About this Event

JUST MEET Just Lunch
For singles who prefer presence over small talk.


JUST MEET Just Lunch is for singles who enjoy conversation that has time to breathe.

Lunch naturally creates a slower pace. People arrive, sit down, order, and stay present. There is no rush to move on, no pressure to impress quickly, and no sense of being pulled in different directions.

It is a setting that encourages people to relax into conversation and actually get to know one another.



Why Singles Choose Just Lunch

Some conversations need time.

Just Lunch attracts singles who prefer to stay in one place and let discussion unfold naturally. It suits people who value listening as much as speaking, and who enjoy conversations that go beyond surface level.

Instead of quick exchanges, lunch allows conversations to develop naturally. You are not resetting every few minutes. You are building rapport in real time.



Why Just Lunch Works So Well

Lunch creates a grounded, unhurried environment.

Sitting down to share a meal brings a sense of presence and focus. Phones tend to stay away. Attention stays at the table. Conversation flows at its own pace without interruption.

This makes Just Lunch ideal for singles who want meaningful interaction without the energy of night-time events.



What to Expect on the Day

• Around 6 to 8 singles in total

• A seated lunch setting at a local venue

• Longer, uninterrupted conversation

There is no host running the session and no activities to follow.

Everyone arrives, takes a seat, orders lunch, and settles into conversation together. The structure is simple and supportive without directing how people interact.



Who This Is For

Just Meet Just Lunch is ideal for singles who:

• Prefer daytime settings

• Enjoy longer conversations

• Value presence and attentiveness

• Are comfortable staying engaged

• Want connection without performance or pressure



Who This Is Not For

This is NOT:

• Speed dating

• A rotating format

• A social mixer

• A hosted experience

• A drop-in lunch

The group size and setting are intentionally chosen to support focus and uninterrupted conversation.



Practical Details

• Price: $20 per session

• Food or drinks are purchased individually at the venue

• This is a paid session to ensure commitment



Important Booking Information

• Bookings close at 12:00 pm, 48 hours before your Just Meet

• No last minute bookings are accepted

This allows us to finalise group numbers, confirm seating with the venue, and ensure a smooth experience for everyone attending.



Attendance Policy

Because Just Meet is intentionally small, each booking matters.

• No shows or same day cancellations result in loss of eligibility to book future Just Meet sessions

This policy helps protect the quality of each Just Meet, ensures a fair experience for everyone involved, and supports the venue by making sure reserved seats are used rather than left unused.



Important Note

Just Meet works best for people who enjoy conversation and are comfortable meeting new faces in a small group.

This helps keep the atmosphere right for everyone attending.



The Just Meet Experience

Just Meet Just Lunch is a way for singles to slow down, stay present, and connect through real conversation.

Just lunch.

Just conversation.

Just Meet.
