About us

Hey there! If you're a local single who's genuinely looking for a meaningful connection, you're absolutely welcome here. We're all about creating a warm, inclusive space for like minded folks who are done with endless swiping and ready to meet someone special in real life. Whether you're new to the area or just haven't found your tribe yet, if you're open hearted and ready for something real, Thornshade Singles Nook is the place for you.

We love celebrating the little wins that lead to big things. When someone finds a great match, shares a first date story, or even just steps out of their comfort zone to attend an event, we cheer each other on. It might be a round of applause at our next gathering or a shout out in our group chat either way, every milestone is honored because we're all rooting for each other's happiness.

Most of our meetups happen on weekend evenings, usually Saturday around 6 PM, because we know life gets busy during the week. These times give everyone a chance to unwind and show up with good energy. The events change up every time think cozy wine tastings, scenic hikes, game nights, or small group dinners so there's always something fun on the calendar.

If you're tired of surface level connections and ready to meet people who are just as serious about love as you are, this is your sign to join. Thornshade Singles Nook isn't just another singles group it's a community built on respect, authenticity, and real conversation. Come as you are, and let's create something meaningful together.
