Spicy Speed Dating for Queer Femmes & Thems, Ages 35+

Looking to make new connections while exploring different perspectives on identity, relationships, sexuality, and pleasure?

If you're a femme, non-binary, trans person and age 35 +, this event is for you!

Come together for a night of meeting new people, making friends, and maybe even finding a spicy spark or two (or three).

The Details:

This unique speed dating event is consent-based, full of laughter, and features sexuality-related questions from Come Again?! - a new conversational card game designed to spark meaningful connections while having lots of fun. You’ll rotate through different connections and cards, with plenty of breaks and surprise activities sprinkled in! Our intention is to center folks who identify as hers or thems and are looking to date or befriend others of similar identities & orientations.

Just looking for friends? We still want you to come!

This event is not just for dating. You’ll be able to indicate what you’re looking for (friendships, dating, etc.) and everyone will be given guidelines for respecting boundaries.

No matter what you’re into, our goal is for you to feel safe and respected, and to have fun!
