Ditch Your Dating Apps!
Try No Swipe Date Night Instead!
Here at No Swipe Date Night, we're more than just a dating company. We're a community of rebels who believe that love shouldn't be forced to fit into a box. It should be free and wild.
People are drawn to No Swipe Date Night events because they are looking to write their own love stories based on what feels good for them, not on what society thinks their love should look like. If you're ready to cast off the "rules" of dating and relationships and finally create the perfect fit for you, then welcome...you've found your people.
At our events, we bring together a diverse group of people who are exploring Radical Relationships. We're the weird ones who want deeper love and we're willing to do the work to get it. That means we have the hard conversations, express ourselves authentically, ask for what we want, and have the courage to be vulnerable.
That might feel a bit scary at first, but don't worry you're safe here. You're safe to be exactly who you are without fear of being judged or shamed.
It also means that we ask YOU to show up to our spaces with a judgment-free attitude. You might meet some people at our events who are very different than you or who do relationship differently.
We ask that you have an open-mind and heart as you connect with people who on-the-surface you might not think you have anything in common with. Stay open and you just might be surprised at the similarities you have in common.
And if you end up meeting people who you don't vibe with, all you have to do is mark "no" on your Match Card. No awkward, "Sorry, but I don't want to see you again" texts necessary.
Plus, mini-dates only last about 10 minutes so you'll never be stuck in long-awkward conversations as you choke your way through an entire dinner.
As a single gal who's also navigating Modern Dating, I've created No Swipe Date Night to be exactly what I want in a dating experience. I hate dating apps, ghosting, and awkward small talk. You won't have to endure any of that as you explore the realm of No Swipe Date Night.
So what are you waiting for? Click that Registration button and start your adventure today!

YOUR SAFETY MATTERS
Modern dating can be scary. Meeting a total stranger from a dating app all alone can feel like a huge gamble. Don't risk it!
At No Swipe Date Night , we create a safe space for you to meet new people in a group environment. You won't be stuck in an awkward hours long date with a total creep. You get to feel out someone's vibe in-person before you agree to continue talking with them. You're always in control of the information you share with your matches too.
We've always got your back at our events. If someone shows up intoxicated or has some unsafe vibes, we're not afraid to ask them to leave and remove them from our match pool. You can rest assured that we take consent seriously too without harshing the vibe of the experience.
You can practice the art of flirting in a safe, consensual way so you can be yourself, catch some feels, and have your boundaries respected. Now that's hot.
