Speed Dating Straight Singles, Ages 24–34

An evening of warm, low-pressure speed dating at Abi's Books & Brews, designed for straight singles ages 24–34. You'll rotate through ten five-minute conversations just enough time to find a spark with a short break halfway through to refill your cup and catch your breath. After the rotations, mark down who you'd like to see again. We only share contact details when the interest is mutual no swiping, no awkward rejections, just genuine conversation in a cozy bookshop setting. Check-in opens 30 minutes before start time; please arrive by 6:45 PM so we can begin promptly. Check-in: 6:40 PM Ages 24 to 34 $25 (includes Your first drink is on us) Managed by Abi's Connections: edits sync automatically from the app.
