💛 Our Moment of Honesty: How Often Our Events Run as Planned — And Why Transparency Matters Worldwide

There’s a certain honesty required in dating — the kind that looks another person in the eye and says:

“Here’s who I am. No filters. No clever angles. Just me.”

So today, we’re doing exactly that.

This is our own moment of honesty — a clear, open look at how often our events run as planned, what occasionally shifts the night, and why we remain committed to being the most reliable, human-first dating experience anywhere in the world.

Because transparency isn’t just good business.
It’s good dating.

🌍🌟 The Numbers — 2025 So Far (Worldwide)

We reviewed all events across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Europe, Asia-Pacific, and beyond from January through September, and here’s the truth:

• 82% of events ran as originally scheduled

• 18% were rescheduled due to a variety of human-first factors

• (Guests are always welcome to choose any future event — your ticket never expires.)

We’ve never believed in leaving someone without an option.
Not once.
Not ever.

Is that a perfect record?
Not quite.

Is it honest?
Absolutely.

And honesty is how real relationships — and real communities — are built.

💛 Why Some Events Get Rescheduled

(And Why We Won’t Pretend Otherwise)

The #1 reason an event gets moved?

Fellow daters needing to reschedule.

Real life has opinions.

Work runs late.
Flights shift.
A sitter cancels.
Someone catches a cold.
And sometimes, despite reserving, a dater simply feels:

“Tonight just isn’t my night.”

We get it.

Alongside that, a few other factors occasionally play a part:

• Turnout balance (we won’t run an event where one side significantly outnumbers the other)

• Weather

• Venue conflicts (private parties running long, staff changes, unexpected events)

• The wonderfully busy lives of our daters

When the guest list shifts in a way that affects the quality of the night, we won’t force an imperfect experience.

Instead, we pause and say:

“Let’s create a better experience for everyone.”

It’s the slower choice.
The kinder choice.
And the right one.

🏛️ Venue Issues (A Less Glamorous Truth — Worldwide Edition)

Every city has that one venue we adore — until:

• their private event goes long,

• management rotates,

• the street festival explodes outside the door, or

• the home sports team pulls off an overtime miracle.

When that happens, here’s what we do:

• Secure the next possible date immediately

• Reach out to every guest personally

• Offer unlimited rebooking (your ticket never expires, anywhere in the world)

You’re never left guessing.
You’re never left stranded.
You’re never left without options.

🔧 What We’re Improving in 2025 (Globally)

We’re not perfect — but we are committed to being thoughtful, clear, and consistently better.

Here’s what we’re enhancing around the world to make reliability our love language:

1. Earlier communication with guests
   We always try to give as much notice as we receive. When we know early, you know early.
   In 2025, we’re tightening those communication windows so updates reach you faster.

2. Encouraging daters to give us more notice
   Life happens — and we fully understand that.
   But when daters need to reschedule, earlier notice helps us relay that information to the remaining guests, maintain balance, and avoid last-minute surprises for everyone.

3. New automated balancing tools
   We now receive real-time alerts when attendance begins to shift.
   This helps us adjust earlier and save more events.

4. Expanded host teams in major cities worldwide
   More hosts across more cities means more flexibility, smoother operations, and fewer disruptions.

5. Global ticket flexibility
   Your ticket is welcome at any event, in any city, whenever you feel ready — one of the key ways we ensure no night is ever truly “canceled.”

Reliability isn’t about perfection.
It’s about preparation, communication, and choices.

💬 A Final Note — From Us to You

Across the world, daters share one universal truth:

Your time is precious.

We know you’ve rearranged dinners.
Swapped shifts.
Left the office early.
Planned outfits.
Talked yourself into being brave.
Or simply decided that it was time to put yourself out there again.

So we treat your time — and your courage — with care.

Real dating is messy, unpredictable, and beautifully human.
So are we.

But here’s what we promise:

Every improvement we make is designed to give you the kind of evening that reminds you what connection can feel like —

human
warm
alive
and absolutely worth showing up for.

Until then —
stay cheeky,
stay hopeful,
and keep saying yes to what feels good.
