Participants **should wear long pants** due to [ticks](https://www.somocon.org/?page_id=193928&fb) and thron bushes and sturdy shoes, and bring gloves (though backup gloves will be available).

Love Is Blind Speed Dating Event - As Seen On Netflix!

Get tickets at: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/673108474567](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/673108474567) NYC Speed Dating - Singles 20s & 30s --- LADIES TICKET COMES WITH A FREE DRINK! [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/673108474567](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/673108474567) Come experience this new & unique twist on speed dating! You've heard of the TV show "Love Is Blind" and now you'll get a chance to experience it in person! Here is how it will works: Ladies will first have female friend connect time, playing complimentary pool and/or ping pong (or just hanging out and chatting) while sipping complimentary cocktails in a private area separated from the gentleman. Gentleman will have new friends connect time in a private area as well! Speed dating will then begin! The men will be blind folded the entire speed dating, while the ladies will rotate for each round. For ladies and men, there will be special optional questions to ask to heighten the experience but it is not mandatory! We carefully set up the process so that neither the men nor women will be able to see each other will have to make selections based on personality! ***"I wasn’t sure what to expect, but not seeing the person first really helped me focus on what matters—our connection. It was refreshing!"*** ***— Alex R., Event Attendee*** 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. *WHY IT WORKS:* ***\*\* 82%*** *of participants in a study on blind dating said they felt more "genuine" and "authentic" when they couldn't judge their partner's appearance (Source: Psychology Today).* *\*\* Studies have shown that people who initially meet without seeing each other are **more likely to find deeper emotional connections** and establish **long-lasting relationships** (Source: Journal of Social and Personal Relationships).* *\*\* A report from The University of California, Berkeley, found that **satisfaction in relationships tends to be more stable when based on personality compatibility** rather than initlal appearance.* After the speed dating, the genders will be separated once more while the matches are selected and then handed in! There will be a complimentary after party in which everyone can mix and mingle over complimentary pool, ping pong, giant jenga and other cool games, For every drink purchased, your next will be half off the entire evening! Your matches will be emailed to you the morning with the option to leave your contact number in addition to email. ***\*\* YOU CAN SEE MORE NYC SPEED DATING EVENTS AT: [http://www.FriendzyEvents.com](http://www.FriendzyEvents.com) \*\**** *QUICK NOTE: You won't be able to sign up at the event.
