Different-By-Design Dating Events

Maybe the club isn't it. You probably won't find your soulmate in some loud bar. And you definitely won't find them sitting at home just swiping. So here's another option: 

The 3rd Option was originally built as a networking space for young professionals. But when we really started listening to our audience, one thing kept coming up... This generation isn’t struggling to meet people, we’re struggling to find real connection.

So we evolved.

The 3rd Option is now intentional social experiences designed for connection: Romantic, relational, and everything in between.

Whether you’re:

• Single and exploring

• Dating and want something different / fun

• Or just tired of the same old scenes

THIS IS YOUR COMMUNITY!
