Love Is Blind Speed Dating Event-As Seen On Netflix!

Fri, Jun 12, 10:30 PM

From Totally Fun Things To Do In NYC

4.6

Get tickets at: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/673108474567](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/673108474567) NYC Speed Dating - Singles 20s & 30s --- LADIES TICKET COMES WITH A FREE DRINK! Come experience this new & unique twist on speed dating! You've heard of the TV show "Love Is Blind" and now you'll get a chance to experience it in person! Here is how it will works: Ladies will first have female friend connect time, playing complimentary pool and/or ping pong (or just hanging out and chatting) while sipping complimentary cocktails in a private area separated from the gentleman. Gentleman will have new friends connect time in a private area as well! Speed dating will then begin! The men will be blind folded the entire speed dating, while the ladies will rotate for each round. For ladies and men, there will be special optional questions to ask to heighten the experience but it is not mandatory! We carefully set up the process so that neither the men nor women will be able to see each other will have to make selections based on personality! ***"I wasn’t sure what to expect, but not seeing the person first really helped me focus on what matters—our connection. It was refreshing!"*** ***— Alex R., Event Attendee*** THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 15 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP REFLECTS ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF ATTENDEES. *WHY IT WORKS:* ***\*\* 82%*** *of participants in a study on blind dating said they felt more "genuine" and "authentic" when they couldn't judge their partner's appearance (Source: Psychology Today).* *\*\* Studies have shown that people who initially meet without seeing each other are **more likely to find deeper emotional connections** and establish **long-lasting relationships** (Source: Journal of Social and Personal Relationships).* *\*\* A report from The University of California, Berkeley, found that **satisfaction in relationships tends to be more stable when based on personality compatibility** rather than initlal appearance.* After the speed dating, the genders will be separated once more while the matches are selected and then handed in! There will be a complimentary after party in which everyone can mix and mingle over complimentary pool, ping pong, giant jenga and other cool games, For every drink purchased, your next will be half off the entire evening! Your matches will be emailed to you the morning with the option to leave your contact number in addition to email. ***\*\* YOU CAN SEE MORE NYC SPEED DATING EVENTS AT: [http://www.FriendzyEvents.com](http://www.friendzyevents.com/) \*\**** *QUICK NOTE: You won't be able to sign up at the event. You have to get tickets here in advance. Price goes up as event time approaches and this event usually sells out very quickly so get your tickets ASAP.* At this event you will be going on a series of 10 to 15 mini dates with each date lasting about 5 minutes each. Women stay seated and the men rotate from table to table until they meet each woman. You will get a match card and at the end of each mini-date you'll indicate whether or not you'd like to see the person again. At the end of the evening you will hand your match card in to the event host. If you both select each other, we will send you each others' email address the next day so you can set up a future date! Within less than 12 hours of the event, you'll receive an email with the first name and email of your mutual matches. We do not give out names or contact info unless there is a mutual match. Our Speed Dating events tend to attract quality, single professionals who are done with the dating games and ready to meet that special someone. Most people know within a few minutes if they would like to see someone again. FAQ: CAN I COME ALONE? Yes, about 85% come on their own. WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE? While we don't have a strict dress code we ask that you please look neat/presentable. What you wear to work is likely fine. CAN I PAY AT THE EVENT DOOR? We do no accept payment at the event door.

Kick off Spring by joining fun and friendly singles for a sunset stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge. Our "Date Walks" are very casual and non-awkward way to meet others. Your host will be there to make introductions and will have everyone rotate, asking the men and women to switch so everyone gets a chance to talk with everyone. We will first meet at a Starbucks where you can grab a drink for your walk. Then we'll walk a 1.5-2 mile stretch to the Brooklyn Bridge Park to NYC. We will also hang afterwards in a nearby area. FAQs: **How many will attend?** We limit the # of attendees to 30 so that everyone has enough time to get to know each other. **What are the ages?** We'll have a good mix of ages and everyone usually finds others in their age group. **What if rains?** We will email attendees a new date. **Can I come alone?** Yes, about 90% come on their own. **How much?** $15-$25 depending upon when you get ticket and # of spots left.

