Proudly announcing another new and exciting way to date in Canada's capital; we introduce you to our Ottawa slow dating events! Bringing together 24 plus singles, we offer you a truly unique experience like no other out there and promise you will never find another dating event quite like this!

Prepare yourself for an amazing gay slow dating experience with other 24 plus singles.

E xpand your friendships among singles or even find a new significant other!

We invite Gay Men from Ottawa, across Canada, and elsewhere to come to Ottawa to attend our event.

So…how does slow dating work?

Here’s the run down of our slow dating events: Purchase a ticket and you’ll receive a confirmation email from our team once it has been processed. Keep an eye out on your inbox! On the day of the slow dating event, prepare your best outfit and talking points (remember, first impressions are key). Be prepared to arrive at the venue 15 minutes before the slow dating event begins.

Feel free to take the first few minutes of the event to sit back, relax, and mingle with the other guests.

Your ticket includes a cup of coffee or tea.

Once everyone is in attendance and settled in, we'll introduce everyone to each other.

You'll find out who you have things in common with aside from a love of great coffee.

No need for those artificial icebreakers!

It's time to roll up your sleeves and get ready to connect with each other!

Our Gay Male slow dating events provides an alternative to artificial speed dating.

After the event is complete, you can ask our host to help you meet someone there you might have been too shy to connect with during our slow dating event.

Remember to take time at the start of the event to remember the name of the people who you connected with during our slow dating event.

Why choose an in-person slow dating?

Well, for starters, we our organizer has over 15 years of experience organizing events and secondly, our slow dating events are the most affordable in Ottawa.

Slow dating is more than just cycling through people with bland, forced conversation.

In-person slow dating is about taking your time to get to know each other!

Our events are structured to give attendees an opportunity to meet people and have fun doing it. By the end of the event, you may even walk away having learned more about yourself!

What we are about

At Gay Male slow dating, inclusivity is important to us and we make it our mission to ensure every event is a safe space for all. Our team strives to make each and every slow dating event just as special as the next.

We embrace diversity. Everyone is welcome to mix and mingle!

*Must be 18 years of age or older to purchase a ticket.

***Please note - we have a strict zero tolerance policy against poor etiquette of any kind, including leaving the event at any point once it’s started. By purchasing a ticket, you are committing to staying for the entire duration of the slow event.
