About us
I started the Blue Velvet Singles Matrix because I kept seeing the same thing people tired of swiping through apps and showing up to loud, awkward mixers with no real connection. I wanted to create something different, a space where locals who are genuinely looking for serious relationships could meet in a relaxed, fun way. It felt like there was a missing piece for folks who want something meaningful but still enjoy great activities and good company. So we built this to make finding love feel less like a chore and more like a natural part of living well.
Once you're part of the group, the connection doesn't stop when the event ends. Members stay in touch through our private chat where we share updates, make plans, and keep the vibe going between meetups. It's low pressure but always warm and welcoming kind of like a group text with friends who've got your back. A lot of couples actually start chatting there before they even meet in person, which is pretty cool.
We're based right in the heart of Austin, so most of our events happen around downtown, South Congress, and East Austin places with character, good energy, and just the right mix of chill and lively. Whether it's a picnic at Zilker, a wine tasting in Travis Heights, or a small group dinner at a hidden gem restaurant, we pick spots that make conversation easy and memories natural.
Our events usually run about two to three hours long enough to really get to know people, but not so long that it feels like a marathon. We structure them to include some light icebreakers and rotating pairings, so you're not stuck in one corner all night. Everythingβs designed to help you connect without the pressure, so you can just show up and be yourself.
If you're someone whoβs ready to skip the games and meet quality singles who are also looking for something real, this is your crew. The Blue Velvet Singles Matrix isnβt about surface level speed dating or crowded bars itβs about creating real moments where relationships can grow. We keep things fun, intentional, and local, so you can focus on what matters: meeting someone who gets you. Come join us and see what happens when singles who mean business come together the right way.
