Ever had the thought that a friend of yours would really benefit from a proper introduction? ✨
This meetup is built around exactly that. Friends are invited to introduce someone they care about to the room — sharing a few thoughtful details about who they are, what they enjoy, and the kind of connection they’re open to. It’s simple, respectful, and intentionally low-pressure.
No swiping 📵. No forced mingling. Just real people being introduced in a more human way 🤍.

💡 How It Works
🎤 Pitching a Friend • Pitches are submitted in advance through a Google Form (link below 📝). • A friend is encouraged to present the pitch, with the host available to assist as needed. • If preferred, the host can present the pitch entirely, or co-present with the friend. This is meant to keep things comfortable and moving at an easy pace.
⸻
📂 Pitch Format
Pitches may be shared as: • A short slideshow • A 1–3 page PDF • A video collage 🎥
Suggested content includes: • Personality and general vibe ✨ • Interests and hobbies 🌍 • What they value in connection 🤝 • What kind of connection they’re open to 💫 • Photos or light, tasteful humor if helpful 🙂
⸻
⏱️ Timing • Each pitch is 3–5 minutes • The host will help manage timing so the evening flows smoothly and everyone is included
⸻
🥂 After the Pitches: Social Mixer
Once the pitches wrap up, we’ll roll right into a relaxed social mixer.
This is time to: • Continue conversations sparked by the pitches 💬 • Meet people you didn’t already know 👋 • Follow up organically, without pressure 🌱
The mixer is casual, open, and designed to let connections develop naturally.
⸻
📝 Submitting a Pitch
The Google Form will ask you to: • Upload your slideshow, PDF, or video • Confirm the person being introduced is aware and comfortable ✅ • Share basic details (age range, location, what they’re open to) • Provide a short summary the host can reference if needed
Submissions may be lightly adjusted for clarity or timing.
⸻
💬 Expressing Interest
After a pitch: • Those who feel a connection may: • Briefly share a comment or question, or • Speak with the host privately 🤍
Follow-ups and introductions will take place off-stage, and can continue naturally during the mixer.
⸻
✅ A Few Guidelines • Keep things kind and considerate • No roasting or uncomfortable stories 🚫 • Everyone introduced must be single and open to meeting new people • The tone is relaxed, thoughtful, and respectful throughout ✨
⸻
🎯 Why This Format Works • Friends often describe us better than profiles do • Introductions feel more natural than cold approaches • Conversation starts with context, not guesswork
You’re welcome to pitch someone, attend and observe, or simply see how the evening unfolds.
