Mingle Mayhem

Dating in 2024 is mayhem, and we're all a little exhausted.&nbsp;Are you sick of swiping endlessly?&nbsp;Burnt out from forced&nbsp;5-minute conversations at speed dating?&nbsp;Would you rather do your hobbies and hang out with your friends than go on yet another first date?&nbsp;Looking to find your person?&nbsp;&nbsp; We're here to help you get&nbsp;off the app merry-go-round and find&nbsp;organic connections in a comfortable, fun way.&nbsp;Our mission is to create a low-stress, low-stakes, low-cringe space&nbsp;to meet lots of people just outside your existing groups of friends.&nbsp; We'll have snacks, games, a bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, and some surprise activities and features designed to get you talking with lots of people and find someone you click with. There will&nbsp;always&nbsp;be the option to hang out by the sidelines and continue a great conversation, or just scope out who's in the room. We all know tons of people from dating apps and other parts of our lives. Most of them are perfectly lovely humans whom we just don't have the right chemistry with.&nbsp;Bring those people to&nbsp;Mingle Mayhem! (We'll even give you a discount code to share with them!) Reach out to that person who was GREAT but not right for you, or someone who you’ve been chatting with on the apps but haven’t met in person yet.&nbsp;Where you didn't find a spark, someone else may find a flame! Someone else's "not quite" could be your "just right!" Who is this event for?&nbsp;We're envisioning this event for singles in their late 20's through 30's who live in the Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville area.&nbsp;While we're hoping to&nbsp;host a queer version at some point, this event will&nbsp;generally be geared&nbsp;toward hetero folks.&nbsp; Not ready to sign up yet but want to stay in the loop?&nbsp;Follow us on Instagram (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/mingle.mayhem.boston/" target="_blank">@mingle.mayhem.boston</a>)&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href="https://forms.gle/CSCnrEbwpfy3ghPaA" target="_blank">sign up for our email list</a>&nbsp;(we promise, no spam!)&nbsp; Questions? Ideas? Problems&nbsp;buying tickets?&nbsp;Email us at mingle.mayhem@gmail.com.&nbsp;
