What happens when you take the pressure of dating off the table and focus on real connection instead?
Connection Over Dating is a playful social night for queer men who want to meet new people without the expectations that usually come with traditional dating events. Whether you’re looking for friendship, community, conversation, or just a fun night out, this space is about showing up as you are and seeing who you meet.
We’ll start the evening with some light, playful games to break the ice and get everyone laughing. Then we move into our connecting rounds, where you’ll have short, relaxed conversations with different people throughout the night — a chance to meet a lot of faces without the pressure of a “date.”
To close the night, we open up the floor for a sober dance — good music, good energy, and space to keep chatting, moving, and connecting in a relaxed way.
No pressure. No dating agenda. Just connection, curiosity, and community.
Come solo, leave with new people in your world.
There’ll also be the chance to share your Instagram with others on the night and join a group chat that stays open for 48 hours after the event, making it easy to reconnect, follow up and keep the conversations going.
We close the night together with a gentle warm-down, leaving everyone feeling grounded, uplifted and hopefully with a few new connections.
