Single Parents Speed Dating 50+ at Longley’s in New Haven, CT

Meet people who understand your story.
Being a single parent comes with its own set of experiences—and this event is all about connecting with others who get it. Join us for an easygoing evening where single parents 50+ can meet, chat, and share some laughs in a comfortable, welcoming space.

Our events make meeting new people feel natural and pressure-free. Whether you’re hoping to find someone special or simply enjoy good company, this is a great way to step out and try something new.
How the Evening Works

Relaxed Kickoff: Start with a casual mingle—grab a drink (not included, but encouraged) and settle in before the dating rounds begin.

Guided Conversations: Each round includes a light icebreaker question to keep things flowing. Our friendly host ensures the evening runs smoothly and stays fun.

Meaningful Mini-Chats: You’ll spend a few minutes with each person before moving on to the next, keeping things easy and engaging.

Simple Matching System: After each round, mark “friend,” “date,” or “none.” If there’s a mutual match, you’ll both get each other’s contact info the next day.