I do not facilitate individual introductions or manage interactions. Guests are expected to initiate and navigate conversations on their own. **What to expect for $49.00 USD per person** • Do 5 Practice Dates below. • Each round has a structured theme to support connection (e.g. curiosity, values, attraction, emotional safety). **Safety Disclaimer** All events take place in **public spaces** such as cafés, food courts, malls, and other well-trafficked locations to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone **The 7 Practice Dates** **•** Do You See Me - 1 • Open Mind x Heart - 2 • Accept Us Across All Parallel Universe - 3 • I Want It That Way (Trigger Happy) - 4 • Extreme Love and Desire - 5 **Date 1** – Be a mysterious, emotionally available human. Focus on presence, curiosity, and connection. Let people experience who you are beyond labels (yes, even your job title). Avoid status-driven questions like “What do you do?” or “Where do you live?” — relax, LinkedIn can wait. **Date 2** – Become LinkedIn in human form. Perform status. Interrogate value. Rank and categorize. What do your parents do? What do *you* do for work? Do you own or rent—or are you “figuring it out”? Assess them like an asset, a résumé, a potential merger. Are they a smart investment… or a liability? Play royalty seeking alliance—calculate, compare, judge. Be polished. Be strategic. Be just a little unbearable. **Warning:** Do *not* ask or reveal exact income—we are not filing taxes together (yet). You *may* talk about household financial responsibilities (how you manage expenses, split costs, or approach money in daily life). Notice how ridiculous this feels. **Date 3** – Plot twist: you’re both just humans. Be honest about your experience so far. Take off the entitlement mask (alpha/tough or beta/nice—yes, both are costumes). Show vulnerability, sincerity, and authenticity. Remember: you are equals—no thrones, no rankings. Talk about your deepest fears (fun!) regarding this connection, your future, or your goals. Reflect on your love patterns—your “type,” your habits, your emotional chaos. **Date 4** – Release your inner gremlin (lovingly). Express your shadow self fully—or just be completely yourself, unfiltered, while doing the light dating challenge. Say the thing. (Maybe not *every* thought… but close.) Create space to talk things through and actually resolve something like adults. Ask: • How have I frustrated you? • How have I annoyed you? Practice patience when navigating conflict (yes, even when you’re right… or think you are). **Date 5** – Final boss level. Experience separation… or oneness. Do you choose the path of love… or the path of fear? No pressure. Just your entire relational pattern on the line. **Reflection Questions After Each Date** **After Date 1** Do you feel strong enough chemistry to be curious and interested in getting to know your match more? **After Date 2** Do you feel a strong enough connection to look beyond their façade? **After Date 3** Do you feel more love than friendship and feel ready to look into your own wounds and release triggers? **After Date 4** Do you feel ready to continue releasing and relieving wounds so you can receive love and see love more clearly? **After Date 5** Do you feel in love with your match, and able to give love, grow, and be the best version of yourself together? **Path A: Experience-Focused / Live-in-the-Moment** For singles who prefer to follow a natural flow and enjoy connection as it unfolds — with ease, fun, and presence. No pressure to go deep. Come as you are, enjoy the energy, and follow what feels good to you. You prioritize: • Comfort • Authentic vibes (not the same as "being authentic") • Living in the moment • Letting things unfold organically **Path B: Growth-Oriented / Intention-Driven** For singles who enjoy exploring deeper emotional connection, vulnerability, and conscious love. These challenges allow one to learn love, see love, and to give and receive love. You value: • Personal growth/ Being authentic • Emotional openness • Expanding your capacity to love and receive love • Going beyond comfort zones when it feels right **Recommendation** **• Path A:** Focus on Practice Dates 1–2 for connection, ease, and chemistry exploration. **• Path B:** Explore all 5 Practice Dates if you're excited about deeper connection and relational growth. **Contact me via:** Text / Call: 419-487-3413 Email: [denimadoniasho@gmail.com](mailto:denimadoniasho@gmail.com) Meetup inbox

