Speed-DATING for Mid-Life Singles

REGISTRATION CLOSED. CHECK OUT THE DEC EVENT ON 12/5 HERE!

Cost: $35

WHAT
Speed-DATING is musical chairs for adult singles!
Pair up for a short conversation, after a few minutes, rotate & repeat. This particular event is for women-seeking-men & men-seeking-women.

WHY
Meeting new people isn't always easy. Work may connect you with a lot of folks, but that’s not true for many gig workers, entrepreneurs, work-from-homers, empty nesters, retirees, & other mid-lifers.

Speed-DATING overcomes many common issues:

• Asking for a date can be nerve-wracking whether online or off
• Avoiding strangers for fear of disturbing them--who's to say they're single, let alone interested?
• Fearful of talking to someone in a group
• Feeling invisible at large social events
• Being stuck on a date with someone you're either not attracted to, or who hijacks the conversation

35-45% of PDX's mid-lifers are single & many are looking for less FaceTime & more face-to-face encounters. There are better options & asking can be easy!

WHO
Mid-lifers in their 40s–60s in or near the PDX ‘burbs with a level of self-awareness, who are emotionally available & ready to get to know & commit to the partner right for them.

Are you a career-minded professional, a good ol’ workin’ boy or girl, or happily retired? All who are willing to be kind & respectful are welcome!

If:

• Now feels like the time to meet new people & explore a relationship, and
• You’d prefer a purposeful approach, but
• Aren’t sure how to start, how to go from online chats to meeting in-person, or how to get past small talk once you’re face-to-face,

…then it’s time to try something new!

• Make you feel welcome & appreciated

LOWDOWN FOR THE LADIES
I don't recall attending an event where there weren't more women than men & it wasn’t always handled well. I’m embracing it by going out of my way to create a warm, cozy, inviting, high-class vibe for everyone, but especially for you ladies.

Tim & I will prime the fellas to bring their A-Game. And, the evening of, when you're not talking up the guys you can escape to the sanctuary of an exclusive Ladies' Lounge out of sight of the gentlemen & other diners. More here

YOUR HOST
Hi, I’m Jo & like you, I'm in mid-life. I spent the past decade searching for "MyGuy.”

Of all the things I tried, Speed-DATING utterly fascinated me—meeting several prospects in one night can be both efficient & Fun! In fact, you may meet more people than in a month of dating.

Nervous? It’s completely normal! Knowing everyone’s there for the same reason levels the playing field & can ease anxiety.

Let’s bring back romance, courting, & face-to-face connections. We can make the most of fast-track dating, while at the same time easing the pressure.

YOUR COACH
Tim Bray helps singles nationwide navigate the dating world with confidence. He emphasizes face-to-face encounters, champions the return of courtship, & specializes in the "Art of Approach."

Tim’s adept at helping big-hearted men approach women without feeling creepy.

Tim’s Free Offer:

• A 30-min video call to identify dating hurdles
• Tips to help you relax, have fun, & get the most out of the event

You'll schedule with Tim after registration.
