This has been an idea of mine for 4 years. Our generation has only ever known dating through dating apps. We’ve lost the art of flirting.

The Meet Market is my way of bringing that back. I want to end the taboo that you can’t approach a stranger at a bar. My goal is to help at least one person grow the confidence and courage to ask someone out, or tell a stranger they’re hot or court boldly.

So here’s a space to flirt, flounce, be awkward, make a move, learn to fail and try again. It’s all welcome here. We need you, you brave people. Thank you for being here. You’re the main course. Be awkward. It’s delicious.
