How it works
Get to know the real person
Discover local singles through pre-event video introductions, if you’re up for it. They’re optional, and help you get a feel for someone’s personality before meeting face to face.
Find your kind of event
Choose a social event that suits your vibe. Come along, relax and enjoy meeting people without the pressure of a traditional date.
Let the magic happen
Share a laugh, strike up a conversation and see where things go. The best connections happen when you’re there in person.
Video introductions
Say hello before you meet. Short, private video introductions let members share who they are beyond a one-line bio. Approved videos are only visible to signed-in members.
Video Ready
A free, practical course to help you feel comfortable and natural on camera before you record your introduction.
