What we’re about
Welcome to Offline Cupid 💘 — Melbourne’s love lab, social experiment, and human connection community.
We’re here to bring people offline again — to meet, talk, laugh, play, and sometimes… fall in love. ❤️
No apps. No endless swipes. Just real people, in real places, having real conversations.

Offline Cupid is not just about dating — it’s about connection.
We’re a space where humans come together to explore all kinds of relationships: romantic, social, creative, and collaborative.
Think of it as a love lab — where you can experiment with new experiences, meet people from different worlds, and rediscover the warmth of real human interaction.

### What Makes Offline Cupid Different
This isn’t just an event — it’s a little social experiment we call a Love Lab. 🧪
💞 You might meet someone who changes your life.
🌍 You might meet someone from another country, culture, or story.
😅 Or maybe, you’ll just rediscover how to enjoy talking to strangers again.And if you don’t feel like talking? That’s fine too.
Sometimes a look, a smile, or a shared silence says more than words ever could. 👁️***
### 🌿
### Come As You Are
Come with no expectations.
Come curious, open, and human.We’re all just experimenting — with love, with language, with courage.
And if you’re afraid of meeting strangers, that’s okay —
it just means you’re already doing the bravest thing:
embracing the world, one connection at a time. 🌎💘***
