Neuroinclusive Speed Dating for Friends

Neuroinclusive Speed Dating for Friends

Sat, Oct 3, 12:30 PM
From Speed Friending (Platonic Speed Dating for Friends) by Daisy

**Neuroinclusive Speed Friending for Everyone (Platonic speed dating) is happening this Saturday** (Neuroinclusive doesn’t mean Neurodivergents only - open to everyone) **Important: tickets must be bought in advance of the event- not available on the door!** **🔔 Tickets are going fast and our last two events sold out 🔔** **Details:** Saturday 3rd October 2026 1:30pm to 5:30pm The Station Master, Marylebone Hosted by Simone French [daisy3October.eventbrite.com](http://daisy25july.eventbrite.com/) ***Psst! Free welcome drink token with all tickes!!* 🥂** **How does Daisy work?** Everyone gets a short profile on the app, so when you sit down with someone new and scan their QR code, you can already see a bit about them before you start talking. At the end of each chat you can discreetly indicate who you'd like to stay in touch with, with a separate option if you felt a little spark. Only mutual interest is ever revealed, so there's no awkwardness either way. *"The friend matching and contact info sharing system worked super well and massively reduced my social anxiety, as I didn't have to worry about misreading a social cue or potentially being rejected." -*Attendee feedback **Neuroinclusive** Conversation cards are at every table so nobody has to worry about their mind going blank. Most people use them as a backup, but they're there if you need them. The separate quiet area has adult colouring in, bubbles, acupressure rings, plushies and ear defenders for anyone who needs a moment. There are no bright or flashing lights and no overall bell. The environment is volume controlled and sensory considerate. *"The conversation cards were fantastic and facilitated some really lovely and emotionally honest conversations. Without having them to fall back on I would have felt very anxious trying to think of what to say or ask." -* Attendee feedback **Breaks & Mixer** One of the biggest worries people tell us about is not knowing what to do with yourself during unstructured time: where to stand, what to do with your hands, or how to naturally start a conversation with someone new. So we've built activities into the break and mixer. Darts, pool, giant Jenga and adult colouring in are all available, giving you something to focus on and a natural reason to chat without any pressure. **Professional compère** The event is professionally hosted by compère Simone French, with individual hosts guiding and supporting guests throughout. *"I felt really welcomed when I arrived. All the hosts were so lovely, and helped me feel relaxed straight away. As an autistic person I really appreciated being given direct instructions on where to sit and what to do." -*Attendee feedback **Extras** Every ticket includes a welcome drink token, and there's two raffles on the day where you can win a drink for you and someone else at the event. **What If…?** We've spoken with a lot of people about the worries they have around events like this, and we've matched every single one with a strategy. We've addressed them in a series of short videos on Instagram called "What If". You can find us here: @daisy_speedfriending_inclusive [https://www.instagram.com/daisy_speedfriending_inclusive](https://www.instagram.com/daisy_speedfriending_inclusive) *"It felt at home."-* Attendee feedback **See you soon!** **Jeanie and The Team** Any questions?
