Slow Dating | Fitzroy Saturday | Gay Men | New Year New People

We’re back! 🚀🌈

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re not just after small talk and endless swipes.

We’re not products on a dating app.

There are no algorithms here — just proper hellos, shared laughter, and a bit of good old-fashioned eye contact between gay men, in real life.

After some thoughtful remodification, Slow Dating 2.0 is back, by popular request.

Thank you for your patience and love — it truly means a lot to us 💞

New here? No worries at all.

We warmly welcome new faces, new stories, and curious souls 🐢

🌈 Attendee Profile

This session is designed for gay men (18+) who value connection over performance.

Most attendees tend to be single professionals, with ages typically ranging from late 20s to 40s — creating a diverse, balanced, and engaging mix of conversations.

🍸 Venue Spotlight

Introducing our newest venue partner: Triple U

We’re taking over one of Melbourne’s most romantically lit, queer-friendly bars — the kind of place where conversations flow effortlessly and chemistry feels natural.

Think warm lighting, relaxed energy, and just the right amount of intimacy.
