About this event
The Different Dating Company Presents: Let's Get Acquainted!
After the resounding success of our first event on 10th April we are delighted to announce the next 'Let's Get Acquainted' on 12th June. We’ve tweaked the format slightly to encourage more age-specific mingling, while still keeping the broad age range for now.
This event is for singles 35+ (no upper limit!) who are looking for a fresh approach to meeting fellow singles. Get ready for more interaction, less awkwardness, and a fun, engaging night. You'll receive teaser information about fellow attendees beforehand, making it easier to strike up conversations. We'll also provide 'Conversation Lubrication' to fuel interesting discussions with other attendees in your age range. And we'll mix things up throughout the evening, with original, light-hearted activities (no awkward bells!) designed to spark connections.
Our events aren’t just about finding romance — many attendees make new friends too. We aim to build a community of like-minded singles.
What Makes Our Event Different?
- Teaser Questions: After booking, you'll have the chance to answer three teaser questions*. We'll share these responses with other attendees before the event, creating intrigue and natural conversation starters. Arrive ready to connect with those who caught your eye!
- 50:50 Ratio: We strive for a balanced 50:50 gender ratio to maximize your chances of meeting someone special. To maintain this balance, tickets are non-refundable**, so please book with commitment!
- Fun Ways to Mix: We'll have light-hearted activities that make it easy to connect in a natural and effortless way.
This event is designed for heterosexual single men and women aged 35+ who are ready to meet in real life and open to dating differently. If this event isn’t the right fit for you, we’re also hosting a separate, differently formatted event on 21st May that’s open to all ages and orientations. You can find the details here: https://fatso.ma/1zih.
