Offline Valentine - For Melbourne Professionals Who Happen To Be Single
Overview
Are you successful in life but still single?
Maybe your friends are all getting married, buying houses, or having babies - and you’re still searching for that special someone.
You’ve tried the dating apps (endless swiping, ghosting, scams). You’ve gone to social events or speed dating, but it feels like you’re wasting time with people you don’t really click with.
Bars or clubs? Forget it. The music’s too loud, most people are drunk, and genuine conversation is nearly impossible.
All you want is to meet someone organically, share an enjoyable conversation, and feel like you’re on the same wavelength - like they really “get” you. The real you.
Enter the Offline Valentine Experience
Offline Valentine is a premium conscious dating experience designed for professionals, entrepreneurs, and successful individuals who are ready for love and connection.
This is not an app. It’s not a hook-up scene. It’s a curated, phone-free event where you’ll practise presence, build confidence, and connect authentically with like-minded singles.
What to Expect (3-Hour Format)
Hour 1 — Connection Games
Start with fun, guided activities that make it easy to meet similar-aged singles - even if you’re shy. These games help you discover who you feel most curious about and would like to connect with further.
Hour 2 — The Famous 36 Questions
At the end of the first hour, you’ll have the chance to choose your partner(s) for this round. Be brave and express your choice - this is part of the experience. Vulnerability is a powerful dating skill, and this event gives you a safe way to practise it.
💡 Special Note: The 36 Questions were popularised by a New York Times Modern Love essay inspired by psychologist Arthur Aron’s closeness study. They’re designed to move you past autopilot small talk and help people feel meaningfully connected in under an hour. In that essay, two colleagues even went on to fall in love and get married. Since then, people worldwide have used them to spark deeper connection.
Hour 3 — Open Mingle
Now it’s your time. Continue a conversation that sparked your interest, or approach someone new. Exchange contact details with pen + paper before the night ends (we don’t forward details afterward).
Why It Works
Your ticket isn’t just about the activities - it’s about the quality of singles in the room.
These aren’t people hiding behind a screen. They’re proactive, real, and taking action to put themselves out there. They’ve chosen to show up in person, to be vulnerable, and to connect authentically.
That means every conversation you have is with someone who is genuinely seeking connection - not just passing time online.
When most people struggle to meet even one genuine single on the apps, here you’ll be in a room full of equally ready, like-minded people. That’s an incredible opportunity.
Support & Safety
You’ll be fully supported throughout the experience. This is a safe container where you can relax, be yourself, and practise real-world dating and social skills without pressure.
The ticket price also plays an important role - it attracts a crowd of people who are genuinely invested in showing up, not just looking for a cheap night out.
This is not an event about getting drunk to fuel conversations. Instead, it’s a carefully designed, phone-free experience that helps you:
- build confidence,
- develop advanced dating skills, and
- create authentic connections.
Why You’ll Love It
- No small talk. Structured activities keep conversations fun and meaningful.
- Phone-free. Be fully present without distractions.
- Inclusive. Welcoming to all genders and orientations.
- Real-world skills. Practise approaching, listening, and expressing interest in a supportive space.

What past guests say about Offline Valentine:
⭐️ “Good way to meet new people and hopefully meet someone special. It is a lot of fun.”
⭐️ “This event was amazingly well-run with outstanding preparation… good quality people were attracted to the event. The 36 Questions in pairs created a fun vibe for the night.”
⭐️ “Take a chance. Forget all the expectations and just be in the moment. You might not find love, but you’ll definitely meet some great people with interesting stories.”
⭐️ “Very well organised and thoughtful. The questions weren’t as intense as I feared — and reading them beforehand helped me relax.”
⭐️ “We were a good match on some key levels. He was willing to go deep and vulnerable — to me that’s key. Even if it doesn’t lead to love, the experience itself was deeply moving.”
⭐️ “A good experiment to get talking. Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t click right away — and please STAY for the mingling afterwards, that’s where more magic happens!”
⭐️ “This was a very safe space full of like-minded people. Everyone was respectful and supportive, even without romantic attraction. It felt like a community from the start.”
⭐️ “Having common values makes all the difference. My (partner) and I had at least 8 similarities — shared values, lifestyle, and goals — and that made everything flow.”
It's time...
Forget endless swiping, ghosting, and shallow conversations. The Offline Valentine Experience is your chance to meet quality singles in a fun, structured, phone-free environment. Step out of the digital world and into authentic connection.
