Slow Dating for People that Love to Read (straight/queer)

Picture a warm room full of books, and women who actually read them.
This is slow dating the Metis way: an evening built around meeting people, with real conversation taking the place of endless profiles. You'll get to know other queer women who love to read through a handful of gentle, low-pressure activities we've put together, the kind that work beautifully if you're on the shy side, or if you'd honestly rather talk about a favourite novel than make small talk. Books are the icebreaker, and everyone moves at their own pace, with time for each conversation to unfold.
The evening also has room to breathe. We start at 19:00 and the programme runs to around 21:30, and these evenings tend to drift happily onward: people stay, keep talking over a glass of wine, and it easily rolls on towards 22:00. Stay as long as the conversation does. Maybe it's the beginning of something lovely.
Hosted by the queer team behind Metis, in our multilingual bookshop-café on Gleimstraße in Prenzlauer Berg. Expect a fully queer atmosphere, queer books and queer conversation starters throughout. The evening runs in English and German, so you can choose whichever feels most like home.
Come for the books, stay for the people.
