Gen X Speed Dating

Ditch the dating apps and join us for a night of fun, laughter, and new connections. Meet up to 12 other Gen X singles in one evening through 3-5 minute "speed" dates. Gen Xers are known for their independence, resourcefulness, and self-reliance—traits honed from growing up in an era of latchkey kids and DIY attitudes.

We mastered the art of balancing work and life long before it was a trend.
Remember the days of memorizing phone numbers, organizing massive CD collections in binders, and living life before the Internet, cellphones, and TikTok? We came home when the street lights went on, riding in cars without seat belts and cruising on bikes without helmets were the norm. We cherished creating the perfect mix tape and enjoyed the simplicity of face-to-face connections.

This event is all about connecting with like-minded individuals who "get it" because they lived it. Relive the simpler days when face-to-face connections were the norm and fun was all about being in the moment.

Event Highlights:

• Meet up to 12 other Gen X singles in 3-5 minute "speed" dates
• Enjoy a night filled with fun, laughter, and new connections
• Stay for a rad 80s/90s Dance Party happening from 8pm to 12am

Please note: Each dater must make at least one food or drink purchase to support our host venue.

Efficiency Meets Romance: We've ditched the old-school pamphlets and pencils. Instead, we're using our partner, SpeedMatchApp, to power matches. No app downloads required—just click a simple link!

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: Make sure your cell phone is charged! 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! Select “friend,” “date," or "none." If the feeling’s mutual, 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 unforgettable night of nostalgia and new connections!