Just your entire relational pattern on the line. **Reflection Questions After Each Date** **After Date 1** Do you feel strong enough chemistry to be curious and interested in getting to know your match more? **After Date 2** Do you feel a strong enough connection to look beyond their façade? **After Date 3** Do you feel more love than friendship and feel ready to look into your own wounds and release triggers? **After Date 4** Do you feel ready to continue releasing and relieving wounds so you can receive love and see love more clearly? **After Date 5** Do you feel in love with your match, and able to give love, grow, and be the best version of yourself together? **Path A: Experience-Focused / Live-in-the-Moment** For singles who prefer to follow a natural flow and enjoy connection as it unfolds — with ease, fun, and presence. No pressure to go deep. Come as you are, enjoy the energy, and follow what feels good to you. You prioritize: • Comfort • Authentic vibes (not the same as "being authentic") • Living in the moment • Letting things unfold organically **Path B: Growth-Oriented / Intention-Driven** For singles who enjoy exploring deeper emotional connection, vulnerability, and conscious love. These challenges allow one to learn love, see love, and to give and receive love. You value: • Personal growth/ Being authentic • Emotional openness • Expanding your capacity to love and receive love • Going beyond comfort zones when it feels right **Recommendation** **• Path A:** Focus on Practice Dates 1–2 for connection, ease, and chemistry exploration. **• Path B:** Explore all 5 Practice Dates if you're excited about deeper connection and relational growth.

YOU HAVE TO CLICK THE LINK TO THE EVENTBRITE PAGE AND PURCHASE A TICKET THERE. PRICE GOES UP AS EVENT TIME APPROACHES AND MAY SELL OUT SO GET YOUR TICKET ON EVENTBRITE ASAP.** **\*This is a multigroup event so event responses are only a portion of the total number of attendees** NYC Speed Dating - Dating Games Is your dating life starting to feel monotonous? Do your dates resemble job interviews more than actual chemistry? Sick of dedicating your entire evening to getting to know just one person? Then check out **“Dating Games” Speed Dating!** It’s a lively, modern twist on the classic format. Join us for a one-of-a-kind social experience for NYC singles! Meet new people, win raffle prizes, and connect with other fun, like-minded singles. It’s not only a great way to meet a potential partner—it’s also perfect for finding new friends or even future wingmen/wingwomen. **Suggested age range: 20s, 30s & 40s.** Our warm, welcoming host will get things started before dividing everyone into small groups at various tables. You’ll chat, mingle, and play lighthearted social games with groups of about 4–5 singles. The games are easy, super fun, and designed to help everyone open up and connect. After each round, you’ll rotate tables—just like traditional speed dating—so you'll eventually meet all the singles attending. You’ll also receive a “match sheet,” where you can mark anyone you’d like to speak with again. If they choose you as well, the host will email you each other’s contact information within roughly 24 hours so you can plan a date. Let’s be honest—we’re all tired of endless swiping on apps and meeting people who may not be anything like their profiles. A “Dating Games” Speed Dating night is a far better way to connect because you meet real people *in person* and get a genuine sense of who they are. This is an entirely new, innovative take on speed dating! We appreciate the idea behind traditional speed dating, but it can be tough to keep conversations flowing. That’s why at “Dating Games” events, you’ll have entertaining, easy-to-play games to help break the ice and avoid the typical interview-style awkwardness. We find this format helps people connect more naturally and meaningfully. ### WIN PRIZES! You’ll enjoy an evening full of fresh faces, interactive games, and social fun—no special skills needed, just a little luck! Our friendly host will guide the whole experience and help everyone get acquainted. Throughout the night you’ll play multiple games while getting opportunities to interact with all the singles of the opposite sex. When you win a game, you earn a raffle ticket—giving you chances to win prizes! ### IMPORTANT: THIS IS A PRE-PAY EVENT ONLY Tickets **must** be purchased online in advance—registration at the venue will *not* be available. As the event nears and space becomes limited, the price will increase to $35. *See more upcoming NYC events at [WWW.FRIENDZYEVENTS.COM](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dating-games-a-fun-twist-on-speed-dating-in-nyc-tickets-1982239058384?aff=oddtdtcreator)* For tickets and information: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1989755383916](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1989755383916)
