Expressions of Interest for Millennials Go Dating event
At Millennial Crisis, we often get asked about hosting a speed-dating-style event. Recently, Conscious Connection, who host cooking classes with strangers events asked if we’d like to collaborate on Valentine's event.
We have decided to take a look into the idea and see how many people would be interested.
In true Millennial Crisis fashion, this would NOT be a regular speed dating event. In fact there would actually not really be many 1-1 lightning-fast rounds. How TF are you supposed to connect with people like that? We will be hosting small intimate group conversations that discuss topics related to dating, love and lifestyle values.
You will rotate around these small groups getting to know people on a casual level at the event. In true Millennial Crisis fashion, you will be set a challenge post-event to contact one or more of the people you felt a connection with to go out on a date!
We believe this will be an amazing way to transform the way you view dating, taking the pressure off and really connect with potential matches on a human level.
This WILL be paid event tickets costing likely around $40-$50. Included in that will be food and non-alcoholic drinks (that’s right, we are keeping this dry! Really switching up the way you might currently be dating). Conscious Connections will be cooking some incredibly sexy food for us and together, we will host an incredible evening where we hope you can connect with a bunch of new people & who knows, you might even stumble upon the love of your life.
This first event will be for people aged 25-35. We will look into running a straight or queer event depending on the EOI we receive.
Below is a form to fill out where we will gauge interest and decide how we can move forward with the event. We want to ensure the quality of people is high. People attending are willing to put themselves out there and are ready & open to a relationship.
Conscious Connection Events are all about inspiring meaningful connection and giving people the opportunity to make new friends in a safe and intentional setting. There are currently different connection events, but our main focus is the dinners. Conscious Connection Dinners are an informal cooking class where you get to meet new people and learn to cook an amazing meal together. These events are alcohol free and we avoid talking about work so that we can genuinely get to know each other, and who we are outside of our job titles. We focus on creating interesting conversation beyond surface level and by the end of the night, we'll be eating our meal and talking about things as though we've been friends for years!
