Date on Purpose: The Intentional Dating Experience (Ages 50–65+)

If you’ve been dating lately and wondering, “Is it just me… or did we collectively forget how to actually act like grown adults?” — you’re not alone.

Date on Purpose (50–65+) is a curated, intentional IRL dating experience for singles who value real conversation, mutual effort, and genuine connection — without apps, games, or awkward 2-minute speed dating.

Dating in your 50s and 60s isn’t casual — it’s selective.

You’ve lived a full life. You’ve likely loved deeply, lost something or someone, and rebuilt. You’re not interested in performing for strangers or entertaining a confused adult “for the plot.”

You may be happily independent… and still want someone to do life with.

But you’re not willing to give up what you’ve worked hard for: your peace, freedom, routines, home, and self-respect. You want companionship — without losing yourself.

And if the apps have felt like three photos, one vague bio, and a conversation that disappears into silence… this is your alternative.

What “curated” means (and why it matters)

This isn’t a random mixer where anyone can wander in.

Every attendee is registered, personally reviewed, and approved by yours truly before attending — not to be exclusive, but to protect the vibe and keep the room respectful, intentional, and genuinely safe to connect in.

What that means for you:

• A thoughtfully selected group here for real connection

• Limited tickets so it stays comfortable and conversation-friendly

• A balanced mix of people (including gender balance where possible)

• A guided, free-flow format with prompts available throughout the night

• Clear expectations: kindness, effort, and consideration are the baseline

Here's what to expect:

A low pressure, thoughtfully guided evening designed to help conversation flow and connection unfold naturally.

You’ll experience:

• A warm and welcoming environment that sets the tone (so you’re not walking in cold).

• Recieve a little gift bag from me for attending and a little something to help you during the night.

• Group-style conversation moments that help people relax and break the ice without pressure

• Plenty of space for natural mingling — so you can gravitate toward the people you genuinely want to talk to

• Guided themed prompts that spark conversations that actually go somewhere because we're done asking... “so what do you do?”

• A room of intentional humans there for the same reason you are — connection, with effort, kindness, and curiosity

This event is for you if…

✅ You’re 50–65+ and you want to date with intention (instead of what you've been doing)
✅ You’re ready to show up, be present, and have real conversations — without pressure to perform
✅ You want to build companionship or a committed partnership — not “we’ll see” energy
✅ You value — and practice — kindness, effort, and clear communication
✅ You’re open to love and you want something that adds to your life, not drains it
