for extroverts and introverts alike. No need to introduce yourself to everyone there to find out what if anything you might have in common with them. No need for you to also waste time repeating your CV in high pressure speed dating musical chairs or at single mixers.
By the time everyone introduces themselves. Everyone has a head start on the social interaction process which immediately leads to meaningful engaging conversations.
We have perfected our event style in over 15 years of event organizing and now it's time for you to benefit from our intuitive approach to social networking based upon supporting organic conversations. At the end of our events, simply email us about who you would like to further cultivate social connections with.
No need to find a way to get someone's number or Instagram.
