Dating in Brooklyn Shouldn’t Be This Hard
Let’s be real—dating in Brooklyn is exhausting.
You swipe for hours. You get "Hey" messages that go nowhere. You show up to a date hoping for chemistry… only to count the minutes until you can leave.
What if you could skip the small talk and meet someone who *actually* gets you—in just one night?
That’s the magic of Brooklyn speed dating with MixerDates. No algorithms. No ghosting. Just real people, real conversations, and real sparks.
"I almost didn’t go—thank god I did! Met my partner at the first event." — Leah, 31 (Williamsburg)

❌ Myth-Busting: “Speed Dating Sounds Awkward…”
Nope. Not the way we do it.
🚫 "It’s too forced." → Actually, it’s like a fun party where everyone wants to meet someone.
🚫 "I’m not good at first impressions." → No need to be "smooth"—just be yourself!
🚫 "It’s outdated." → Think: curated, inclusive, and actually enjoyable.
Our secret? We keep it light, pressure-free, and full of good vibes.
Why Brooklyn Speed Dating Beats Apps & Blind Dates
Let's face it - modern dating has become a minefield of disappointment. But here's why MixerDates' speed dating events outshine every other option:
Real Chemistry, Right Away
Unlike dating apps where you swipe based on carefully curated photos, our events let you experience that crucial in-person spark immediately. You'll know within minutes if there's a real connection - no more wasting weeks texting only to discover zero chemistry in person.
An 87% Match Rate That Speaks for Itself
Our carefully curated events and smart matching system lead to meaningful connections. Compare that to:
- Dating apps where over 60% of matches never even message
- Blind dates where you're relying on friends' questionable taste
- Bar encounters where you're competing with a dozen other singles
It's Actually Fun (Seriously!)
We've reinvented speed dating as a social experience:
- No awkward silences - our hosts keep the energy high
- Themed events that give you instant conversation starters
- A party atmosphere where even if you don't meet "the one," you'll have a great night out
No More Dating Fatigue
Say goodbye to:
- Endless swiping that goes nowhere
- Ghosting and game-playing
- Pressure-filled "interview-style" first dates
Our events remove all the worst parts of modern dating while keeping what actually works - real people meeting face-to-face in a comfortable, low-pressure environment.
