The great pandemic of 2020 has been an especially difficult year to look for love - all that social distancing and Level 5 lockdown got us nowhere on the dating front! Plus if the world thinks Zoom fatigue is a thing, just imagine courting with strangers online via tinder for three months of lockdown... Meeting 'in real life' was definitely underrated in the pre-pandemic times.

Now that we are finally allowed to go out again, and to possibly even meet new people too, social events for singles are back. Chemistry singles at Social on Main in Bryanston on Saturday December 5 is a one of a kind experience that promises a safe and fun way to meet other like-minded singletons, aimed exclusively at those in their 20s and 30s.

Arrive at 19:00 sharp for your welcome cocktail (food is also included in the ticket) and get your photo taken. Your Polaroid picture will then be assigned a random number and posted on the dating wall. Rather than classic 'speed dating', the vibe here is much more focused on a mix and mingle atmosphere without the pressure to make any big moves but with all the knowledge that every here is young, single and open to meeting someone.

And if you hit it off, who knows, there could be another meet up on the cards... If you think you've met someone you like at the party - pop your phone number into the envelope attached to their picture and see what happens!  

Tickets cost R150 include food (served from 19:30), welcome drinks and from 20:00 there's also a DJ on the decks. Book your tickets online here.
