About This Event


Hear from real attendees in on our webpage!



Want to get off your dating apps and meet someone in real life, but where you don't have to find out that every cute person at the party is unavailable? Do you think that IRL speed dating is generally awkward and weird? So do we. That's
why we're putting a Skip the Small Talk twist on dating.


Skip the Small Talks are usually **NOT** for dating, but so many of y'all asked us for a dating event that we decided to make an exception!



We'll be offering "big talk" conversation prompts to get you started, and we'll have lots of structure to make sure that you actually talk to people and that it's not awkward. Not feeling like answering a particular question? No
worries, we'll have plenty to choose from, like, "When are you the happiest?" and, "If you were going to become close friends with me, what would I need to know about you?" We'll give you ground rules to make sure you feel comfortable
and safe sharing as much of yourself as possible while still feeling in complete control of how much you share.


Food and drinks will be available for sale! Check out the menu here!



Check-in for this event will begin around 6:45 PM Please do your best to arrive before 7:00 PM so we can begin as close to on time as possible.
Please note that there is an arrival cutoff, meaning that
if you are not in line to check in before 7:10 PM, unfortunately, you will not be able to participate and we will not be able to offer refunds.



Skip the Small Talk is dedicated to providing an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone. Check out our safety policy here:

- You either feel a connection to the identity of “man” and you are interested in dating women, or you feel a connection to the identity of “woman” and you are interested in dating men. Gender nonconforming folks who feel

are a better fit. We do our best to accommodate as many different demographics as possible given limited capacity for our speed-dating events, and we are always working to include more! Any suggestions for how we can be more inclusive?
Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].


This event is trans-inclusive. We do not tolerate transphobia at this or any of our events.



We can only accommodate a limited number of guests at this event, so please plan to grab a ticket as soon as you think you'd like to join us.
