SUMMARY:Speed Dating Ages 30–35 at Favorites Bistro Bar
DESCRIPTION:Speed Dating Ages 30–35 at Favorites Bistro Bar offers local singles an opportunity to make real-life connections on Thursday\, July 30\, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Hosted by Sips & Sparks\, the event replaces endless swiping with face-to-face conversations in a relaxed\, welcoming atmosphere at one of downtown New London’s popular gathering spots. \nThe evening begins with a casual social mixer before participants rotate through a series of brief\, guided conversations designed to make meeting new people feel easy and natural. Icebreaker prompts help keep conversations flowing\, giving everyone the chance to laugh\, chat\, and see if there’s a spark.

Mutual matches receive each other’s contact information following the event so they can continue the conversation. \nAlthough the event is geared toward singles ages 30 to 35\, organizers note that the age range is intended as a guideline rather than a strict requirement. Guests are encouraged to arrive 15 to 30 minutes early to check in before the event begins.
