Bold of you to assume♠
♥ Wingmen
Bringing support.
Not here to date, just here to help. Wingmen facilitate, they don't participate. They get their own card with a real role in the room: a one-time intro card to use on someone their friend wouldn't approach themselves.
♦ Pairs
Already matched online.
Matched on Hinge or Bumble and not sure if there's actually something there? Use a Pairs ticket as a real-life preview before you commit to a sit-down date. You still participate as individuals — just tell us where you matched at checkout.
WHAT HAPPENED
Not another bar. A distillery.
This was Meet Your Match at New Artisan Spirits a small-batch craft distillery in Dallas. Not just another singles mixer in a generic venue. The space, the drinks, the atmosphere all of it was curated on purpose.
If you put in the effort to show up, we made sure it was worth it.

The game of the night
Does assuming really make you an ass?
Not here it doesn't.
One card. One assumption. One reason to walk up to a stranger.
Every person got a card at check-in. Printed on it: a funny assumption about a stranger in the room. The job was to find the person it fit, hand it off, and keep the cards moving all night.
No groups. No rounds. No teams. The whole room was the game. You might have ended up with ten cards or none. Either way, you talked to people you wouldn't have talked to otherwise.
One rule — never hold more than three cards at once.
Side B — the music
Our first mixtape.
This playlist wasn't ours. It was yours. Every ticket came with one question, and your answer went straight onto the setlist — unfiltered.
(At the test night someone submitted "Knuck If You Buck." The room lost it. We didn't curate that out.)
- 01Answer the prompt at checkoutWhat song reminds you of a happy moment in your life?
- 02Every song goes into the playlistCurated, not filtered. You send it, we play it.
- 03Halfway through, we drop the mixtapeTry to find the person who submitted your song.
