About us
Dating Roster : Singles Events in the Finger Lakes & Southern Tier
Tired of swiping? So are we.
Dating Roster brings singles together in real life through curated, low-pressure events designed to help you actually meet people โ not just match with them. Whether you're a longtime member of our roster or this is your first time hearing about us, you're welcome here.
What we do:
We host themed mixers, outings, and social nights across the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier region โ places where you can show up, be yourself, and meet other singles in a relaxed, no-awkward-silences kind of way. Think creative themes, genuine conversation starters, and a vibe that feels more like hanging out with friends than a forced "singles event."
Who it's for:
Singles in the Corning, Elmira, Ithaca, and surrounding areas who want to meet people the old-fashioned way: in person, over shared activities, with a little help breaking the ice.
What to expect:
Fun, themed events
A welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere
A mix of returning members and new faces every time
Genuine opportunities to connect; no scripts, no pressure
New here? Join the group and RSVP to an upcoming event and we'll take care of the rest.
Already on the roster? Bring a friend! Our best events grow through word of mouth.
Come meet your next favorite person.
