About this event
Singles night at Liz's Book Bar.
Someone's already interested. We make the introductions.
Ever spotted someone cute across a bookstore and had absolutely no idea what to say? Ever gone to a singles night only to spend the evening talking to the two people you already came with? And ever tried speed dating, met twenty people, and felt like you got to know none of them?
Come for a book-lined night of drinks, flirtation, and short one-on-one conversations at Liz's Book Bar. Every round we suggest one fun and easy topic to start off with and we give you more time with each person, to give you enough time to see whether there’s a spark, and leave plenty of room for the night to loosen into a party.
Your ticket includes 4-6 introductions, for six minutes: just long enough to know if you want to keep talking after. Before the event, you fill out a 90-second profile: the profile helps us pair you and it gives the people you meet a fun and easy starting point. Optionally, you can actually let us know who you want to meet before the event and we'll introduce you two, guaranteed if it's mutual.
After the introductions, mingle with the people you're most excited to keep talking with, or flirt with someone new. You'll always have something to talk about.
At the end, trade numbers or privately tell us whom you’d like to see again.
How the night goes (this event is hosted)
7:30 — Doors. Grab a drink, check in with one tap, and your evening unlocks. Say hi to the event host and mingle.
7:50 — Round one. Your phone shows exactly who you're meeting and where — you'll never wonder who to approach and we'll start you off with a fun and easy conversation starter. You'll also know a tiny little bit about each person from a 90-second profile they made before the event: books, interests, fun facts, so you'll always know what to say.
8:10–9:20 — More introductions, about six minutes each, with browsing and mingling between rounds. Want an opener? We'll hand you one.
9:25 — Last round. By now the room is loud.
10:00 — Send likes on Asaya, or just trade numbers. Chats from tonight are free to open for 7 days.
You'll always know who to meet next. The rest feels like a party.
