The 36 Questions Experiment – Singles (Melbourne) *bookings essential*
What happens when two strangers sit down and ask each other the right questions?
Most people come for the experience.
Some leave with something unexpected.
Join us for a relaxed, thoughtfully designed evening for **singles** who want to meet new people beyond the usual small talk.
.
**✨ What to expect:**
* A welcoming, low-pressure atmosphere
* Light mingling and easy icebreakers

Unlike traditional speed dating, this isn’t about quick rotations.
It’s about giving a conversation the space to unfold naturally.
You’re free to choose your own partner (or join a small group), or opt for a curated match if you’d prefer a more intentional starting point.

BeSocial. Boardgames and Meet!
Join us for a relaxed boardgames day designed to help you meet new people in a fun, low-pressure way.
We’ll play easy, social boardgames that make conversation feel natural — no awkward networking, no pressure, just a casual night of games, laughs, and meeting new people.

A casual boardgames session, friendly conversations, and the chance to meet new people through BeSocial.

Find Your Personality Match - Make Friends (Age group: 25-45))
🌟 **A new one-on-one, personality-based connection experience**
Many of you have been asking about structured events and if I’d ever bring them back.
Well… here it is - a new version, more intentional, and built around something I care about : **matching people based on personality.**
Over the years, I’ve seen how hard it can be to find people you truly click with as adults. Small talk goes nowhere, and most events don’t give you the space for real conversation.
💫 **What to Expect**
This is not speed dating, and it’s not a big mixer.
It’s a curated, one-on-one connection experience where you’ll meet a few people who’ve been matched to you based on personality and vibe.
Expect:
* A cosy, comfortable venue
* A hosted structure so you’re never left awkwardly standing around
* A series of guided one-on-one conversations
* A relaxed atmosphere where you can genuinely be yourself
* This is not dating focused event, there will be a seperate one for dating
Each conversation is designed to feel natural — because the match is based on compatibility
Get your tickets here - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1990218681652?aff=oddtdtcreator
🧭 **Before the Event**
Once you get your Eventbrite ticket, you’ll receive a **short personality test (If you have already taken the test at a previous event you don't need to do it again)**.
It takes only a few minutes but helps us understand your communication style, energy, and compatibility factors.
This is how we curate meaningful one-on-one pairings for the event.
🌿 **Come Join Us**
If you’re tired of small talk and ready to meet people who truly fit your personality, this is for you.
A warm, intentional space created for deeper conversations and genuine chemistry - whether it becomes friendship, something romantic, or just a surprisingly great chat.
RSVP now — spots are kept limited to ensure quality one-on-one time.
One Day Rising Socials
**Announcing our next Sunday afternoon social event!**
We are heading back to the cosy and welcoming Bar Nearby in Box Hill. We love this venue for its friendly team and relaxed vibe *(but don't worry, if you enjoyed the Kilburn last month, we plan on heading back there in July!)*
These socials are growing with new friendly faces every month. It is so much fun to host these events and watch ***incredible women from across Melbourne coming together to share food, stories, laughter and also the occasional tear.***
So, if you are in search of fun, connection and lots of relaxed chats with amazing women you've just met, we'd love you to join us! There's no agenda or pressure to impress, ***just come as you are***.
*Drinks optional, fun guaranteed!*
**What to bring:** Food to share. Yep, that's right! You can BYO food but don't feel you have to!
***RSVP: Please let us know if you're coming by 16th June, and we will save you a seat!***
These events happen once a month, alternating between Sunday afternoons and Friday nights, and will be held in different venues across Melbourne. If we don't connect this month, hopefully we'll see you soon!
As always, if you have any questions or want to discover more about who we are, I'm here for it all!
