**🫶 Live Date Rounds on Zoom for South Dublin Locals** On the night, you'll go through focused short video rounds with South Dublin locals paired by quiz results and age range, as a welcoming host takes care of everything. Right after registering, you answer a few quick personality questions — that data drives the matching to give you a personally matched South Dublin lineup, so each round starts with genuine compatibility in mind. Once the rounds end, match results are sent privately — with no one-sided reach-outs ever happening — and you take over from there entirely. **Register by age group:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=South%20Dublin&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=South%20Dublin&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=South%20Dublin&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=South%20Dublin&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=55+&face_v=3.0) **⚠️ Spot not held yet:** Meetup rsvp alone does not register you for the event, so click your age group link, complete the form, and take the short personality questionnaire — the cap is reached quickly so register without delay, and only a completed registration locks in your seat. --- **Best suited to:** - Someone within South Dublin who have had enough of unread messages and dead-end conversations and value real conversation over curated profiles. - Women and men from around South Dublin bored of matches that fade out before meeting and want actual face-to-face conversation. - Anyone at all throughout South Dublin getting away from profiles that never convert to actual dates and are looking for real connection. **What to expect** 1. **Pick your age group** – using the link that matches your age bracket, then complete the personality assessment, since this combination is what actually registers you. 2. **Connect on Zoom** – by clicking into the session at the scheduled start, laptop phone or tablet — your choice, all work fine, and a live host guides every step from there. 3. **Meet your matches** – quick back-to-back rounds with South Dublin locals in your age bracket, with round management all on the host, given that the matching was done before the evening started. 4. **Get your mutual matches** – mutual matches are shared post-event with your info staying private otherwise, with the system keeping all non-mutual selections entirely private, and everything from that point is on your schedule. ⭐ *"The host made everything comfortable — real conversations with real people"* – a South Dublin attendee 💡 **Top tip:** log into Zoom five minutes early, and it sets you up for a better evening overall, as the host manages the rest and all you need is working tech. --- ✨ Done with digital connections that lead nowhere — pick your age group and sign up and you are completely set tonight. Your next chapter might start tonight. ❤️‍🔥 ✨

**💞 Zoom-Hosted Speed Dating for Belfast Singles Mutual Matches After** You get to work through quick timed video chats with people from Belfast sorted by age and compatibility, while the host manages transitions so you can focus on the person in front of you. Before the event, you answer a few quick personality questions — those answers are used to line up well-matched Belfast people for your rounds, ensuring your matches are intentional and not random. Once the rounds are done, mutual connections are confirmed and shared — contact details flow only on mutual selection — and everything that follows is on your schedule. **Register via your age group:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Belfast&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Belfast&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Belfast&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Belfast&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=55+&face_v=3.0) **⚠️ Please note:** Clicking rsvp is only the first step not the whole process, so click your age group link, complete the form, and take the short personality questionnaire — limited capacity means you should not wait, and the quiz plus registration together hold your place. --- **At a Glance** - **Format:** Real-time via Zoom with host-managed video rounds throughout, age-grouped and personality-curated from the start. - **Where:** No travel required — from whatever device you have handy, a connected device with a camera is everything you need, and at home or wherever you are most relaxed is fine. - **Host:** A welcoming host manages all transitions so you can focus on conversations, giving the whole session a relaxed and easy feel — the format, timing, and transitions are all in their hands. - **Vibe:** Low-pressure Zoom date rounds with locals from Belfast who skipped the apps, and the conversation always feels more real than an app date. - **Duration:** Usually sixty to ninety minutes from round one onwards, and most people wish it were longer. **Made for:** - Anyone around Belfast who are tired of profiles that never convert to actual dates and want to talk to real people tonight. - Someone near Belfast leaving behind conversations that fizzle before a first date and want actual face-to-face conversation. - People in the Belfast area ready to move past digital dating that never converts to anything real and are ready for something that feels natural. - Those around Belfast who no longer want apps that waste evenings for no return and want actual face-to-face conversation. **The process** 1. **Register** – through the link corresponding to your age range, then submit the quick matching questionnaire, because this step is your confirmation not the RSVP. 2. **Join the session** – by clicking the Zoom link at the event start time, zero setup is required — just open the link, and a live host guides every step from there. 3. **Get into the rounds** – short one-on-one rounds with Belfast singles sorted to your age and personality, as the host signals round starts and ends, because every conversation has been set up to feel natural. 4. **Check your results** – mutual connections are confirmed and sent after the session, so your info only reaches someone who also chose you, and then the rest is yours to decide entirely. 💡 **Top tip:** find a quiet well-lit spot beforehand, so you can be fully present from round one, as it is worth doing before you need it not during. --- ✨ Done with digital connections that lead nowhere — secure your place via the link above and we will handle the rest for this one. The evening starts the moment you register. 🕊️ ✨

The topic for May is "Ink" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
