How our local events work.
Every event follows the same simple, proven format, wherever you join us. You’ll arrive at a hand-picked bar or lounge and enjoy 10 to 15 mini-dates of about five minutes each, with a break in between to grab a drink and mingle. There’s no pressure and nothing to prepare — just show up and be yourself. Afterward, log in to pick the people you’d like to see again, and when the interest is mutual we share your contact details. It’s the fastest, most natural way to meet local singles who are genuinely looking for a connection, right in your own corner of the Garden State. Most guests are surprised how quickly the evening flies by — and how many people they meet in a single night compared to weeks on a dating app.
