Authentic Poly Dating Berlin

“Thank you so much for creating a space in which such well-aligned people could come together. I can't think of the last time I met so many wonderful, open-minded people in one go like that. It was a real pleasure”

Looking to spice up your polyamorous dating life?

Here’s your chance to connect playfully and meaningfully with poly folk from all walks of life. After a long break, it's returning to Berlin this August!

You’ll have several encounters throughout the night. Each will be carefully guided, inviting you to be yourself, to communicate openly, and and explore multiples layers and flavours of connection, maybe even sparking a flame or two!

This event is open to polyamorous people of all genders and orientations. Come solo, in a couple or in a throuple!

Is this event for me?

If you are seeking....

• Deep & meaningful conversations without small talky chit-chat

• Exciting new connections, both romantic & platonic

• An opportunity to explore & challenge your assumptions

• A substance-free environment

• Playful & sincere communication activities

• Skills you can apply to your dating life beyond the event

• A space to simply be yourself

....then this event is for you

What will actually happen?

You will be invited to explore four unique interactions, some of which are randomised and some of which you can choose. Three will be in pairs and one will be in a group of three. Each will involve a new set of instructions to help you playfully reveal your deeper layers.

Each interaction will last 10-15 minutes. At the end of each interaction, you will have the opportunity to share a contact detail on a piece of paper in a way that is both cute and discrete ~ please bring your own pen!

Consent is important: you always have the agency to choose how deep you go. You will never be forced to share information that you don't want to.

While we aim to achieve an even balance of ages, this is not always possible. However, what is guaranteed are skills that you can apply to any relationship. Simply come with an open mind and ready to connect.
