**🌻 One-on-One Gay Speed Dating Online connecting Washington DC Gay People** Throughout the event, you'll have back-to-back focused short video rounds with Washington DC gay people compatibility-matched and age-grouped, while the host manages transitions so you can focus on the person in front of you. When you sign up, a short matching quiz is included in the process — those details are used to connect you with Washington DC gay singles who fit your profile, so the format works harder than any dating app. Post-event, match results are sent privately — with no one-sided reach-outs ever happening — and the next move is yours to make at your leisure. **Choose your age group to get started:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=507.0&productType=onlineSpeedDatingGay&city=Washington%20DC&groupurlname=open-minds-inclusive-gay-social-circle&ar=18-32&face_v=2.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=507.0&productType=onlineSpeedDatingGay&city=Washington%20DC&groupurlname=open-minds-inclusive-gay-social-circle&ar=30-46&face_v=2.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=507.0&productType=onlineSpeedDatingGay&city=Washington%20DC&groupurlname=open-minds-inclusive-gay-social-circle&ar=40-58&face_v=2.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=507.0&productType=onlineSpeedDatingGay&city=Washington%20DC&groupurlname=open-minds-inclusive-gay-social-circle&ar=55+&face_v=2.0) **⚠️ Heads up:** Rsvping on meetup does not confirm your spot at the event, so register through your age group link above and complete the personality quiz — spots run out faster than you would expect so register now, and that combination is your actual confirmation. --- **The Essentials** - **Format:** Fully hosted on Zoom with personality-matched gay video rounds, compatibility-matched within your age range. - **Where:** Entirely virtual — on any device with a camera, all you need is Wi-Fi and a webcam, and at home or wherever you are most relaxed is fine. - **Host:** A friendly host manages all transitions so you can focus on conversations, which means nothing technical or logistical is on your plate — everything from round one to the final match is handled. - **Vibe:** Comfortable Zoom date rounds with Washington DC gay locals who value a real first impression, and you leave with more energy than you arrived with. - **Duration:** Around 60 to 90 minutes from beginning to end, and the format keeps things moving. **This is for you if:** - Gay residents near Washington DC who have given up on shallow connections that never lead anywhere and want to talk to real gay people tonight. - Members of the community living in Washington DC who no longer want shallow connections that never lead anywhere and need a better way to meet gay people locally. - Queer people who live in Washington DC ready to move past matches that fade before you ever actually meet and are serious about meeting someone. - Queer people locally in Washington DC finished with app conversations that never convert to real dates and prefer structure over ambiguity. - Gay daters near Washington DC who are tired of profiles instead of real people and are ready for a genuine first impression. **Step by step** 1. **Get started** – via the link for your age group above, then submit the quick matching questionnaire, as without this your RSVP holds nothing. 2. **Launch Zoom** – at the event start time via your Zoom link, works on any modern device with a camera, and the host takes over from that moment forward. 3. **Have your dates** – short timed video rounds with Washington DC gay singles matched to your personality and age, while the host controls the pace so you can relax, knowing that each gay local was matched to you by age and personality. 4. **Check your results** – we send match results after — mutual picks only, as your data only goes to someone who matched you back, and the next step is entirely in your hands. --- ✨ Real conversations from home — claim your place above and everything from there is on us this time.

Let's recognize the 82th anniversary of the WWII D-Day landings at Normandy (France). Hosted by the **Alexandria-Caen (France) Sister City Committee**, this ceremony and commemoration event takes place on John Carlyle Square in Old Town. There will be re-enactors, historical displays, a 1940's jazz band and swing dancing, the US Army Fife and Drum Corps and more. I was stationed in Paris for 25 months and attended the 20th Anniversary of the Liberation of Paris, 24 August 1964. I was in a photograph on the front page of the NY Herald Tribune along with 400,000 other people crammed onto the Place de la Concorde. **WOW!** D-Day, June 6, 1944, marked the largest amphibious invasion in military history and the beginning of the Allied liberation of Nazi-occupied France. Known as Operation Neptune, the assault was the opening phase of Operation Overlord, the broader campaign to liberate Northwest Europe. Under the command of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, more than 156,000 Allied troops from the United States, Great Britain, and Canada landed along the Normandy coast across five beaches: Utah and Omaha (U.S.), Gold and Sword (British), and Juno (Canadian). Despite fierce German resistance, particularly at Omaha Beach, where some of the most intense fighting occurred, the Allies secured a foothold in Normandy by nightfall. The cost was heavy, with more than 4,500 Allied troops killed on the first day, including 2,499 Americans. Their sacrifice paved the way for the capture of Cherbourg, the battle for Caen, and the decisive Falaise Pocket in August 1944 which shattered German forces in France. Less than a year later, Nazi Germany surrendered on May 8, 1945. Though “D-Day” is a general military term for the launch of an operation, its scale and significance have made June 6, 1944, forever synonymous with courage, sacrifice, and a decisive turning point in World War II in Europe. Did you know? Most every French village in western France has a street named after its **DAY**! rue du 15 juin 1944; avenue du 5 juillet 1944; boulevard du 10 août 1944...the **DAY** of its liberation from German occupiers, as Allied forces swept through. A trip to Normandie is a required addition to everyone's bucket list. I'm a regular visiteur. Meet in front of Panera Bread, 350 Dulany Street, Alexandraia, VA 22314 We'll have an early diner together afterward at The Executive Diner, 1400 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA 22314.
