Events in Minnesota

Join us this summer for this speed-dating event in the Bay Area! This event is open to both members and non-members. Pre-registration is required.

WE ARE AT CAPACITY FOR MALE PARTICIPANTS AND NO LONGER ACCEPTING REGISTRATIONS FOR MEN

Find Love Safely speed-dating events are structured, in-person gatherings for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who want to meet new people in a safe, supportive environment. Trained staff and volunteers are present throughout the event, conversation cards are available at each table to help spark discussion, and each pair has about three minutes to get to know one another before rotating. The format ensures that each man has the opportunity to meet each woman, with guidance and support along the way. Watch this video to learn more.

IMPORTANT: By signing up for this event, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

• Participants of all ages (18-49) may attend this event. Find Love Safely does not segment by age, so all men will meet all women.

• If there is a mutual match (both people indicated "yes" on their form), Find Love Safely will let both people know via email within one week following the event, regardless of the age of each participant. We also email you if you did not match with anyone.

• You agree to respond to all matches if they reach out to you.

Cost: Free for all current members; $25 for non-members
