How to use this list

Who
Singles who would rather do something together than stand in a circle and introduce themselves.
How
Scan the cards for the activity, time, price, and neighborhood. Open the event to see what skill level is expected and where you need to be.
Why
These nights give you a shared task, so conversation has a place to start. You will usually meet fewer people than at speed dating. That is the trade.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of activities are offered?

DC activity-based singles events include cooking classes, wine tastings, group fitness, art workshops, museum tours, outdoor adventures, game nights, and recreational sports. New activities are added regularly.

Are activity events better than speed dating?

It depends on your preference. Activity events offer natural conversation flow and less pressure, but you might not meet as many people as you would at speed dating. Choose based on whether you prefer structure or spontaneity.

Do I need special skills for activity events?

No, most activity events are designed for beginners. The focus is on having fun and meeting people, not on being an expert.

How do I meet people at an activity event?

The activity itself provides natural conversation starters. Ask your neighbor for help, comment on what you are doing, or chat during breaks. Many events include structured mingling time before or after the activity.
