Meet IRL | Bookstore Speed Dating | Queer Women Ages 28+

Meeting new people can be hard - join us for curated speed dating where we match you with the most compatible people in the room!
About this Event

Calling all book lovers! Looking to meet someone great in person? Our curated speed dating events bring together compatible singles in a fun, low-pressure setting designed to spark real connections.

This specific event is for our community of single sapphics & lesbians, and queer women & non-binary folx! We welcome you to self-identify - if this sounds like the space for you, please come join us! Check out our other upcoming events if this one isn't for you!

How it works:

• Purchase your ticket based on your age and gender—you'll tell us who you're hoping to meet later, including the age range you prefer to date within.
• After checkout, check your confirmation email for a link to set up your profile in our Meet IRL app.
• In the app, you'll answer a few quick questions to help us match you with the most compatible people in the room!

What to expect:

• We’re a small, local queer-owned business and care deeply about creating high-quality, welcoming events. We’ll be there throughout the night to facilitate, answer questions, and make sure you have a great experience.
• Arrive between 6:30–6:45pm to check in, grab a drink, and mingle.
• Speed dating rounds start promptly at 6:45pm. The timing of this event is important, so please arrive no later than 6:45pm.

• You’ll rotate through 8+ one-on-one “mini dates” at different tables. Think of each round as a vibe check—short, intentional conversations with optional prompts to keep things flowing.
• We’ll wrap up the structured rounds around 8:30pm, but we encourage you to stick around, grab a drink, and continue your conversations at the bar!
• After the event, you’ll be connected with mutual matches so you can continue to build on the initial spark!

Access Notes

• Our event space at Passages is on the ground floor and fully accessible.

• This event involves frequent moving between tables and standing for periods of time; if this is difficult for any reason, just let us know ahead of the event and we’ll make a plan.
• For any other accessibility needs, please reach out to us at [email protected] before the event—we’ll do our best to accommodate.
