Date on Purpose: The Intentional Dating Experience (Ages 50–65+)

Date on Purpose is a curated, intentional IRL dating experience for singles who value real conversation, mutual effort, and genuine

If you’re single in your 50s or 60s, you’ve probably noticed...

You can have a full life…and still feel like meeting new people is like you’re trying to complete a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle (when every piece is mostly sky…ugh).

Like… where does one go to even meet single people anymore?

So you stay busy.

You’ve got your hobbies, your kids, your grandkids, and maybe even a few married couple friends to hangout with.
You stick to your usual spots and usual Netflix series.
But none of those things are creating more opportunities for connection.

In a world where we’re supposed to be more connected then ever….why does it feel like meaningful connection is nonexistent. Meeting people shouldn’t feel this complicated …so I created something to change that.

Enter: Date on Purpose an IRL event for intentional singles who want to show up like & connect like humans again… and on purpose. Humans who want real conversation. Real presence. Real effort and absolutely no tolerance for guessing games. They want the good wholesome stuff…and the possibility of meeting someone they want to see again. Crazy, right?

Beneath it all? I want to help humans connect as humans again in all their imperfect glory. Where judgement and egos are checked at the door… Period.💥

This is NOT speed dating.
No bells or whistles. No awkward pressure. No being put on the spot while you have under 2 minutes to dissect someone’s personality. This a relaxed, curated and intentional evening where you can have meaningful conversations, maybe even laugh a little , and see who you genuinely enjoy talking to… without feeling like you’re on a gameshow.

Here’s What to Expect:

• Every person who arrives at this event has registered and has been carefully vetted (by me) and wants to be there...on purpose
• A warm welcome (from yours truly) when you walk in the door and will guide you through the space. We want you to feel relaxed and safe here.
• A fun, easy flow to the night without awkward time limits
• Carefully curated conversation prompts (lifestyle, hobbies, values etc.) that give you intentional questions to ask (with answers you really want to know)
• Plenty of time to move around and talk to the people you actually want to talk to (and maybe even go back a second and third time)
• A comfortable, mature crowd and a great atmosphere
• A small gift bag from me as a thank-you for coming (YAY!)

This Night Is For You If…

❤️‍🔥 You'd like to meet good humans in person (without needing an app)
❤️‍🔥 You want a fun night out that doesn’t feel awkward or pressured to find a partner
❤️‍🔥 You’re completely over the apps and curious about trying something new
❤️‍🔥 You appreciate kindness, effort, and good conversation (because that’s what this is about)
❤️‍🔥 You want a space where coming alone feels completely normal + encouraged!

What This Night Is REALLY About

This isn’t about finding “the one” or your “twin flame in two hours. (that’s magic I don’t have) It’s about enjoying yourself, meeting good people, and remembering that real & honest connection can still happen the old-fashioned way (face-to-face, with real conversation and a little laughter). Who knows maybe you’ll even get that “spark back”…

People often leave with:
👌 a few genuinely great conversations (either dates or friends to hang out with!)
👌 a sense of relief (“okay… so normal people DO still exist!”)
👌 more clarity about what they want next in life and a relationship
👌 and a bit of hope that maybe finding a partner… really is possible in today’s world

...And if you’re wondering whether it will feel awkward to come alone — it won’t.

99% of people who show up are on their own. Now, go register and purchase your ticket because you’re in for a relaxed, enjoyable night out with good people, a (free!) glass of wine, and easy conversation with a group of humans who want the same thing you do… real connection.

See you there?
