About us
I started Cedar Ridge Singles Matrix because I saw too many friends and neighbors feeling stuck in the endless swipe cycle, hoping for real connection but ending up disappointed. It got me thinking why not create a space where singles could actually meet in person, laugh together, and see if there’s a genuine spark, all in a relaxed and fun environment? I wanted to build something that felt more meaningful than another dating app, where people come together not just to mingle, but with the shared goal of finding something serious and lasting.
Most of our events have around 15 to 25 people, which is the perfect size big enough to meet new folks, but small enough that you won’t feel lost in the crowd. We’ve found this number really works well for creating a comfortable vibe where everyone gets a chance to connect, without the awkwardness of huge mixers or the pressure of one on one speed dating. Whether it’s a dinner outing, a hiking adventure, or a game night, the energy is always light, inclusive, and full of great conversation.
We welcome locals who are single and genuinely looking for a meaningful relationship no games, no distractions. If you’re in your 30s to 50s, enjoy good company, and want to meet people with similar values and intentions, this is the place for you. It doesn’t matter if you’re new to the area or have lived here for years we’re all about creating a warm, down to earth community where connections can grow naturally.
If you’re ready to step out of the digital dating world and into real experiences with real people, we’d love to have you join us. This isn’t about forced interactions or awkward setups it’s about sharing moments that matter, discovering common interests, and seeing where things might lead. Come as you are, with an open heart and a sense of adventure, and let’s build something real together.
