Valentine’s Day Connection: Speed Dating at Steady Brewing (Ages 40+)

Dating in your 40s (and beyond) can feel… exhausting. Apps are hit or miss, DMs go nowhere, and finding someone who’s genuinely intentional can feel rare — especially when you’re craving something real.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re doing things differently.

This speed dating experience is designed for straight singles ages 40+ who are open to meaningful connection and ready to meet people in real life. Hosted at Steady Brewery in Long Beach, this thoughtfully curated evening blends great conversation, relaxed vibes, and just enough structure to make connecting feel easy — not awkward.

Think less pressure, more presence. Less swiping, more chemistry.

• Structured speed dating rounds with guided timing
• Intentional conversation prompts (no “so what do you do?” panic)
• A relaxed brewery atmosphere (drinking optional)
• Time before and after to mingle organically
• A respectful, welcoming, and grown crowd

• Straight singles ages 40+
• People dating with intention (not boredom)
• Folks open to real conversation, curiosity, and chemistry
• Anyone ready to try something new this Valentine’s Day

• A chaotic mixer with no direction
• A loud bar scene
• A guarantee of “the one” — but definitely a chance at something meaningful

Your ticket includes two (2) drinks and light snacks to keep the energy flowing.
Non-alcoholic options will be available.

Spots are limited to ensure balanced rotations and a quality experience.
Advance ticket purchase is required.

Come as you are. Be open. Be kind.
You never know who you might meet.
