**Cost**: $0 Lucky you. It's an experiment so I'm looking for beta testers 😀 Pizza and Drinks are on you.
**Numbers**: 12 people, maybe more, depends on flaky people and no shows of course
**Menu: [https://www.topolinos.com.au/](https://www.topolinos.com.au/)**
💫 **The** **Vibe**
Think of this as a lightly flirty, gently mischievous IRL dating night — the kind where the pizza is hot, the banter is warm, and the chemistry is… well, that’s up to you.
**Note**: This will be a light curated event, I won't pre organise anything so it will be a highly organic adventure, Expect some minor chaos. If Topolinos is busy we'll try another venue. Topolinos has a max of 12 people anyway without paying a ridiculous booking fee. But damn it's bloody good pizza. But if enough people are interested I'm sure we can sneakily get in a larger group if we split ourselves up and accidentally coalesce lol.
I prefer doing things this way anyway and leaving some things to chance....serendipity is my middle name of course!
**#####** **Just so you know**
=================
Saying that I do have some basic rules to govern how this event operates, Curated chaos anyone???.
**Note:** This event is waitlisted to allow an even mix of genders, there is a creep code and rules especially around no shows. Read on for how this works. Decisions are made at the discretion of the organiser.
We’re taking over Topolino’s Pizza on Fitzroy Street, St Kilda’s iconic pre‑nightlife launchpad, for a cosy two‑hour dinner with 12 singles who know how to talk, laugh, and maybe flirt over a slice.
Singles only.
No married people.
New couples allowed only if they still have that “are we… something?” energy.
🍕 6pm–8pm — Topolino’s Pizza Social
A relaxed, social dinner with 12 self hand‑picked singles
Flirty but friendly, cheeky but respectful
Perfect for people who prefer IRL slow‑dating over app fatigue
Expect conversation that flows easier than the house red
Dress warm — it’s winter, but the vibe won’t be
Waitlist is active to keep gender proportions balanced.
Regulars get preference (you know who you are).
Organiser discretion applies — always.
**🙀🌙 8pm onwards —Choose** **Your** **Own** **St Kilda** **Adventure**
For those who want to keep the night rolling, we’ll drift down Fitzroy Street like a charmingly disorganised flotilla of hopeful romantics.
Possible ports of call:
**The** **Espy** — iconic, loud, social, perfect for “accidental” shoulder brushes
**The** **Vineyard** — mellow, intimate, ideal for deeper chats
**Dogs** **Bar** — artsy, dimly lit, excellent for eye contact
**Prince** **Bandroom** — for the brave, the nostalgic, and the 90s‑alt tragics (cover charge applies)
Stay for one drink, stay for five, or stay until someone suggests karaoke — the night is yours.
💘 **Flirtation** **Guidelines**
This is a social event, not a pressure cooker.Don’t be pushy about phone numbers — let the moment offer itself
If the vibe is mutual, go for it
Become a regular — I’ll be testing this format over 3–4 events
You’ll likely see the same lovely humans again at future singles nights/events or Eat Drink Dance “open” events
The goal is to build a small, recurring ecosystem where people feel comfortable, familiar, and relaxed enough to be themselves.
**👥Waitlist & Gender Ratios**
To keep things balanced and comfortable:
Event capped at max 12 people to test interest unless I decide to be sneaky,
Generally guys admitted only after a woman registers (to maintain ratios) at my discretion until the format matures. If you become a regular I'm not so discriminating as long as you behave yourself.
Women can be a little flaky (we love them anyway), so I may accept 1–2 extra
**🧭The Creep Code**
**A** refined social compass keeps the vibe safe, fun, and drama‑free.
So: No married individuals or those already coupled up (generally)
No Tinder Swindler‑style minglers
**Guys**: **Please** **Take** **Special** **Note**
Must have a clear face photo (no sunglasses, no blurry shadows, no “mysterious man in witness protection”)
No wide shots taken from a distance where you can't be identified.
No yacht/car/jet flexing — if your profile screams “crypto‑adjacent”, you will be gently declined. If you are declined, update your profile photo to something less creepy and more classy.
**Girls**: No restrictions — privacy and safety first”
⚠️ **SMALL EVENT EXPECTATIONS ⚠️**
**👻** **No**‑**Shows**
No‑shows block waitlisted people from attending and disrupt small-group events.
Remove yourself at least 24 hours before the event.
No‑shows will likely be removed and blocked from the group.
Last‑minute cancellations (“flaking”) may also result in group removal, especially when there is a waitlist.
👀 **Attending** **Without** **Being** **on** **the** **Going** **List**
This is a security issue.
**Do** **NOT** **turn** **up** **unannounced**.
If you’re not on the Going list and haven’t arranged it with the organiser beforehand, you will be asked to leave. Event check‑ins are performed.
**🌱Why** **This** **Event** **Exists**
A few people have asked me to run something for singles, and Meetup is already full of solo attendees. Dating apps feel like a minefield, and IRL conversations tend to be and are rare and sometimes awkward. So this is an experiment — a soft‑launch into a more human, more organic way of meeting people for singles..
