Brace yourselves for a whirlwind of up to (15) 3-5 minute speed dates with other single gay men ages 25+. Remember, our hosts are like human Cupids—working overtime to sprinkle romance and awkward laughter into your evening.
Pre-Event Prep: Before the big day, you'll receive an email prompting you to create a matching profile on SpeedMatchApp (takes 2 minutes). Think of it as your digital wingman/woman, making life easier for you!
Charged Up: Charge that cell phone, my friend! At the event, your phone becomes your secret weapon. As you “date,” you’ll use it to select your matches in real time.
Match Magic: Feeling a connection? Fantastic! You’ve got options baby! Select “friend,” or “date." or "none." And guess what? If the feeling’s mutual, the universe (well, our servers) will work their magic. By the time you get home from the event, you’ll receive a text with all your sizzling matches.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make new connections & potentially find your perfect match!
