SUMMARY:Queer Speed Dating
DESCRIPTION:Meet other cutie queers in a space that’s easy\, fun\, and designed for connection without the pressure. Here’s how it works: you’ll rotate through a series of short conversations (about 5 minutes each). Afterward\, you write down who you’d like to connect with as a friend\, flirty new crush\, or just someone to watch the game with at Babes. Matches are emailed the next day. \nWho’s to say if you’ll leave with a crush\, brunch buddy\, or just a night of good conversations. No matter what\, our Queer Speed Dating event is about building connections that last. \nFollow @hotpotatoheartshotpotato on Instagram for updates.
