At our signature event series, everyone's *actually* a friend-of-a-friend. We believe in the power of social proof, so everyone has to bring someone they can vouch for (and who vouches for them). Because your guest must be a friend of the opposite gender, every Plus-One Party™ is guaranteed to be 100% gender-balanced, too. Everyone's vetted by a friend, everyone has a supportive wingman, and no one has to go through it alone. We're making dating more social, more accountable, and way more fun. Find your favorite wingman and get your tickets below!
Plus-One Party™
experience the
Even if you haven’t met “your person,” you have a full social life and know wonderful people who you can vouch for.
Have great friends who would be a match for someone else:
You want to meet someone IRL, but aren’t sure where to begin.
Don’t know where to go to meet people:
You’re burnt out on endless swiping, messaging, lackluster dates, and ghosting. You want more accountability and meaningful connection.
Are tired of dating apps:
Want to meet someone
“through friends?”
We'll provide structure to help you meet new people, but at the end of the day our events are really just parties with friends-of-friends. 100% of our guests say they had a great conversation with someone new.
Just parties with great single friends
We get it, meeting people “in the wild” can be scary. That’s why we’ve thoughtfully designed every event to facilitate connection and make it easier to be brave. With expert hosts, intentional touches, and the support of your wingman, you’ll have everything you need to get chatting with other great, social singles. Whether you meet someone special, make a friend, or just feel proud for stepping outside your comfort zone, it’s a refreshing change from the world of online dating.
You bring a friend, we help with the rest
You have great friends you’d be happy to see someone else date
You’re ready to step outside of your comfort zone and meet people IRL
You’re looking to build meaningful romantic relationships
You’re in your late twenties to late thirties.
Who is this for?
These events are for you if:
Let loose, flirt, support your wingman, and make new friends. At the end of the day, dating is supposed to be fun!
HAVE FUN!
If you liked someone, say so! If you said you’d text, do it. If someone’s not feeling you, accept it graciously. We’re here to support a clearer, kinder dating culture.
Communicate with clarity and respect:
People do best at our events when they keep an open mind and remain flexible about the kinds of connections they’ll make; maybe they get to know someone who isn’t their “type,” or make a friend who connects them to a date down the line. Come with intention, but let serendipity happen. Remember that everyone here is a friend-of-a-friend!
Stay open, curious, and kind
Remember that everyone is there to meet new people. Introduce yourself, ask a question, and get in on the action. We’re here to support you, but we hope you’ll take that last courageous step.
BE BRAVE
Unless otherwise specified, all of our tickets are sold in pairs. We check you in as a duo, so you never have to enter an event alone.
ARRIVE TOGETHER
Grab a pal of the orientation you’re interested in dating (for example, if you’re a woman interested in dating men, you’ll need to bring a man interested in dating women).
Find your wingman
We host the Plus-One Party™ regularly in NYC and across the US.

What Goes Down:
- It encourages you to keep your eyes open for great people in your life you may have overlooked. Do you have a coworker, cousin, sibling, college pal, or friend-of-a-friend you haven’t considered? Our attendees regularly come up with creative solutions when they take some time to think about it.
- It ensures gender balance (at applicable events). No one wants to show up at an event where they either have no one to choose from or feel overwhelmed by all of the attention. This requirement guarantees that all of our events are always even.
- It’s a built-in vetting process. We don’t screen for things like income, height, or education, but we do care that attendees are vouched for by someone they know, and have strong platonic relationships across gender lines. This requirement, while sometimes a challenge, repeatedly brings us a kind, social, high-quality crowd, without us having to impose arbitrary screening measures.
- We value community, and that means that if you want to participate, you have to contribute! If you’re looking to meet other people’s great single friends, we require that you bring one for someone else to meet too.
