Toronto Black Singles: Friendship, Professional Networking & Slow Dating
Join us at Carib Dish on November 29, 2026 at 1:00 PM (EST) for an evening designed to connect Toronto’s Black singles through friendship, professional networking, and slow dating. Whether you're looking to expand your social circle, build meaningful connections, or take your time meeting someone special, this event offers a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Come ready to mingle, laugh, and maybe even find a new friend or more. Because who said networking can’t be fun?
Why our events work:
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.
