Thinking about coming to a singles event…but scared about coming alone? This is your sign to GO.
Going to a singles event alone can feel intimidating… but that’s kind of the point. Everyone is there to meet someone new, and coming solo gives you one less reason to stay in your comfort zone. Use these tips to make it a little less scary!
1. Coming solo is actually an advantage
You don’t have a friend to stick with all night, so you’re way more likely to talk to someone new. And at speed dating? Everyone is there to meet people anyway.
2. Get there before it starts
Give yourself a few minutes to check in, grab a drink, get comfortable and chat with someone before the event gets going. Walking into a full room always feels scarier.
3. Find your FIND host
Tell us you came solo! Whether you’re speed dating, kayaking, playing pickleball or just mingling, our hosts can help you get settled and make an introduction.
4. Give yourself one tiny challenge
Talk to 3 new people.
Introduce yourself first once.
Stay for the whole event.
You don’t have to work the entire room. Just give yourself a reason to get out of your comfort zone.
Our brains love a little game.
5. Remember why everyone is there
Nobody signed up for a singles event because they wanted to avoid meeting people.
They came to connect too.
You already have that in common.
6. Don’t let the connection end there
Met someone you’d hang out with again? Get their number or Instagram.
Not every connection has to turn into a date. You might leave with a match, a new friend, a pickleball partner… or your next kayaking buddy.
No plus-one? No problem.
Your next speed dating event or singles social might be the perfect thing to do solo.
Come alone. Leave knowing someone. ❤️
