About Authentic Connection Speed Dating (Ages 40+)
Authentic human connection is what many people crave these days. And while you may think that dating is one good place to experience it... it's not that simple either.
The rise of dating apps has made dating feel transactional. More and more people see dates as something akin to a job interview. You say your pitch, I say my pitch. Based on that, we evaluate how good of a match we are.
Unfortunately, those types of dates often end with two dissatisfied people going back home... on their own.
If you want to try something new and learn how to create authentic connection while dating - read on!
THIS IS (PROBABLY) FOR YOU, IF...
- You feel time pressure to find a partner as “you’re not getting any younger”
- You’re tired of dating apps - or just don’t want to use them
- You’ve had so many unsuccesful dates you secretly suspect there’s something wrong with you
- You find it hard to relax on your first date
- You’re not interested in small talk and playing "hard to get"
- You'd like to be able dive into “real talk” fast, without it feeling awkward.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
In the Authentic Connection Speed Dating, you’ll be in a safe, structured, well-held space. This is to empower you and others to put your guards down and show more parts of you than you normally would.
It can allow you to experience the depth of connection that most people get to only after several dates. You won't be wasting time on small talk.
The structure of the evening will help you reveal yourself - and, see a real human in front of you. Even if you don’t end up going on a date with them afterwards, you’ll become much better at connecting to people in general. In other words, this event helps you build communication skills that you can use on any occasion.
THAT'S BECAUSE, DURING THIS CONNECTION-GENERATING EVENT, YOU WILL...
- Be empowered to break through awkwardness and establish a sense of safety within yourself
- Get a chance to meet 7–10 people in a guided experience
- Have some time to reflect on your interactions and what they taught you with a “buddy” (a person you haven’t met as a date)
- Have an easy way to share (or not) your contact details with the people you choose
SOME PRACTICALITIES:
Time: 17th April 2024, 6–9pm

I assume your dating interest in the gender other to yours. If I find there is demand for a queer dating event, I intend to organize that in the future.
A sweet vegan & gluten-free treat will be included :)
HOW MONEY WORKS:
Ticket price is £33 per person. This covers the Eventbrite fee, paying for room hire, fee for two facilitators, as well as some snacks.
Requests for refunds will be considered on an individual basis. Due to upfront cost, unfortunately I can’t guarantee refunds.
You will be able to transfer your ticket to someone of the same gender.
