Singles events in Indianapolis: common questions

What kinds of singles events run in Indianapolis?
Indianapolis events run city-wide and out into Carmel and Fishers, hosted mainly by FIND Indianapolis. The calendar leans broad: speed dating by age bracket, Christian singles nights, sapphic and men-seeking-men events, a Plates and Mates dinner series, pickleball socials, Nerd Nite and dance walks.
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 Indianapolis are run by independent local operators, currently FIND Indianapolis. TNFM is the platform they use for ticketing and matching, so you buy from the operator running the night.
