Singles events in Charlotte: common questions
What kinds of singles events run in Charlotte?
Connecting Charlotte pairs modern speed dating with matchmaking, running hetero nights in the 21-35 and 30-45 brackets alongside LGBTQ+ events for men seeking men and women seeking women. The calendar also carries friend-making formats: Fast Friends for women and the Brews and Bros community night.
How does speed dating actually work?
You get a series of short one-on-one conversations, usually four to eight minutes each, with a host keeping the room moving. Afterwards you mark who you would like to see again, and you are put in touch with anyone who marked you back. You never have to reject anyone to their face.
Do I need to bring anyone with me?
No. Most people arrive on their own, which is the whole point of a hosted format: the structure does the introducing so you are not standing at the edge of a room hoping someone talks to you.
Who runs these events?
Events in Charlotte are run by independent local operators, currently Connecting Charlotte. TNFM is the platform they use for ticketing and matching, so you buy from the operator running the night.
