Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 7:00 PM EDTVIP 30s & 40s Speed Dating
HANDCRAFT KITCHEN AND COCKTAILS, New York, NY
$35.00
*TO ATTEND GET TICKETS - https://dljparty.ticketleap.com/30s--40s-speed-dating22/dates/
(*Ignore any references if you RSVP and it says you can pay organizer directly. This is a Meetup glitch they hopefully fix. This is a prepay event and only way to attend is to get ticket in advance at link above).

**Our events are co-organized by multiple groups so don't pay attention to the RSVPs. These events are consistently well attended. Members get tickets and don't RSVP.

This in-person event is tailored for singles professionals 30s/40s looking to connect with like-minded individuals in a relaxed setting.

Here’s what to expect:
Efficiency Meets Romance: We’ve ditched the old-school pamphlets and pencils. Instead, we’re powering matches with our partner, SpeedMatchApp. No app downloads required—just a simple link click!
Brace yourselves for a whirlwind of up to (15) 3-5 minute speed dates with fellow single professionals aged 30s/40s. Remember, our hosts are like human Cupids—working overtime to sprinkle romance and awkward laughter into your evening.
Pre-Event Prep: Before the big day, you'll receive an email prompting you to create a matching profile on SpeedMatchApp (takes 2 minutes). Think of it as your digital wingman/woman, making life easier for you!
Charged Up: Charge that cell phone, my friend! At the event, your phone becomes your secret weapon. As you “date,” you’ll use it to select your matches in real time.
Match Magic: Feeling a connection? Fantastic! You’ve got options baby! Select “friend,” or “date." or "none." And guess what? If the feeling’s mutual, the universe (well, our servers) will work their magic. By the time you get home from the event, you’ll receive a text with all your sizzling matches.

Each dater must make at least one food or drink purchase to support our host venue.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make new connections & potentially find your perfect match!

FAQs:
How many will attend? We get a good mix of singles in their 30s & 40s and do our best to keep the genders as even as possible.

Can I come alone? Yes, about 90% come on their own.

How much? $35-$40 depending upon when you get ticket and spots left

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE EVENT:

"That was an absolute blast! By the end of the event I had already made some new friends. The games were so clever and fun" - Laura D.

"It was the best time I've had in a long time. The host did a fantastic job" - David M.

After the event, we'll leave the event open for about 15 minutes so you can exchange contact information with anyone else from the event. This is a great opportunity to make new friends. Typically about 65% of the attendees are singles so it's even a chance to possibly meet that special someone!

FAQ:

If I have friends or family members that don't live with me, can they be put on a team with me? Yes! We'd say about 75% of participants sign up on their own but if you have any friends or family members that want to join, they can too (simply message the host at the beginning of the event and ask to be placed on the same team as them). Each player needs to buy their own ticket. If you have a family member/s that is same household as you, they are welcome to sit next to you and you can play along with you but each device needs to purchase their own ticket.

If I attended a past event with you, can I sign up for this one? Yes, In fact we never use repeat questions and we always change up the games so feel free to sign up with as many of our upcoming events as you'd like!

How do I join the event? After you sign up on to Eventbrite we will send you a link with an invitation to join the event. We'll send you that link by the day of the event. If for some reason you don't see an email from us by the event date, make sure to check your spam folder in case it ended up there by accident.

What is the age range? All ages (Over 18) are welcome. We usually have a good mix of ages.

How many will be participating? We expect between 15 and 30 people.

Come on out and check out this unique twist on speed dating. Join us for a unique social event for singles in NYC! Come on out and make new social connections, win raffle prizes and meet other fun singles.
Our friendly host will welcome everyone and then you'll be grouped off into separate tables where you'll get to meet, chat with and play fun social games with other singles in small groups of about 5-7 people. Then, similar to traditional speed dating, you'll rotate from table to table getting a chance to meet all the other singles in attendance. You'll be handed a "match sheet" and at the end of the event you'll be able to indicate people you'd like to talk to again in the future. If they also choose you, our host will send you each others' contact information within about 48 hours after the event and you can feel free to set up a date with them.
