Is your thumb getting sore from swiping on dating apps? You’re not alone – many people would rather meet IRL! Try out your real-world conversation skills at a speed dating event hosted by Jersey City Connects, and have a meet-cute with a special somebody.

THE RULES

You must be single
You must be between 29 and 36
Tired of Hinge deciding who you’re compatible with

WHAT TO EXPECT

1️⃣ Speed dating kicks off promptly at 6:45 PM, so arrive a few minutes early to check in and get settled.

2️⃣ You’ll get 5 minutes with each person.

3️⃣ Meet 14 eligible singles in one night!

4️⃣ Fill out your match card with your preferences.

FAQS

1. Is there a dress code? Nope! Wear whatever makes you feel confident and comfortable—think of it like dressing for a first date.

2. How do I find out if I matched with someone? You’ll receive an email after the event if you and another participant both expressed interest in each other.

3. Are there any breaks? Yes, we’ve got two scheduled breaks

4. What do you recommend? Keep the conversation light and fun. Think of this as a vibe check! If you're not sure where to start, try one of these icebreaker questions:

Hot take - google or tik tok?
If you could swap lives with your pet for a day, would you?
Would you rather have a personal chef, a housekeeper, or a personal stylist?

5. Are there any topics we should avoid? Yes! Try to steer clear of heavy or negative topics like:

Politics or religion

Long "dating is hard" rants (we get it—that’s why you’re here!)

Overall negativity
