Sharing Something Sweet – A Compliment-Fueled Singles Mixer

Looking for connection that’s more than just small talk and swipes? Join us for “Sharing Something Sweet”—a laid-back, feel-good event designed to spark genuine moments between Richmond singles through the power of compliments (and a little sugar).

💌 How it works:
When you arrive, you’ll receive 5 compliment cards—your mission is to give them out over the course of the night. If someone makes you smile, holds great conversation, or gives off a vibe you’re into, hand them a card with a short note about what stood out. Sweet, sincere, or a little flirty—it’s up to you.

There’s no pressure to find "the one"—maybe you'll meet someone who makes your heart skip a beat, or maybe you'll leave with a few new friends. Either way, everyone deserves a little kindness.

🌈 All identities welcome:
This event is open to both straight and LGBTQ+ participants. We'll provide preference identifiers so you can let others know who you're interested in connecting with, whether it's romantically or platonically.

👫 What to expect:

• An open-format mixer with a casual, welcoming vibe
• A delicious selection of ice cream and sweet treats (optional add-on)
• A judgment-free space where everyone is encouraged to connect
• No guaranteed gender or orientation balance—just great people and good vibes
• Encouragement to give compliments even if someone isn’t your “type”—because kindness never misses

Bring your open heart, sweet words, and maybe a little courage—you never know where one compliment might lead. 💕
