This meetup is for any LGBTQ+ people who are looking to meet other like-minded people outside of bars and dating apps. The monthly meetups will vary from group hikes, yoga classes, games, meditations, and discussions. If you have any ideas for activities or have a venue to host please contact us.
Physical attraction on a dating app doesn't compare to hearing someone's laugh, noticing the energy they bring into a room, or having a conversation about real compatibility. Gay Speed Dating San Diego is built around giving gay men the space to create organic chemistry. No headless torsos, no egos behind keyboards, and no algorithm telling you who you should like. You'll have three ways to meet other guys while enjoying delicious artisanal wines at the beautiful Négociant Winery in Hillcrest!
3 ways to meet people:
Ice Breakers - Organized group activities to warm up the room and get everyone talking
Mini-Dates - 8 one-on-one conversations, just long enough to feel a spark
Open Social - Free mixing at the end of the night. Find your matches and keep it going
You choose your matches after the mini-dates and we share them only when it is mutual. If you don't get a match, don't sweat it. There is plenty of time to get to know the other guys during the open social.
How the night works: 6:30 PM Check-in & Open Mingling
Grab a drink, settle in, and meet the guys. 7:00 PM Introductions & Ice Breakers
We will kick things off together as a group to warm up our social skills. 7:30 PM Mini-Date Rounds
Rotate through 8 mini-dates, each just long enough to know if there is a spark. 8:30 PM Open Social
