SUMMARY
Melbourne Comedians Nelly Thomas and Dean Arcuri are launching a series of 'Dating and Connection' events for LGBTIQA+ folks over the age of 40. Both Nelly and Dean were thrown back into dating in their forties and they will help you navigate this exciting - but sometimes daunting - journey in all it’s glorious forms.
Dating with the help of two Fairy Godmothers!
WHY
-
We are sick of apps.
-
We want real connection & conversation.
-
We're too bloody “vintage” for loud venues, mind-games, swiping and all that other shit!
-
Old Fashioned Romance is not mandatory but it sure is encouraged.
-
Effort is hot.
-
Ghosting and being a doofus are discouraged.
-
Good, clear communication and boundaries are encouraged.
It’s never too late to find love.
WHO IS OVER THE RAINBOW FOR?
-
Everyone under the LGBTIQA+ rainbow is welcome as long as you are over the age of 40.
-
All genders will be adored!
-
All sexualities will be loved!
-
If you're shy, Nelly and Dean will lend a hand.
-
If you came out later in life, we welcome you into the community.
-
Rural and Regional folks encouraged to attend: farmer wants a husband! Milkmaid wants a wife!
Our focus will be on FUN (events)
FREE AGREEMENT(between all)
&
FEELING comfortable (in the community)
There will be some structured activities and dates, but nothing will be forced. There will be 'chillout' and 'quiet' spaces available. Consent and Respect - of all kinds - will be paramount. Come together in a relaxed and safe space with people your own age where you might meet a date, a friend or someone you'd like to introduce to a friend.
