LGBTQIA+ Mix & Mini Date, North Stonington, CT at The Tin Peddler
🔥 Skip the swiping—come meet real, local LGBTQIA+ singles in person! 🔥
If you’re tired of the same old routine, this is your chance to mix things up, meet new people, and have fun putting yourself out there! This special LGBTQIA+ speed dating event is designed for all in this community, making it easy and natural to spark connections—whether you're looking for friendship or romance—without the pressure of a full date.
🍸 The night starts with a casual mingle & mixer—Grab a drink (not included, but encouraged) and enjoy some casual conversation before the dating rounds begin.
💬 Not great at starting conversations? No worries! We’ve got you covered with icebreaker questions to kick off each round. Plus, there’s a lovely, high-energy host there to hype you up, keep the energy high, and ease any nerves!
✨ As the night progresses, remember the room might be buzzing with loud and exciting chats! So while it might be a bit hard to hear your date... Embrace the noise! Because it's part of the fun and lively atmosphere that Sips & Sparks fosters at each event.
And as the bell rings to signal the end of each round, you’ll rotate to meet someone new in an atmosphere filled with positive energy and excitement. You’ll get to meet everyone in the room in a fun, relaxed way.
⏳ Arrive 15–30 minutes early to settle in! We start right on time, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.
💖 How it works:
- ✔️ After each person, you’ll select friend, date, or none on a simple matching system.
- ✔️ If there’s a mutual match, we’ll send you each other’s contact info the next day!
- ✔️ No smartphone? No problem—we’ve got paper match forms too.
✨ Important to note: This event is open to everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community, so you might end up paired with someone you’re not romantically attracted to—but that’s part of the experience! The focus is on building connections—whether it’s a friendship or exploring potential romance.
What you can expect is to meet new people, build your confidence, sharpen your social skills, and maybe even find someone special—but the goal is to embrace the possibility of meaningful connections in a fun, pressure-free way.
Because you won’t meet your next friend or partner staying at home alone. 💪
