**\*\*\*TO ATTEND THE EVENT, YOU MUST PURCHASE TICKETS THROUGH OUR WEBSITE \*\*\***
[https://www.pre-dating.com/baltimore-speed-dating/?utm_source=Meetup&utm_medium=event_listing&utm_campaign=Meetup](https://www.pre-dating.com/baltimore-speed-dating/?utm_source=Meetup&utm_medium=event_listing&utm_campaign=Meetup)
Hosted by Pre-Dating Speed Dating, the experts, bringing people together since 2001!
Our events have been featured on CNN, CBS, Axios, Miami New Times, TLC's 90 Day Fiance - The Single Life, Tampa Bay Times, Southbend Times, Citylink Magazine, Essence, The Wall Street Journal, Best of Baltimore, AM New York, Chicago Tribune, WINK FM, Woman's World Magazine, and 100s more -- but come see for yourself!
Join us for a night of fun, flirtation, and possible romance at our singles speed dating event! If you're tired of swiping left and right on dating apps, speed dating is a great way to meet new people in person, in a relaxed, safe, and comfortable environment.
**HOW IT WORKS:**
We'll introduce you to at least 5, and up to 12 - or more - single women or men. Spend a little time with each one, during a series of 6-minute Pre-Dates. Then tell us who you'd like to speak with again & we'll do the rest! It's the modern, civilized, effective, and fun way to meet other professional-level singles. If you're finished with the games and ineffectiveness of online dating and apps, join us to share a wonderful evening of enjoyable conversation with interesting people... and maybe something magical will happen!
**GET TICKETS:**
A **Meetup RSVP is not a ticket**, you must purchase on our website.
[https://www.pre-dating.com/baltimore-speed-dating/?utm_source=Meetup&utm_medium=event_listing&utm_campaign=Meetup](https://www.pre-dating.com/baltimore-speed-dating/?utm_source=Meetup&utm_medium=event_listing&utm_campaign=Meetup)
Use Code MATCH5 for $5 off!
**DOES IT WORK?**
Yes! According to the New York Times, at a speed dating event, people like 2-3 out of 10 people they meet. Online daters only match with 1 in 100 or fewer of the profiles they study. This is the best way to meet new people, and it works! Just ask the thousands of people that have met at our events and had successful relationships and marriages.
**WHAT DOES IT COST?**
We put a lot of time and effort into creating the best singles events possible, so we collect a fee for our hard work. Our events are an excellent value at about $3 per introduction. Get your ticket for the best singles event in town.
**NOTE FOR NEWCOMERS:**
We post our events on various platforms. Our events often sell out, so expect plenty of fellow singles, regardless of the numbers you see here :)
So what are you waiting for?
Join us for some fun conversation with great new people... and maybe something more!
Who will you meet?

Galentine’s Day Happy Hour
Join us for Galentines Day/ pre Lunar New Year get together at one of DCs hottest new restaurants!
We’ll be convening in their bar area known as the ‘lucky bar’ (just look for Chrystalle). And they’re extending their happy hour for our group until 8pm. AND the first dozen attendees will get a special Lunar New Year treat. 😏
They boast an elevated Chinese American menu, the only public Mahjong bar in DC, and have recently been receiving some well deserved flowers from publications like EaterDC & The Washingtonian. Their beer menu may be smaller, but it is *nothing* to sneeze at either (thoughtfully curated by our friend Alyssa).
Closest metro stop is Archives- Navy Memorial, just a block away.
We really hope you can join us for this one because it’s gonna be a good one! 🍻
Hope to see ya!

**CAN BEGINNERS ATTEND THIS HIKE:** Yes, we welcome beginners to attend this hike but please note, there will be some challenging sections throughout the hike but nothing to strenuous.

