The B-Side and ‘Love Letters’ present: Matchmaker — Summer Lovin’

The B-Side and The Boston Globe’s “Love Letters” team are joining forces once again for a summer matchmaking event that’s equal parts science experiment and rom-com plot line. We’ll handpick 35 pairs of singles (ages 24–35) and match them through a very official, extremely serious questionnaire (read: Google form). The grand prize? A blind date chosen specifically for you.

Meredith Goldstein, “Love Letters” columnist and professional confidante, will guide the new potential pairs through the evening with a little help from Cupid and those famous “36 Questions to Fall in Love,” and we’re introducing an extra special game show segment with fun prizes.

We’ll wrap the night with a singles mixer, where everyone can mingle, flirt or gently retreat toward the snacks ... whether you’re looking for love, chaos or just a good story to tell on Monday, we’ve got you.

Who is this event for?

• You are aged 24-35.
• You are comfortable being matched with one person for a guided solo date (this is not speed dating).
• You identify as a man and are interested in dating women.
• You identify as a woman and are interested in dating men.
• Gender-nonconforming individuals who still feel connected to one of the genders above in some way are welcome.

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

Stand-in Tickets

We are offering a small batch of “Stand-in tickets” for free. If you sign-up for a Stand-in ticket, you agree to arrive before 6:30 p.m., check in and wait until we assign matches to their tables. If you are assigned to a table, that means you get to participate in the event for free! If you are not assigned to a table, it means we were not able to fit you in and you will be free to head home or you can hang out for the singles mixer after the event.
