What we’re about

This is a a group for people who live in Bayside, the boroughs and Long Island.   It's for people who are creatures of the city, with all its diversity, possibilities, opportunities, and excitement. To be sure, we will make excursions into the city and Long Island. The point of this group is as much to allow meeting, forming friendships, and having fellowship with others whose hearts belong in the city, as it is to take trips into the city for all that it offers.

Some of the event types we offer are : Speed dating, Museums, bowling, pool, golf, bingo, shows, rock climbing, mingles and more.   Some events are associated with http://www.weekenddating.com  or https://www.socialevents123.com and others are not


NOTE;  This group is NOT about pick up, wingmen or seduction techniques.

    How else is it similar/different from Traditional Speed Dating

    One on One dates:

    We will break participants into pairs of two, just like we do with traditional speed dating. You will get to speak to each dates for a specified amount of time (typically 4-6 minutes). After the specified number of minutes, the guys will rotate to the next date and the process continues.

    Just like with traditional speed dating, at the end of the event you will be able to let us know who you were interested in. We will send you both mutual matches (you picked them and they picked you) as well as one way matches (they picked you but you did not pick them).

    You are given 20 minutes from the end of the event to let us know who you are interested in and will receive the results the same night (usually within one hour) or the next morning. You will not have to wait 24 hours or more to get your results.

    ***

    How many potential dates will be there?

    The minimum number of potential dates will be 5 and the maximum will be about 15. If for any reason there were less than 5 members of the opposite sex in attendance, you would get credit for a future Virtual event.

    Sip & Swipe Singles Event In NYC (30s & 40s) - A Fun Speed Dating Alternative

    Sip & Swipe New York Singles Event - Play Fun & Easy Social Icebreaker Games And Match With People You're Interested In Seeing Again!

    * AGE RANGE: 30s & 40s *

    A Sip & Swipe singles event is a revolutionary new event that is changing the way singles meet. Let's face it, we're all tired of the endless online swiping on dating apps and this event is the perfect way to meet other singles in real life!

    HOW THE EVENT WORKS...
    - At each Sip & Swipe singles event we book a reserved area with some tables at a cool bar with a great vibe

    - After you get your ticket we give you the event reservation name... When you arrive you just tell the venue host the reservation name and you'll be directed to the event area where you'll get to meet the other fun singles who are also looking to meet new people.

    - You'll be playing fun and easy icebreaker games to get to know everyone.

    - After the event you'll be a able to login to our app where you'll be able to select the people you'd like to stay in touch with (scroll down for more details about how that works).

    - We usually have between 12 and 20 people at each event. The amount of people varies from event to event but you'll definitely get to meet a good amount of people without being overwhelmed by a huge crowd. We keep the events fairly small and intimate so you really get to know everyone and make real connections.

    - Our host will walk you through the event via video on your phone (so there's no awkward check in process or silly name tags)
    - The coolest part about the event is that no one else at the venue will even know you're at a singles event. It will just look like a group of friends having fun around a table!
    - During the fun icebreaker games you can order cocktails (or non-alcoholic mocktails) to get everyone talking and then move into the games (feel free to order food/appetizers if you'd like to as well. Everyone pays for their own tab at the venue)

    ** QUICK NOTE: WE WILL BE RAISING THE TICKET PRICE EVERY FEW DAYS AND BECAUSE WE LIMIT THE SPOTS AVAILABLE, THE EVENT WILL VERY LIKELY SELL OUT BEFORE THE EVENT TIME GRAB YOUR TICKET ASAP TO MAKE SURE YOU GET A SPOT. **

    WHAT ARE THE ICEBREAKER GAMES ALL ABOUT?
    You'll be playing fun games like "Friendly Feud" which is similar to the popular prime time TV show we all know. In this game you and the other singles at the table will be asked fun questions like, "Name a gift that women love men to give them". You will try to come up with the most popular answer and then you'll find out if you got the top answer. Another popular game we sometimes play is Blank Slate where you have to try to guess the most popular fill in the blank answer to questions like, _________ TIME . You'd have to try to come up with the most popular answer... is it PARTY TIME? Is it NIGHT TIME? Or maybe it's SHOWTIME.

    HERE'S THE REALLY COOL PART!
    This event has led to countless relationships and new friendships formed because after the event you'll be able to stay in touch with the people you met at the event by reaching out and contacting them on our app. After the event is over we allow you to login to the app and swipe on the people you'd like to stay in touch with! It's similar to a dating app but you'll have actually met and mingled with the people in person before deciding if you want to match and stay in touch with them! After you get your ticket you'll be able to upload a photo of yourself on our webpage (only viewable by the other event attendees). After you sign up you will get an email from us with instructions on how to upload your photo to our app/webpage. It's the perfect way to meet someone, merging new technology and good old fashioned meeting in real life!

    *** IMPORTANT! IF YOU DON'T SEE AN EMAIL FROM US AFTER YOU SIGN UP MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER. THAT EMAIL CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND DETAILS ABOUT THE EVENT AND GETTING ONTO THE APP ***

    A message we received about one of our recent events: "I had a great time at the event. The people were really friendly and the games were a lot of fun. It was a refreshing change of pace from the dating apps" - Leah

    THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 15 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP REFLECTS ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF ATTENDEES.

    We do not accept payment at the venue. You must pre-pay and get your ticket online.

    HOW MANY WILL BE ATTENDING?
    We usually have between 12 and 20 people in attendance (It varies from event to event). We find the smaller crowd a way better way to meet someone than being overwhelmed by a giant crowd. The smaller crowd allows you to really get to know everyone and it's a much easier way to make real connections.

    We do our best to keep the ratios close to even but sometimes there may be one or two more women and sometimes there may be one or two more men.

    CAN I ARRIVE LATE?
    Try to arrive on time or even a few minutes early.

    Yes, there's a full menu of great drinks you can order at the bar.

    IS THERE FOOD AVAILABLE?
    Yes you can order food. The venue has a food menu and great appetizers available to order.

    IF I ATTENDED A PAST SIP & SWIPE SINGLES EVENT CAN I ATTEND ANOTHER ONE?
    Absolutely! We change up the games at each event so come to as many events as you'd like.

    WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?
    While we don't have a dress code we ask that you please look neat/presentable. What you wear to work or what you'd wear for after work happy hour drinks is fine.

    IS THERE A REFUND POLICY?
    If you need to cancel, please email us and we can transfer you to a future event. However we do not offer transfers if you cancel on the day of the event or don't show up.
