Maybe Date • Dinner for 6 • by LYTT

Sat, Nov 14, 12:00 AM

From Social Toronto!!!

4.5

*A novel approach to dating by LYTT* **You walk into a nice restaurant. Appetizers on the table. *Three men and three women, open to meeting new people and having a good time.*** No strings attached, just seeing if there is someone you vibe with. Or practice your flirting game, this is the space for it. ***It's NOT one big mixer:*** *every table gets its own venue.* If that sounds like your kind of Friday, we're inviting anyone going out on November 13th. ***Your only job: tell us who you want at your table.*** Get your ticket: [https://lytt.me/maybedate](https://lytt.me/maybedate?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=social-toronto) \-\-\- LYTT's specialty is connecting people in small groups. This one is a no-pressure opportunity to find a person you click with while enjoying good food in a nice setting. There is a non-romantic version of the same thing, with a more "friendworking" angle: [https://luma.com/lytt-tableforsix](https://luma.com/lytt-tableforsix) \-\-\- *What's the problem with current dating apps? We don't even want to get there... Same with singles events, speed dating... If you know, you know... and we are sorry.* *The best way to meet is still in person. You see someone and feel it, you both do.* *So we made a Friday where that can happen.* **Get your ticket here** (an RSVP on Meetup doesn't hold a seat): CA$38 until Oct 31, then CA$49, HST included. Sales close Nov 5. [https://lytt.me/maybedate](https://lytt.me/maybedate?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=social-toronto) \-\-\- **The details** * **Who:** tables of 6, three men and three women, *built around picks that go both ways (separately in the app).* * **Where:** every table gets its own restaurant. * **What's included:** appetizers on the table when you arrive. Mains and drinks on you, separate bills. * **Dress code:** dress nicely, like it's a date (it might be). * **The Maybe:** we can't promise you a date table. Ratios shift, picks don't always go both ways. If a balanced 3+3 doesn't come together for you, you're seated at a Table for Six the same night. Register only if you're fine with that. \-\-\- ***About LYTT*** *LYTT is a new way to experience events in small groups. Use it to meet new friends, network, and date. Think about dinners like this one, social and networking nights, brunch masterminds, lecture nights.* *Founded in Toronto in 2025 by an ex-Microsoft engineer as a research project into what makes people click. So far we've hosted 12 events, from 3 to 70 participants.* *Follow us here and on Instagram:* [https://www.instagram.com/lytt.me](https://www.instagram.com/lytt.me)
