Slavic Therapy | Warsaw Speed Friending

Slavic Therapy: Wine, Red Flags & Speed Friending 🍷🚩

You know that moment when you meet someone new and both of you suddenly become the most boring versions of yourselves?
“So, what do you doooo?”
“Whaaaat are your hobbies?”
“Wheeere are you frooom?... And what’s your name again?”

So this event skips the small-talk BS and gets straight to the point.

Hi, I’m Karina, a psychologist who couldn’t decide between therapy and stand-up, so apparently I’m trying to do both now. I’m also Polish and, as you can probably tell by now, I genuinely despise small talk.

🍷 ENTRY CONDITION: At least one purchase at the bar.

Here’s what to expect:
🚩 Speed Friending + Red Flag Game
You’ll rotate between people and pick question cards from different categories: psychological & philosophical, invasive, red flags, confessions, hot takes, work without the corporate mumbo jumbo, dilemmas, Would You Rather, etc.

Everyone also gets 3 red and 3 green stickers to use during the conversations. Someone gives a deeply questionable answer? Give them a red flag. Surprisingly emotionally healthy? Green flag.

There will be questions like:

• If you could be a world champion at one completely useless skill, what would it be?
• If we called your ex, what would they say your biggest red flag is?
• What’s on your playlist that you’re slightly
  embarrassed to admit you listen to?
• If a friend spoke to you the way you talk to yourself in your head, how long would they last?

🚩 Red Flag Bingo
Walk around, meet new people and find someone who matches the squares on your card.

🏆 Biggest Red Flags of the Night
At the end, we’ll crown the 3 fastest people to complete the bingo and collect 5 red flags. So, yeah, being problematic may finally pay off.
There will be amazing prizes, so you’d better be quick.

🐱 Meme Name Tags + Games
Pick a meme that matches your current mood and write your name on a blank sticker, because remembering 20 new names is too much. There’ll also be Jenga, Dominoes and Party Cards for when you want a break from interrogating strangers.

This is Speed Friending, not Speed Dating, so yes, couples are welcome.

However, if you're single and leave with a new situationship, or at least a new enemy - congratulations, we'll consider the event a succes.
