What we’re about
Our purpose is to make meeting people in real life cool again, and give individuals an alternative to the madness of online dating apps. We give you an opportunity to date, old school style!
Imagine meeting someone in real life, before stalking them on the internet!
We thrive to create events that help connect individuals in a genuine & positive way, and we achieve this by creating a very casual & low pressure vibe.
We host a variety of different events from traditional Speed Dating events to Singles Games nights at local breweries around Hamilton. Our current event locations are Grain & Grit & Steel Town Cider Co.
Essentially at our events you will meet 10-15 potential dates and have the opportunity to see if you would want to continue to connect with this individual after the event. If you do not click with anyone, you do not have to submit any matches!
A Match
After each event you submit the name/number of the individual you would like to connect with and if both parties choose each other than we email you their contact. This process eliminates the awkwardness of having to give out your phone number at a singles event when you don't want to connect further.
We have a variety of events currently, check out our current event list below
Hope to see you there!
