About us
So first off, this isn't a networking group for swapping business cards or climbing the career ladder we're all about personal connections here. Thunder Ember Singles Community is focused on helping locals find meaningful, serious relationships through real, face to face time together. That said, if you end up becoming best friends with someone and they happen to introduce you to your dream job, hey, we won't complain. But our main goal is romance, not resumes.
No special skills, experience, or levels of dating expertise are expected just show up as you are. Whether you're newly single, returning to the scene after a long break, or even a little nervous about putting yourself out there, you're welcome here. We believe everyone deserves a shot at love, and you don't need to be polished or perfect to find it. Just bring your sincerity and an open heart.
We're intentionally building a culture of warmth, respect, and authenticity. Think low pressure, no games, and zero tolerance for drama. Our events are designed so you can actually talk, laugh, and get to know people beyond surface level small talk. We value kindness, active listening, and showing up with good intentions because real relationships start with real moments.
Most events have between 12 and 20 people, which gives everyone a chance to connect without feeling lost in a crowd. It's small enough to feel comfortable but diverse enough that you'll meet someone who truly clicks with you. We keep group sizes intentional so conversations can flow naturally and connections have room to grow.
If you're tired of swiping, sick of shallow dates, and ready to meet people who are actually looking for something real, this is your community. Thunder Ember is more than just events it's where genuine connections begin. Come join us, open up, and see where a simple conversation might lead. You never know, your next great love story could start with one night out.
