Spark: A Curated Singles Night (Ages 22–35)

## ✨ Spark: Match Night (Ages 22–35)

For Singles Who Still Believe in the Plot Twist
🗓 Saturday, January 17
⏰ 8:00 – 10:00 PM
📍 Eighteenth Street Lounge — Washington, DC
Tired of swiping and small talk that goes nowhere? Same.
Spark is a curated singles night designed for real, face-to-face connection — drinks in hand, cozy rooftop energy, and matches you’ll actually want to talk to. No awkward speed dating, no pressure, no endless apps.
This event is part of our Cuffed by Cupid Match Series, leading up to Valentine’s Day. We’ve hosted 12+ events for 373+ guests in 2025, and each one gets more refined — tighter age ranges, better questions, smoother flow, and well-trained hosts who make the night feel easy and welcoming.
If you’re a little romantic, a little realistic, and ready to meet new people IRL, this night is for you.
