Asian/Asian-American LOCK & KEY Singles 30s-40s — Better Than Speed Dating

Ditch awkward icebreakers, standing around, small talk, and timers at mixers. Actually meet and speak to Asians/Asian Americans (30s-40s)!

Tired of singles events where you're left to fend for yourself, standing around and waiting for someone to make the first move? This Asian and Asian American singles mixer in NYC replaces the guesswork with a fun game.

Every guest gets a lock or a key. Your mission is to find your match somewhere in the room. Once you connect, you’ll unlock a hidden conversation prompt together. Talk it through, then head back for a new lock or key and a new person to meet (if you want to). Keep going all night!

It’s part scavenger hunt, part icebreaker, part speed dating, but without the stiff interview-style rounds or the pressure of approaching someone with zero excuse to start talking.

Meet East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian American singles in New York City in a room that's actually been curated. This isn't a crowded bar night or an app. It's a relaxed, intentional singles mixer for Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipino, Taiwanese, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Sri Lankan professionals in their 30s and 40s —all Asian identities welcome— who are ready to meet someone worth their time.

Hosted by Sophie Kaemmerle, New York Magazine-featured NYC matchmaker and founder of Toi & Moi Matchmaking, this event is designed the way good introductions actually work: with structure, care, and the right people in the room.

This event is for you if: You're a professional in your 30s and 40s. You're serious about dating but exhausted by the apps. You want to meet high-quality Asian American singles in person, in New York.
