A structured Singles Salon at New Park.
Small groups of three or four, conversation cards on every table.
Ages 30s + 40s Meeting people as a single adult is mostly bad options.
The apps, or a bar where you spend the first hour working out who is even available and the next hour working up the nerve to say something.
A Singles Salon is the alternative.
You walk into a room of single adults who are all there for the same reason, and the night is structured so the conversation actually happens.
Everyone in the room is single and there to meet people, so there is none of the usual guesswork about who is available.
Most guests come on their own, and you are placed into a group the moment you arrive, so no one stands around by themselves.
You're coming to meet someone special, and we hope you do.
But some of the best people you'll meet are single friends of your own gender in exactly your situation, and those count too.
Come open to both.
How the night runs You settle into a small group of three or four, and we run the rest.
When it is time to switch groups, we tell you where to go, so you never have to work out the logistics yourself. • Tables: small groups of three or four, never one-on-one • Rounds: five, fifteen minutes each • Breaks: two short breaks built in • Conversation cards: on every table, so no one has to start cold • Moving: we guide every switch, you just bring yourself to the next group • Final round: by now you have met more than half the room, so the closing open floor is the easy, comfortable part, and you can circle back to whoever you want more time with • Length: two and a half hours The bracelets At the door you can pick up a bracelet that signals what you are open to.
White means you are here to meet friends.
Amber means you are open to something casual.
Blue means you are looking for something serious.
Wear one, wear two, all three, or skip them altogether.
They're there to save everyone a conversation they would rather not have.
None of the speed-dating machinery There is no scorecard, no rating people, and no waiting on a mutual-match email to find out if someone liked you back.
If you hit it off with someone, you trade numbers like adults, right there.
If that is not your style, there is a low-key way to leave your information at the end of the night, but most people never need it.
The details Wednesday, August 12th.
Doors open at 6:30 and we start promptly at 7:00, so come 15 to 30 minutes early to grab a drink…
