You’re welcome at any and all Friend or Flame events. Our editions are organized around who you’ll be dating that evening, so it’s up to you which events feel right for your preferences. Many bi, pan, and omni folks join multiple editions depending on who they’re interested in connecting with.

I'm non-binary. Is there an event for me?

The suggested age range is a soft guideline. If you are over 40, you are still absolutely welcome to attend and we’d love to have you! Our aim is to host events with varying age ranges in the near future, to allow even more opportunity for preferential matches. 21+!!

What is the difference between Friend or Flame's speed dating events and singles mixers?

Our speed dating events include timed mini-dates, where you'll meet a series of other singles one-on-one. Our singles mixers are a relaxed, self-guided social event where you can mingle freely throughout the evening with other singles.
