AS SEEN ON:

Meet people, not profiles.

We believe datings best done face to face—where you can see, hear, and feel the chemistry.

It’s not about swiping on someone who looks good on paper; it’s about meeting someone who clicks with you IRL.

TIRED OF DATING THAT JUST... DOESN’T WORK?

Swiping, ghosting, weird vibes, and feeling like you’re the only one taking it seriously. Yeah, we’ve been there too.

Emotionally Exhausting Emotionally
Exhausting

Dating apps turn connection into a numbers game—and leave you feeling burned out and unseen.

Emotionally Exhausting No One’s on the
Same Page

You show up looking for something real. They’re looking for a story, a fling, or just a free drink

Emotionally Exhausting Never Know What
You’re Walking Into

Bar meetups. Random mixers. Vague “events.” It’s awkward, unclear, and rarely worth the effort.

A SMARTER WAY TO DATE IRL

Luvvly takes everything frustrating about modern dating and replaces it with one fun, low-pressure night out.

Emotionally Exhausting Show Up
—No Pressure

No host, no awkward intros, no reserved seating. Just a casual spot, your phone as your guide, and a few fun facts to kick things off.

Emotionally Exhausting Meet 6–9 People, One-on-One

We’ll guide you to each date (they’ll be looking for you too). You’ll have about 10 minutes to chat before moving on. No small talk required.

Emotionally Exhausting Match Later, Privately

At the end of the night, mark who you’d like to see again. If it’s mutual, we’ll share contact info the next day.

Speed dating for the modern age.

"No 2 seater tables with a timer at the front of the room. just people mingling in a bar space, guided by prompts on your phone. i liked that the group was small - meeting ~6-8 people for 9min each allowed us to actually have a conversation. "

FAQS

EVENT INFO

  • The experience of all attendees depend on every participant's commitment.

    There are no refunds or ticket transfers.
    Our events are for intentional singles willing to take time to show up and connect IRL, for this reason all Luvvly events are subject to a $50 no show fee.

    If your plans change, you must give us a heads up:

    • Cancel before the 4-hour cutoff → no additional fee

    • Canceling within 4 hours of the event is considered a no show → $50 no show fee

    • Leave early without telling your remote host → $50 no show fee + possible ban

      If you decide to cancel, we understand things come up but please let us know as soon as possible so we can fill your spot - you can cancel by directly texting your remote host or emailing us at events@luvvlydating.com

      Your commitment, communication, and understanding are instrumental in ensuring we can continue to create great dating experiences.

  • $25. You’re here to meet someone special, not break the bank.

    Pricing may vary slightly from city to city.

    The fee helps us cover the costs of organizing these events, paying our dedicated Luvvly remote hosts, and continuously improving your experience.

    Prices subject to change.

  • Yes! Hit the ‘waitlist’ button next to the event of your choice and fill in your contact info. We’ll notify you via text if a spot opens up.

  • Please arrive 10-15 minutes early, as our events always start on time.

    Remember, we are not an app; our events are managed remotely by a real person who will be busy confirming attendance and organizing round pairings. Timely communication is key!

    If you're running behind or cannot make it, you MUST give us a heads up.

    Without a response by the pairing deadline, you'll be removed from the participation list and will not be able to join in. Late arrivals without notice will be marked as no-shows and will automatically incur a $50 fee.

    We cannot add you back into the event once it has started, as this disrupts the round pairings.

    If you're running a few minutes late, we can usually accommodate you, but we need to know in advance.

  • Please ensure your age matches the event's specified age range. Our age ranges allow a 2-year flexibility above or below the specified range for events.

    Example: If you're 24 and interested in an event for ages 26-32, you can still attend thanks to our 2-year flexibility rule. This also applies if you're 34.

  • Straight” events do not require you to be entirely heterosexual but set the expectation that you’ll be dating the opposite sex. Think of it as men seeking women / women seeking men.

    "Queer Women" events are designed for queer women: women seeking women, trans men, and anyone aligned with the queer womens community.

    Queer Men” events set the expectation for same-sex dates, men seeking men.

    “Pansexual” events include people of all genders and orientations, with the expectation that attendees are open to dating any gender.

    “Bisexual” events are designed for bi and bi-curious folks who are open to dating more than one gender. Expect to date a mix of genders.

    All Luvvly events are open to everyone, regardless of gender identity or orientation. Many of our Luvvlies who are bisexual, trans, or non-binary enjoy attending both queer and straight events.

    When joining, we recommend choosing the event type that best matches your preferences and who you are seeking. If you’re unsure, just shoot us an email and we’ll be happy to help! 😊

  • Most events last about 2 hours. 

    You’ll have 8-10 minutes to connect with each date, a couple of minutes between each round and a short intermission mid-event if there are over 6 dates.

    Please refrain from booking unless you can commit to the full event.

  • This rarely happens.
    In the case it does, you’ll have the option to “ping” your date. If that doesn’t help simply text your host and they’ll assist. Likely, your date is just in the restroom.
    In the unlikely scenario your date has left, that ‘round’ will simply be a break for you.

  • Luvvly events consistently book out in advance with full waitlists, guaranteeing 6-9 dates at any event. Despite no-show fees and effective communication, rare last-minute cancellations can disrupt the participant ratio. If we don’t have enough time to fill the spot, we adjust by simply implementing break rounds.

