Dating on the fast track
There’s a chill in the air, which can only mean one thing… cuffing season is upon us once again. With dating apps losing their luster, many singles crave the meet-cutes of yore (read: BC, aka before cellphones) in tandem with fave classic rom-com setups—think The Wedding Planner or 5o First Dates. While many of us (regrettably) will not have Matthew McConaughey sweep us off our feet, there is an old dating ritual on the comeup and making a new name for itself—and it’s ideal for all ages. That’s right, speed dating is back (!).
Before deeming the trend tacky, keep in mind speed dating events are growing in popularity and cool factor, ditching the name tags, timers and over-the-top frills in lieu of a more relaxed approach. These events are social, sophisticated, laid-back—and above all an avenue to meet others open to dating, sans the pressure of sitting through a painful two-hour dinner wishing for the check. Here, a ream of places around town flaunting dating events, speed style.
“Take me to your leader.” … Or a new love interest when you spin your way to a singles event at DTR’s tavern-style taproom. Geared toward those ages 32 to 44, the soirees are simply an op to meet a plus-one for your next concert, bar crawl or adventure—and see where the universe takes you after that.
Oh, hay! Keep it lowkey and high-class with a night out on Fayetteville Street mixing and meeting local bachelors/bachelorettes ages 25 to 39 amid a private club atmosphere. Consider it a date.
Break the ice and mingle with myriad singles at this Cary-based bar’s host of events meant for fun socializing—whether you’re seeking love or a casual connection. And mark your cals for its HoliDATE event Dec. 10 to hopefully meet someone worthy enough to bring home to your fam come the holidays.
Find a connection before Christmas via Tap Yard’s Nov. 11 speed dating event geared toward bringing singles together before the holiday season. … Would you tap that?
