The Social Shuffle: Speed Dating & Speed Friending Night
Speed-Dating
Ready to meet new people in a fun, low-pressure way?
We are teaming up with The Social Connection to host a structured speed-dating and speed-friending event designed specifically for neurodivergent adults and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (18+).
This isn’t awkward mingling — it’s guided connection.
Participants will rotate through short, supportive conversations with fellow attendees, giving everyone the chance to meet multiple new people in one evening. Conversation prompts and gentle facilitation will help make introductions feel comfortable and natural.
Whether you’re hoping to make new friends, explore dating, or simply practice social skills in a welcoming environment, this event is designed to be safe, respectful, and inclusive.
Caregivers are welcome to attend and support as needed.
We can’t wait to see you there and help you build meaningful new connections.
Cost: Free for all current members and their families; $8 for non-members. Registration is required for members and non-members.
Let’s Talk Dating: Real Questions, Real Answers for Neurodivergent Adults
Virtual Workshop
Join Find Love Safely and the My Best Social Life team for a live, one-hour "Fireside Chat" focused on the real-world dating questions that neurodivergent people and their families are actually asking right now.
We'll explore hot topics like online dating hazards, avoiding first-date missteps, and what healthy relationships can really look like for neurodivergent adults.
Jeremy and Ilana Hamburgh of My Best Social Life will be joined by Katherine Gyolai, founder of Find Love Safely, for a thoughtful discussion and Q&A that you're not going to want to miss.
