Authentic connections: Slow dating (35-55 Edition)

A night of laughter, depth, and real human connection.
You asked and I listened.
I’ve been running these Authentic Connections dating events since February for the 20s to 40s crowd, and so many of you have said, “Maz, what about people a bit older?”
So here we are!
I’m genuinely excited to be running this one. Every single dating event I’ve hosted so far has sold out, so if this calls to you, grab your ticket early and don’t miss out.
What This Is About
Tired of swiping, small talk, or first dates that feel like interviews?
This is dating reimagined: slower, more intentional, and deeply human.
Join a group of open-hearted singles aged 35 to 55 for an evening of playfulness, honesty, and curiosity. Through guided games and conversations, you’ll explore what happens when two people meet without pretending and just show up as themselves.
You’ll Love This Event If You:
💛 Value honesty, authenticity, and depth
💛 Want to meet others who share your values
💛 Enjoy real conversation over small talk
💛 Are open to new experiences and meaningful connections
What to Expect

• Playful icebreakers and connection games
• Moments of laughter, silence, and realness
• Light refreshments (yes, there will be berries and chocolate)
• A warm, inclusive space that feels safe and relaxed

Whether you’re recently single, returning to dating, or simply curious about new ways to meet people, this space is designed for you.
