If you’re ready to hit refresh on your dating life or just connect with new people, get up to date with In Real Life Co.’s speed dating events in Johannesburg. These get-togethers take place in trendy, comfortable bars in cool precincts, and cater to Millennials and Gen X’ers alike.
The next Singles’ Mixer & Speed Dating eevent runs on Saturday, 29 June at La Parada’s private dining space in Melrose Arch. Here’s all you need to know.
How InReal Life Co’s speed dating events work
The Singles’ Mixer & Speed Dating meetup creates a private and intimate setting for eligible singles to meet and engage in a relaxed speed dating activity. The concept is designed to suit a variety of social preferences and tastes, and the dress code is smart casual.
During the speed dating session, participants are rotated to meet each other over a series of short “dates” of 7 minutes each. After the event, each participant can select up to 3 people they would like to meet again, confidentially on a digital form. Where there is a mutual interest, the participants will be notified within 24 hours after the event and their contact details exchanged.
“From my observation with myself and others in my network, people are fatigued with dating apps and the digital space when it comes to finding love,” explains Thina Thembani, founder of In Real Life Co. “This initiative aims to revive dating to become more of a tangible experience again.”
What’s included in your ticket?
The experience includes a welcoming glass of bubbly and canapes on arrival while guests can network. The first set of speed dating starts, followed by a main course from the set menu. The final speed dating sequence runs before dessert, as well as evaluation. Guests can then network some more.
