### Looking for something more real than dating apps? Meet someone you actually click with. No apps. No Swiping! NOTE: THIS IS A TICKETED EVENT. LINK TO BUY BELOW 👇 . RSVP ON MEETUP DOESN’T GUARANTEE YOUR SPOT. This is a curated, in-person dating experience for singles who want **genuine connection**, not endless swiping or forced small talk. You’ll meet a small number of people through **intentional, personality-based matching**, so the conversations feel natural and the chemistry has room to build. This is not speed dating. This is not a loud mixer. Unlike speed dating, this experience isn’t about racing through conversations or meeting as many people as possible. It’s about meeting the *right* people, with enough time and structure for genuine connection to unfold. ### **How it works** 1. **Before the event** You’ll complete a short personality quiz (5–7 minutes). 2. **At the event** You’ll have a series of guided one-on-one conversations with thoughtfully matched men/women in a comfortable, hosted setting. 3. **After the event** You’ll privately submit your matches. Mutual matches receive each other’s contact details so you can take it forward naturally. **Spots are limited** to keep matches intentional.

**We’re back! 🚀** If you’re reading this, chances are you’re not just after small talk and swipes. We’re not products on a dating app. There are no algorithms here, just proper hellos and a bit of good old-fashioned eye contact. After some remodification, Slow Dating 2.0 is back after several requests! Thank you for your patience and support. It means a lot to us! 💞 If you never heard of us, no worries! We welcome new people and souls! 🐢 ### **💫 Who is this event for?** This session is thoughtfully curated for **singles aged 43–59**. We believe romance doesn’t belong to one age group — it evolves. With experience comes confidence, depth, emotional intelligence, and a clearer sense of what truly matters. This is dating for people who know themselves, value meaningful conversation, and are ready for connection that feels grounded and real. **GET YOUR TICKET HERE** 👉👉 👉\*\*[YOUR TICKET](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/prepare-for-valentine-slow-dating-age-43-59-collingwood-sunday-registration-1980803426370?aff=oddtdtcreator)\*\* 👈👈👈 ### **Venue Partner: Paradise Alley** We’re taking over one of Melbourne’s most **romantically lit and character-filled bars**. Think: * Warm, low lighting * Intimate lounge seating and cosy corners * A relaxed, slightly sexy atmosphere where conversations linger * Even a pool table in the background — casual, playful, unpretentious Paradise Alley feels like the kind of place where time slows down, guards come down, and genuine connection feels natural — not forced. Perfect for a Slow Dating experience. ### **So how does it work?** At slow dating events, you will have **more time AND multiple chances** to build some more connections with the ones you are interested in. **🍹 You can claim your welcome drink when you arrive.** **🗣 One-on-one rotations** to spark conversations with your handpicked matches. 🎴 **Conversation cards are provided if you need.** **🤙Private matching system**—no awkward rejections on the spot :) You will be notified of your matches afterwards. ### **💞 What we focus on at Slow Dating** 👥 **Intimate experiences** — limited numbers, because quality matters more than quantity 🎟️ **Unrushed dating** — the pace is slow, but tickets tend to go fast 💬 **Real conversations** — no pressure, no performance, just presence If you’re ready to step away from the apps and into something more human, this might just be your kind of afternoon.

### Let's join the [Victoria's Pride Street Part](https://www.midsumma.org.au/whats-on/events/victoria-s-pride-street-party/) during the summary.

If you’d enjoy a relaxed Sunday afternoon wandering through beautiful spaces, sharing thoughtful conversation, and ending the day over a lovely dinner — you’re warmly invited to join us. This is a women-only gathering designed to make connection feel **easy, unforced, and nourishing**, with art, movement, and shared experience doing the heavy lifting. ### Meet time & place **4:00pm – Meet inside the NGV, Great Hall** Please enter the **NGV (180 St Kilda Road, Melbourne)** and walk through **Federation Court**. We’ll meet in the **Great Hall**. (This meeting spot is easy to find once inside — see map/photo in the event images.) ### Gallery wander + conversation **4:00pm – 5:00pm** We’ll spend the afternoon **wandering a limited area of the NGV together**, moving at an easy pace and allowing conversations to unfold naturally as we explore. This is a relaxed, unstructured wander — there’s no rush and no expectation to see everything. The gallery provides a beautiful backdrop for: * Gentle conversation * Reflections sparked by art and design * Easy connections without small talk pressure As with other **Good Conversations Club** events, you’re welcome to arrive exactly as you are. I’ll have **conversation prompts available** that you’re welcome to use if you’d like — or not at all. They’re simply there to support ease, connection, and meaningful conversation if you want them. ### Walk to dinner The NGV closes at **5:00pm**, so we’ll meet out front, then take a **short walk (approx. 10 minutes)** together towards Flinders Street Station. ### Dinner **5:30pm – 7:00pm** **Chocolate Buddha** (very close to Flinders Street Station) Dinner is a chance to sit, slow down, and continue conversations over (shared?) food. You’re welcome to join for the gallery wander only, or both — dinner is optional but encouraged. ### Who this event is for This is a **women-only** event for those who are: * Young at heart and open-minded * Interested in art, culture, and meaningful conversation * Comfortable in mixed-age groups * Looking for connection without pressure or performance There’s no strict age range — you’ll likely meet women across different life stages who value presence, curiosity, and good conversation. (In general, ages of people attending our events have been around 25-50 years) ### Important notes * Entry to the NGV is free * Dinner is pay-your-own * Please arrive on time so we can begin together * Comfortable shoes recommended for walking This event is about **shared experience first**, followed by **nourishing conversation** — in beautiful surroundings, with ease.
