About us
Being single in the city is hard! Let us help you change your singleness and make new friends and connections. Let us get together and meet ladies and gentlemen who you may want to make friends with!
What's better than singles, expatriates, international and locals interacting together? It allows for interesting conversations and exotic experiences, and who could ask for more?
There are a lot of single groups out here, most of who arrange Traffic Light parties and lock and key events that take away your natural creativity and confidence. The events are usually so large that you feel out of place. Not with us. We're aiming for a close, tight-knit family kind of group.
This is the group for those who are in their 20s to 40s would like to meet confident, creative, adventurous and well-travelled single people who are fun and easy to get along with. We will meet regularly for drinks and dance, chats and conversations and activities and adventures which help us make new friends and connections.
Join us and in time we will have a fabulous group and great friends!

Fast Friending – New Connections! (21-40/Happy Hours/Bring a lady free)
Hudsons Canada's Pub, 1201 5 St SW, Calgary, AB, CAMoving to a new city is exciting at first — a fresh start, new opportunities, a new chapter. But once things settle, being new in town can feel lonely. You don’t know anyone yet, you’re unsure where to go to meet people, and everyone else seems to already have their circles.
That’s where we come in. Our Fast Friending evenings are designed especially for those who are new in town and ready to build real friendships — creating welcoming spaces where conversations flow naturally and meaningful connections begin.

Reconnect with those you enjoyed speaking to and continue meaningful conversations at your own pace- We are not a close knit tight group. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone. You will not feel alone!
- We have many groups in this city. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people.
- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 21 to 40 age group. While some will be at the younger end of this range there will also be others at the other end of the range and lots in-between! You will naturally gel with others of your own age range and so you will always find many attendees who fit your range.
- We are not a 'dating' group. We are focused on helping ladies and gents meet other like minded ladies and gents. You will generally find a good gender balance (maybe not perfect) at all our events.Why do we have tickets?