    In the case the turnout is lower than 6 dates, which almost never happens, we’ll offer a partial credit for the inconvenience.

    On the very rare occasion where attendance gets so low that we can’t offer a quality experience, we’ll give you ample notice and cancel the event, offering you a choice of a credit transfer or full refund.

    To help us in delivering great dating experiences, please notify us as early as possible if you're unable to attend by emailing us at hi@luvvlydating.com.

    Your timely communication greatly helps in maintaining the high standard we have for Luvvly Dating experiences.

  • On the day of your event, your remote host will text you to the number you registered with. This will be your sole method of communication with your remote host leading up to and during the event.

    Please double check that your number is correct when registering.

    If you have any questions prior to the event or do not hear from your remote host on the day of, please email us at hi@luvvlydating.

GUIDELINES AND SAFETY

  • We reserve the right to remove any participant due to inappropriate behavior without a refund. This includes disruptive conduct, failure to respect others, or any violation of the following Ground Rules.

    Community Ground Rules:

    1. Do NOT share, ask for, or provoke the sharing of personally sensitive information (contact, address, etc.). All connections will be facilitated by Luvvly through our secure and private matching process, ensuring you only share information with those you wish to connect with. This promotes a low-pressure dating experience.

    2. Do NOT engage with other participants in a way that harms them or makes them feel uncomfortable. Keep conversations first date appropriate. Comments that are sexual in nature are not tolerated. If you feel uncomfortable, report the incident directly to your remote host via text or through the web app.

    3. No harassment, discrimination, or offensive behavior is tolerated. Prioritize consent, respect boundaries, and be kind, empathetic, and respectful to your dates. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone and take reports of misconduct seriously. Respect and decency are expected at all times, regardless of attraction.

    4. While some venues may serve alcohol, participants are expected to monitor their consumption. Intoxicated or belligerent behavior will not be tolerated.

    Failure to comply with Luvvly's Etiquette and rules will result in account suspension or permanent ban from all future offerings, with Luvvly and the coordinating venue taking further appropriate action as necessary.

  • Wear what makes you feel good. Think of it as a casual first date over coffee/ drinks.

  • Your safety and comfort are our absolute priorities. Our events operate without a physical host and we take extra precautions to ensure a safe and comfortable dating experience. Here's how:

    1. Our events are always held in public spaces during operating hours.

    2. If you encounter any participants violating our 'Luvvly Etiquette,' you can report them in real time by promptly texting your remote host or sending an email to hi@luvvlydating.com.

    3. We maintain close contact with our venues, ensuring a point of contact is available on-site should any situation arise.

    4. All participants agree to and are expected to follow our 'Luvvly Etiquette and Ground Rules'.

  • Sometimes! We occasionally capture moments from our events to show the world what real-life connection actually looks like. When we do, it's done discreetly and mindfully—never disrupting the your conversations.

    By attending a Luvvly Dating event, you acknowledge and agree that the event may be photographed or filmed. Your presence serves as consent for Luvvly to use any photos or videos you may appear in for marketing and promotional purposes, including digital ads, social media, and our website.

    We never share names, contact details, or personal information without your explicit permission.

    If you'd prefer not to appear in any media, just let us know at hi@luvvlydating.com before the event, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

  • We strive to foster a safe and welcoming environment at all Luvvly Dating events. However, it's important to understand that, similar to any public outing, we cannot guarantee 100% safety. Participation in Luvvly Dating events means you will interact with other attendees, venue staff, and possibly individuals not participating in our events. Please be aware that Luvvly Dating does not conduct background checks on participants.

    Our events are hosted in various third-party venues, such as cafes, bars, or restaurants, which are not owned or operated by Luvvly Dating. Please note that Luvvly Dating staff is not present on-site during any events. Our events are solely run remotely by a remote host.

    Luvvly Dating and its affiliates shall not be liable for any damages, injuries, or harm resulting from your participation in our events or any related activities, including but not limited to, traveling to and from venues. Your decision to attend our events is made with the understanding that you do so at your own risk, akin to visiting any public venue on your own.

    By participating in a Luvvly Dating event, you acknowledge and accept these terms, understanding the inherent risks involved in public social interactions and venue-based activities.

    We thank you for your understanding and look forward to providing you with unique dating experiences.

MATCH INFO

  • Once you've met all of your dates, your remote host will send you a match form to fill out.

    Match results will be sent via text within 24 hours of the event. You’ll get results even if you did not have any mutual matches.

    We take your privacy seriously, responses are confidential and will only be shared if a mutual match occurs.

    Confidence in Matching: To avoid human error, all mutual matches are automatically populated based on your match form submissions.

    Luvvly is not responsible for any interactions outside of our events.

  • Dating is highly personal, it's okay if you don't match every time—don't be discouraged! We want you to connect with the right ones, not just anyone.

    While many of our events participants see at least one match, the focus shouldn't solely be on the outcome of a single event.

    Each event varies; sometimes everyone finds a match, other times not. Yet, many attendees enjoy the experience of meeting and connecting with new people in person, regardless of whether they find a match every time.

    We believe finding the right person starts with investing in yourself. Although we don’t offer personal advice or coaching services we’ve assembled a list of top romance gurus, quizzes, courses and more on our website's learn page! This is intended as a free resource for anyone looking to learn and grow themselves.
