# A Modern LGBTQIA+ Dating Event

If swiping has you burnt out, small talk feels stale, and you’re craving something real—you’re in the right place.
Connecting Charlotte’s Modern Speed Dating is fun, fast-paced and designed to take the pressure off and make meeting new people feel effortless. Whether you’re outgoing or shy, we make it easy (and enjoyable!) to spark real conversations in a room full of singles looking to connect—just like you.

✨ Why It Works:

• Tech-powered matchmaking: After you grab your ticket, you’ll fill out a quick questionnaire (linked in your confirmation email) so our tech can match you with the most compatible people at the event.
• Effortless & efficient: You’ll rotate through 8-10 mini-dates—just enough time to see if there’s a spark. We make it fun and easy with conversation starters at each table. Click yes or no after each date, and move on to your next mini date!
• No awkward guesswork: After the event, you’ll get your matches sent straight to your phone to continue the conversation.
• Totally solo-friendly: Most people come solo and leave with new connections. The vibe is warm, upbeat, and full of people who actually want to meet someone, including meeting new friends!

🍻 Drink specials + karaoke after: Enjoy $6 well drinks, $2 off craft beer, and stick around for karaoke starting at 10PM if you’re feeling the vibe.

These events have a track record of selling out and sparking real, lasting connections. Don’t miss your chance!

🎟 Grab your ticket, set up your profile, and we’ll take care of the rest. :)

Additional Notes:
While tickets for this event are sold by age range, we recognize that age is only one factor in determining potential compatibility. If we believe there is a strong potential match for you outside your identified age range, we may still try to facilitate that connection.
Our goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all attendees, and we hope that everyone will approach this event with an open heart and an open mind.
It is important to note that we do not discriminate based on age or sex, and all attendees are welcome at this event.
