- **Event Name**: January Speed-Friending at Spinster Books
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 18 Jan, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sun, 18 Jan, 2026 at 04:30 pm
- **Event Description**: I heard the call and answered. People are lonely. People are having a hard time making friends. People who don't hang out in bars feel isolated. 

We're here to help. Come to our Speed-Friending event. 

Speed-Friending is the fun and social, platonic activity - based on the speed dating concept. It’s designed to spark creative conversations and to lower the threshold for talking with strangers. Good conversations and possible friendships are just a simple question away.

Suggested questions will be provided, or march to your own drummer. 

You'll be seated (or standing, if that's your thing) across from another person, with 5 minutes to ask/answer questions - opening doors to more conversations, coffee dates, lunches, whatever. Time's up, switch to the next attendee. 

Really, who doesn't need the chance to make a new friend, find a shared connection or just do what The Spinster wants to do: pretty much meet everybody in the world... with some obvious exceptions. :D

Join us for an hour or so, depending on the number of attendees. No pressure. No commitment. No idea what to expect.
