Just a bar, everyone single — with matching powered by Matchbox — and a night that’s all about meeting IRL.Hello handsome queer single women of Manchester! 💘✨
This Valentine’s season, whether you love the day or roll your eyes at it, we’re turning it into something actually worth celebrating.
We’re taking over Little Orange Door for a night of great drinks, good vibes, and discovering who your most compatible match in the room might be.
❤️🔥 MATCHING POWERED BY MATCHBOX
Matching will be powered by Matchbox. It’s a software that uses relationship science to find you your most compatible match at the party. The algorithm has matched more than half a million people to date, across 40 countries.
The algorithm optimises for long-term compatibility, based on values—but it’s up to you to see if you click.
🧠 HOW IT WORKS
1. Upon arrival, you’ll take a short matching questionnaire built by Matchbox’s research team and curated by your host.
2. The Matchbox algorithm uses relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning behavioural economics to identify your optimal match in the room.
3. After mingling with the whole group, a series of clues brings you closer.
4. Matches are revealed later in the night.
👀 WHAT TO EXPECT
- You’ll meet a great group of singles.
- Your match is designed to be values-aligned, not love-at-first-sight.
- There’s zero pressure — be curious, have fun, and be kind.
- If there is an imbalance, you may receive a platonic match.