**WHAT TYPE OF HIKE IS THIS:** This is a loop trail hike and will start and end at the same location
**WHAT SHOULD I WEAR:** A good rule of thumb is to dress comfortably and in layers. Dressing in layers will allow you to stay warm when your cold and as you warm up, you can take off layers and not over heat. It's going to be cool to cold so we strongly suggest warm clothing, moisture wicking under garments, a hat, sturdy hiking boots or trail sneakers (your choice), wool socks, a small day back, trekking poles (optional) and plenty of water.
**ARE PETS ALLOWED:** NO

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die @ Regal Silver Spring - 3:20pm show
Let's see Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, the latest Sam Rockwell flick. Will it be any good? Who knows, but it's Sam Rockwell. Perhaps he'll dance.
Also, upon further investigation, I found out it's Gore Verbinski-directed. He directed The Ring and the original Pirates trilogy (albeit 20 years ago) so it could be a fun ride.
We'll be at the Regal in Silver Spring. Your host will be in seat D6.

Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: Love and Monsters
[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“Love and Monsters,”** on the inescapable bond between romance and horror, with Joshua Barton, scholar of horror and lecturer in English at Virginia Commonwealth University.
[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/profsandpints/nv-love-monsters](https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/profsandpints/nv-love-monsters) .]
Romance and horror might seem like opposite genres, but they share a deep emotional core, and the combination of them has captivated audiences across time and culture.
Put even your worst Valentine’s Day in perspective by hearing this strange relationship discussed by Joshua Barton, who has earned a big following among Profs and Pints fans with his past talks on cryptids, American horror, and Christmas ghosts.
He’ll explore the undeniable and unsettling intersection of romance and horror and examine how and why love and fear intensify each other and combined to create tension, drive narratives, and explore human vulnerability.
We’ll look at works that have blended passion and terror, including Gothic literature like the vampire novella *Carmilla* and modern films like *Spring* and *Crimson Peak*. We’ll study the fine line between obsession and adoration running through Stephen King’s “I Know What You Need,” Adrian Lyne’s *Fatal Attraction*, and the timeless *The Phantom of the Opera.* We’ll discuss the seeds of monstrous love that were planted with *Beauty and the Beast* and *Creature from the Black Lagoon* and bloom ferociously in works like *Twilight* and *The Shape of Water*. Through it all, we’ll find the threads of otherness and the taboo that intertwine horror, love, and reflections on identity.
Join us for a journey through storytelling that combines the grotesque and the scintillating as we uncover why romance and horror are a match made in the dark. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later.)

❤️ A Chill Valentine’s Day event for Divorced / Separated (Location: Ashburn)
**A relaxed, good-vibe Valentine’s Day afternoon for adults who don’t want the pressure, awkwardness, or heaviness today.**
Not a dating event. Not a support group.
Just a warm room, good people, and simple **conversation games that make it easy to meet others who are also starting fresh.**
If Valentine’s Day feels weird, quiet, or emotionally loaded this year, spend it in a space where you can actually laugh, feel lighter, and connect with grounded adults who get it.
***
**🔍 What You’ll Experience**
• Simple partner rotations (guided and easy)
• Light, feel-good Valentine’s prompts
**• Fun conversation games (not cheesy, not romantic)**
• A mix of divorced and separated adults in similar life chapters
• A comfortable, pressure-free room
• Good energy without oversharing or awkward silence
**Everything is structured. You show up — the flow does the rest.**
***
**💼 Who It’s For**
• Divorced adults
• Separated adults
• People navigating midlife transitions
• Anyone starting fresh and not wanting to spend Feb 14 alone
Most attendees are in their **late 30s to mid 50s** — grounded, normal people who want something better to do today than sit at home replaying the past.
This is a chance to be around others in similar seasons without labels, pressure, or expectations.
***
**✅ Location, Cost & Time**
📍 **Rented facility:** **Ashburn (zip 20147)** — exact address shared after RSVP
🕒 **2:00 PM – 4:00 PM**
💵 **$15 per person —** feel free to bring a guest (just have them RSVP separately).
☕ **Coffee + light snacks provided**
***
**🎯 The Vibe**
Think: **calm, warm, easy, friendly, real.**
Not romantic. Not forced. Just a space where people talk, laugh, and feel human again on a day that can feel heavy.
**And if a natural connection happens — great.**
If not, you still walk away lighter than you came.
**✅ Space is limited to keep the room comfortable and conversational.** RSVP if you’d like to join this small-group Valentine’s gathering.
