Lesbian Speed Dating

Fast Friends Beer Company is hosting a Lesbian Speed Dating night on Wednesday, September 9, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's a straightforward setup: you rotate through a series of short dates with other women, a few minutes each, so you can meet a good number of people in one evening without committing to a full night with just one person. If you click with someone, you make a note of it; if you don't, you just move on to the next rotation when the bell rings.

It's a low-pressure way to get out and meet people in the city, especially if you're not usually one for the apps. Instead of swiping and hoping for a match, you're talking face-to-face, which usually makes it a lot easier to tell if there's actually any chemistry there. You'll walk away with a list of the people you liked, and the organizers handle the matching from there, so you only get the contact info for the women who were also interested. It takes the guesswork out of the first move.

The night runs from 7 PM to 9 PM, so it's a two-hour window to work your way through the room. Tickets are $34, and the whole thing takes place at Fast Friends Beer Company, located at 7313 N Interstate 35 Frontage Rd NB in Austin. If you've been looking for a way to meet other lesbians in the city that doesn't involve a screen, this is a pretty direct way to do it.
