Are you sick of swiping? Yeah, we are too. Left swipe, right swipe, left again. Looking for a date (or something more) can be a drag. After all, apps can’t really predict chemistry. But, meeting in real time, that’s when the sparks fly.
So maybe it’s time to stop swiping. There’s a new dating mixer in the ‘hood and no swiping is required. After a successful first go-round in January, IRL Match is hosting another event for singles who have grown weary of dating apps. The event is not like speed dating, but more like a fun happy hour where everyone just happens to be single. Cool, no? So, saunter your fine self over to local DIY art space Big Irv’s (381 Hooper Street) Thursday, June 14th for a real time meet-cute.
What should you do? Don your favorite outfit and get ready to meet some new people. (Hint: we think you should bring a friend).
