If you’re not brave enough to give out your number, you can do a real-life Tinder after the event where you indicate on a form who you’d be interested in and if they, figuratively, swipe right on you too, you’ll be given their number and vice versa!
Your cover fee includes a Japanese dinner of donburi, dessert, drinks, and a mask to temporarily veil your identity.
Cover fee: $50
Meeting venue: Disclosed closer to event date
