Skip the Small Talk: Meet Someone Interesting
Zelda Dearest, 150 South Lexington Avenue, Asheville, NC, USA Meetup Event For Singles Ages 40-55
Step into a warm, intimate evening at Wine & Roses, the cozy cocktail lounge tucked inside the boutique hotel Zelda Dearest. This isn’t your typical singles event. It’s a thoughtfully designed experience where meaningful conversation and connection unfold easily.
You’ll connect one-on-one with other participants in a series of relaxed, date-style conversations. Each round features carefully crafted questions that make it easy to move beyond small talk and into something more genuine, engaging, and fun.
With each rotation, you’ll meet someone new, giving you multiple opportunities to spark connection in a natural, low-pressure way.
Fresh flowers, chocolate, and fruit will add a playful, elegant touch. A free beverage is included in admission, and the bar will be open for cocktails.
Bring your curiosity, your presence, and a willingness to experience something a little deeper than the usual night out. You might be surprised at what unfolds. . .
Registration is limited to 8 women and 8 men. Please use this link to register.
