PUT DOWN THE DATING APP. 👀
It’s time to meet someone in real life.
SOBER • AGE-BLIND • SPEED DATING
AT COLEB PHOTOGRAPHY
No swiping.
No awkward DMs.
No liquid courage.
And one VERY important rule…
DON’T ASK THEIR AGE. 👀
This is a 21+ event, but once you walk through the doors, we’re taking age off the table.
Because maybe attraction isn’t supposed to start with a number.
⚡ 40 SINGLES. 20 MEN. 20 WOMEN. ONE VERY INTERESTING NIGHT.
WHAT IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW THEIR AGE?
Think about how we date now.
Before you’ve heard someone’s laugh…
Before you’ve looked into their eyes…
Before you’ve heard their voice…
Before you’ve discovered that they’re hilarious, intelligent, confident, awkward, interesting, or completely your type…
You’ve probably already seen their age.
And sometimes that number decides whether you’ll even give them a chance.
So we’re removing it.
At least for tonight. 😉
Welcome to Sober Age-Blind Speed Dating at ColeB Photography.
Everyone attending will be 21 or older, but ages will NOT be part of our speed dating experience.
We aren’t dividing the room into age groups.
We aren’t putting ages on name tags.
And during your speed dates, there’s one rule:
🚫 DON’T ASK OR DISCLOSE YOUR AGE.
Instead…
Ask about their life.
Ask what makes them laugh.
Ask what they’re passionate about.
Ask where they’d travel tomorrow if money didn’t matter.
Ask the weird questions.
Ask the FUN questions.
And most importantly…
Pay attention to how you FEEL sitting across from them.
WHY AGE-BLIND?
Because attraction can surprise you.
Someone might not fit the little checklist you created in your head…
And somehow be exactly the person you can’t stop thinking about.
We’re not saying age never matters.
For some people, it absolutely does — and that’s okay.
We’re simply asking:
What happens when it isn’t the FIRST thing that matters?
What happens when you experience the person BEFORE you see the number?
You might discover that the person you’re drawn to isn’t who you expected at all.
And that’s kind of the point. ❤️
HOW DOES SPEED DATING WORK?
It’s simple.
Throughout the evening, you’ll have a series of short, one-on-one conversations with other singles.
No pressure to impress someone for an entire date.
No spending three weeks texting before you actually meet.
And no trying to figure out how to escape if there is absolutely ZERO chemistry. 😂
You talk.
You laugh.
You flirt a little. 😉
You see how it feels.
And then you move on to the next person.
At the end of the evening, you’ll privately let us know who you’d be interested in getting to know better.
And if they choose you too…
IT’S A MATCH. ❤️
Then what happens next is completely up to the two of you.
LET’S DO THE MATH. 😉
20 POTENTIAL DATES.
ONE NIGHT.
$45.
Compare that to paying for dinner or drinks on one mediocre first date. 😂
For $45, you’ll meet up to 20 singles face-to-face in one night.
No spending three weeks texting someone just to discover there’s absolutely ZERO chemistry when you finally meet.
No planning 20 different first dates.
No wondering if there’s a spark based on six photos and a dating profile.
You’ll know within minutes. 👀
And if you meet someone you want to see again?
Choose them.
If they choose you too…
❤️ IT’S A MATCH.
$45 • 21+ • ONLY 40 SPOTS
WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR?
For our first Speed Dating event, we’re intentionally keeping things small and simple so we can create the best possible matching experience.
There are only 40 tickets available:
👨 20 MEN SEEKING WOMEN
👩 20 WOMEN SEEKING MEN
When purchasing your ticket, simply choose the ticket that describes you.
This allows everyone attending to have the opportunity to meet up to 20 potential matches throughout the evening.
And this is just the beginning. 👀
We would LOVE to host additional Speed Dating nights in the future with different dating groups and formats based on interest.
So if this particular event isn’t designed for who you’re looking to meet, don’t worry…
There may be another ColeB Speed Dating night with your name all over it. ❤️
SOBER BY DESIGN.
Do you have to identify as sober to attend?
NOPE.
You don’t have to live a sober lifestyle.
You simply need to be comfortable attending a completely alcohol-free event.
Why?
Because we want the connection to be the interesting part.
No liquid courage.
No altered first impressions.
No waking up tomorrow wondering whether there was actually chemistry…
or just really good tequila. 😂
Whether you don’t drink, you’re sober, you’re taking a break from alcohol, you’re driving home, or you simply want to try something completely different…
YOU’RE WELCOME HERE.
BUT WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT?!
Don’t worry.
We’re not putting you across from a complete stranger and saying…
“Okay. GO!” 😂
We’ll have conversation starters and fun prompts available throughout the night to help break the ice.
So you don’t have to sit down across from someone cute and immediately forget every interesting thing you’ve ever known about yourself.
And remember…
“How old are you?” isn’t one of the questions. 😉
This isn’t a job interview.
You’re not there to interrogate each other.
You’re there to talk.
Laugh.
Flirt.
And see if there’s something worth exploring.
MAYBE YOUR “TYPE” ISN’T ACTUALLY YOUR TYPE.
Maybe you’ll meet someone you never would have selected on a dating app.
Maybe you’ll make a new friend.
Maybe you’ll have a hilarious story to tell tomorrow.
Maybe there will be absolutely NO spark with 19 people…
…and then number 20 sits down. 👀
Maybe you’ll meet someone and immediately think…
“Ohhhh shit.”
😂❤️
That’s what makes this fun.
You don’t know who is going to walk through that door.
And neither do they.
THE DETAILS
🔞 21+ ONLY
⚡ 40 SPOTS TOTAL
👨 20 Men Seeking Women

✨ 100% SOBER EVENT
🙈 AGE-BLIND SPEED DATING
📍 ColeB Photography — Vacaville, California
📅 November 20th
⏰ 7:00pm - 10:00pm
🎟️ $45.00
Advance registration is required.
Because we’re maintaining an even number of tickets for each dating group, each ticket type may sell out separately.
ONE MORE THING…
We mean it when we say age-blind.
You will be required to provide your date of birth privately during registration so we can verify that every participant is at least 21.
Your age will NOT be shared with the other participants by us.
And during the speed dating rotations, we’re asking everyone to respect the experience:
Don’t ask someone’s age.
Don’t volunteer your age.
Give yourself a few minutes to experience the PERSON before deciding how much the number matters to you.
If you mutually match afterward?
You’re both adults.
What you choose to talk about from there is completely up to you. 😉
FOR ONE NIGHT… FORGET THE NUMBER.
Forget the filters.
Forget the dating-app checklist.
Forget what you think your “type” is supposed to look like.
Walk into the room.
Meet someone.
Look them in the eyes.
Talk.
Laugh.
Flirt a little.
And see what happens when you decide whether you’re attracted to the PERSON before you know their age.
40 SINGLES.
ONE ROOM.
NO SWIPING.
NO ALCOHOL.
NO ASKING AGES.
Just real people, real conversations…
and maybe a little chemistry. ⚡️❤️
WHO KNOWS WHO YOU MIGHT MEET?
SPACES ARE LIMITED. RESERVE YOUR SEAT NOW.
AND BECAUSE IT'S AT COLEB... 👀

Consider it a little bonus for being brave enough to put down the dating app and show up in real life. 😉
Tickets are required (open to the public).
Ticket sales close November 16th (or sooner if sold out).
