What we’re about
Our meetups usually happen on weekend evenings think Saturday nights at a cozy wine bar, Sunday brunches with live music, or Friday night walking tours through downtown. We plan events around times when people are relaxed and ready to connect, so you won’t find us scheduling anything too early or too hectic. It’s all about creating space to be present, have real conversations, and enjoy the moment without distractions.
I started this group because I noticed so many people were tired of dating apps and awkward first dates at coffee shops. They wanted something more meaningful but didn’t know where to find it. I remembered how powerful shared experiences could be in building real connections like traveling with friends or bonding over a fun challenge and I thought, why not bring that energy to dating? So Gentle Riot Love Associates was born: a space where locals can meet through genuine, thoughtfully planned activities instead of swiping in silence.
When someone finds love through our group, it’s like winning the jackpot and we celebrate like it! We’ll sometimes have little ‘love letters’ read at events (with permission, of course), or toast to couples who met at one of our gatherings. It’s not about grand gestures, but heartfelt recognition. Knowing that two people are building something special because they showed up that one Saturday night? That’s what keeps us going.
If you’re someone who’s ready for real connection not just small talk or endless texting then this is your tribe. We’re all about low pressure fun with high intention hearts. Whether it’s laughing through a cooking class or exploring a new part of town together, every event is designed to spark authentic moments. Come as you are, open your heart, and see where the journey takes you. You might just meet someone who feels like home.
