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.
Delicious alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for sale! Please note there is a 1 drink minimum for this event, and you can check out the drink menu . There will not be food for purchase during our event, but please feel free to bring outside food to the venue if you'd like - or arrive a bit early to grab a sandwich from Club Club! (Club Club close around 8pm.)
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:
