About us
We’re all about creating fun, low pressure events where real connections can happen naturally. Think cozy wine tastings, group hikes, cooking classes, game nights, and weekend getaways activities that give you a chance to actually talk and get to know someone beyond a quick hello. These aren’t your typical awkward speed dating mixers. We design each event to spark conversation, shared laughs, and genuine moments, so you can meet locals who are also looking for something serious, not just a casual fling.
Your comfort and safety are super important to us. Everyone who joins agrees to a simple code of conduct be respectful, be kind, and come with honest intentions. We screen members to make sure people are genuinely looking for meaningful relationships, and our event hosts are trained to make sure everyone feels included and at ease. If someone’s not treating others with respect, they won’t be part of our group for long. This is a space where you can be yourself without worry.
We started Blazing Ember because we’ve all seen how hard it can be to meet someone real in today’s dating world. Swiping endlessly, ghosting, mixed signals it gets exhausting. We wanted to create a community where singles who are ready for love can connect in a more authentic way. No games, no distractions just real people doing real things together. The name ‘Blazing Ember’ comes from that spark we all carry the potential for something meaningful that just needs the right environment to catch fire.
If you’re tired of the dating app grind and ready to meet people face to face in a warm, welcoming setting, this is your group. Whether you’re new in town or have lived here for years but still haven’t found your person, Blazing Ember is designed for locals who want more than just a date they want a connection. Come join us, be part of the conversation, and see where real talk can lead. Your next chapter could start with one event, one conversation, one spark.
