# Event Details - **Event Name**: Queer Friendly Speed Dating & Friending in Los Angeles - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm - **Event Description**: Whether you're single, partnered and polyam, or just trying to make friends, this event is for you! Each hour features a different theme!About this EventSpeed Connections @ Thick Thrift LA ??Looking for romance, new friends, or just a cute way to spend your afternoon? Join us for a low-key, lightly structured Speed Connections event featuring both speed dating and speed friending — no pressure, just good vibes. You’ll rotate through short conversations, with plenty of flexibility to take breaks, grab a drink, or simply exist peacefully.There will be five 1-hour rounds, each with a different theme, so you don’t have to stay the full five hours unless you want to. You are welcome to sign up for as many rounds as you'd like — many people RSVP for 2–3. Each round includes ~5-minute conversations, giving you enough time to actually get to know someone while still allowing you to meet up to 10 people per round; exact timing and number of connections will vary depending on attendance.This event is hosted in partnership with Thick Thrift LA, our local plus-size thrift market, which means you’re free to wander the racks before, between, and after rounds. If you hit it off with someone, browsing together becomes a built-in first date. And if you don’t? You still get a cozy afternoon of thrifting, people-watching, and enjoying your own company. Come for the connections, stay for the market — and leave with something cute either way.Our last Speed Connections event sold out 100 tickets, with additional walk-ins and waitlist inquiries — so if this sounds like your vibe, it’s a good idea to grab a spot sooner rather than later.Info from Thick Thrift (Summarized)The market is primarily outdoors with an open-air warehouse section, is fully ADA accessible, includes changing tents, and is pet-friendly.
