Toronto Jewish Singles Mixer (age 25-45)
**NOTE:** This is a ticketed event.
**Tickets here:** https://15firstdates.ca/event/ffa005fd-32cf-4e68-a466-a9d5cd84c96e
Calling Jewish singles in Toronto! Skip the awkward small talk of dating apps and meet real, like-minded singles in person — at a curated venue, with no timers, no rotations, and no pressure.
How it works:
\- Reserve your spot
\- Show up at the venue and check in
\- Go into the event\, and you will see a big list of people
\- Mingle at your own pace\. Grab a drink\, work the room\, bring a wing\-person if you'd like \(friend\-friendly\!\)\.
\- Discreetly click on the profile of each person you meet and give me a Like or a Pass
Mutual matches are revealed at noon the day after the event, and you can message right inside the app.
Why our mixers are different:
\- No missed connections\. Forgot to ask for their number? If you both swiped right\, you'll match anyway\.
\- 100% private swipes\. Only mutual matches are revealed
— pass on anyone, no awkwardness.
\- Real chemistry\, real venues\. Hand\-picked bars and lounges\, not a hotel ballroom\.
\- Friend\-friendly\. Bring a single friend — many of our best matches start with a "wing\-person" intro\.
Tickets are limited and prices may go up closer to the day. Grab yours today!
\*Tickets are final sale. Please double-check the date and city before checking out. By attending, you agree to our standard event terms.

Fast Friending: Meaningful Connections! (21-40/Happy Hours/Bring a lady free)
As adults, our routines get full, circles get smaller, and meaningful connections don’t just happen by chance!
That’s why our Fast Friending evenings in Toronto are created with intention — to give you a comfortable, welcoming space to meet like-minded ladies & gents who are also looking for genuine friendships. If you’ve been wanting deeper connections but didn’t know where to begin, this is your place to start.
**Book tickets now & save money -**
[https://toro30thmay.eventbrite.co.uk](https://toro30thmay.eventbrite.co.uk)
\*You can use any debit or credit card to purchase your ticket at PayPal checkout. It will ask you for your email address but that is only to send you a receipt. You do not need a PayPal account.
EVENT COST:
Early Bird - CAD$ 10 per person
Regular Ticket - CAD$ 15 per person
Cash at meetup - If you have not purchased your ticket in advance then you can pay CAD$ 20 cash when you meet Kruttika at the venue.
**Our venue for the evening** \- We have a reserved area where our members can meet each other in a supportive environment\.
**Here’s how your evening will flow:**
**7:00 PM – Welcome**
Arrive at 7:00 PM and be welcomed by your host, Kruttika , who will guide the evening and help with introductions. Feeling shy? Come a little early and she’ll ease you into small-group conversations. You’re also welcome to bring a lady friend along for free.
**7:30 – 8:30 PM \| Fast Friending**
Chat with a new attendee every 3 minutes, ensuring you meet a variety of like-minded ladies and gentlemen.
**After 8:30 PM \| Open Mingling**
Reconnect with those you enjoyed speaking to and continue meaningful conversations at your own pace
\- We are not a close knit tight group\. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone\. You will not feel alone\!
\- We have many groups in this city\. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people\.
\- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 21 to 40 age group\. While some will be at the younger end of this range there will also be others at the other end of the range and lots in\-between\! You will naturally gel with others of your own age range and so you will always find many attendees who fit your range\.
\- We are not a 'dating' group\. We are focused on helping ladies and gents meet other like minded ladies and gents\. You will generally find a good gender balance \(maybe not perfect\) at all our events\.
**Why do we have tickets?**
1. Cover our costs - Our host is compensated for their time and work. We also pay meetup and have dedicated staff to manage our events, hosts, venues and communication.
2. Group Safety - By securing your ticket we have a record and you contribute to a well organized evening where everyone is more committed and better behaved.
3. Management - Tickets help us better manage attendee group size, book suitable space and activity.

Vaughan Bowling Speed Dating (Age 35-45)
**NOTE:** This is a ticketed event.
**Tickets here:** https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vaughan-bowling-speed-dating-age-35-45-tickets-1988356562002?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true
Come meet other singles on short dates while bowling! This will be a night to remember!
Are you single and looking for a fun and unique way to meet people? We got you covered!
Join us for a fun and social evening of speed dating and bowling!
You'll go on several short dates with other singles in your age range over 2 hours of bowling.
Please arrive at 7pm to check in and get settled in. We will assign you a lane to start. The women will stay in their spots, and the men will rotate every 20 minutes to the next lane.
**VERY IMPORTANT:** Please arrive at 7pm to check in and mingle. Bowling will begin at 8pm sharp. **If you arrive after 8pm, you will not be able to participate and no refund will be issued.**
How speed dating works is that you will meet members of the opposite sex for quick 5 minute dates, and then you will give them a yes or a no. They will then do the same thing for you. If there is a mutual match, contact information will be exchanged the next day.
**IMPORTANT:** Please sign up for a profile at www.15firstdates.ca before the event, as we will be using our web application to run the event.
We will give you all needed materials, and explain the process to you once everyone has arrived. Your ticket includes speed dating and 2 hours of bowling. No shoe rental is needed.
**This event is for people aged 35-45.**

Telugu Community First Meet Up
The wait is finally over!
It's time to have our first ever Telugu Meetup and we can't wait to see you all at Amsterdam BewHouse to have an amazing time together!
We thought it would be ideal to have a catchup in the downtown as our first meetup as this would allow everyone to socialise, network and get to know one another.
Get to the venue between 6:30 and 7 PM. The evening will start off with a bit of an intro to each other. Most importantly, we would like to hear your ideas on the type of activities and events you'd like us to organise and the locations that may suit all of us.
We can hang around and then head out for dinner if time permits.
Please note that there is no entry fee for this event. Its just PYO (pay your own).
Please do RSVP as that would help us make the bookings.
Please feel free to message us if you have any questions.
Let the fun begin!
Cheers

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
