In the Words of MyCheekyDate
Some people come to speed dating for romance.
Some come for the story.
(Some come because their group chat bullied them into it.)
Some come because they’re tired of swiping and want to hear an actual human voice again.
And then there are the ones we quietly adore:
The ones who arrive with a soft heart.
The ones who tip the bartender extra because they “used to work service.”
The ones who compliment a stranger’s laugh.
The ones who light up talking about their rescue dog or the cat who changed their life.
The ones who’ve lost someone… and still show up with hope anyway.
And that’s when we realized something:
Connection doesn’t end at romance.
Sometimes connection becomes community.
Sometimes it becomes generosity.
Sometimes it becomes, “How can I do something good while I’m doing something brave?”
So we created something simple, and very us:
💛 Dating That Gives Back
It’s a dedicated page on our site that gathers our two give-back initiatives in one place — because kindness shouldn’t require a themed night, a special city, or a particular month on the calendar.
You can explore it here:
Dating That Gives Back →
And inside it you’ll find two initiatives we’re deeply proud of:
💛 Nights for Suzanne
Fighting cancer, together — your way.
Some causes are personal.
Nights for Suzanne exists for anyone who wants to support the fight against cancer in a way that feels real — and transparent.
No middleman.
No guessing.
No “where did it go?”
You choose any cancer charity you believe in.
You donate the value of your ticket or package directly to them.
You let us know you’ve contributed.
And we credit your experience in return.
It’s simple. It’s human. And it lets giving feel personal again.
🐾 A Night for Patches
For the animal lovers who basically date in the presence of their dog anyway.
You know the type.
“If my dog doesn’t like you, it won’t work.”
“My cat is my soulmate.”
“I foster. I rescue. I cry at adoption videos.”
(We see you. We are you.)
A Night for Patches is for every guest who loves animals in that tender, protective way — and wants their night out to support the creatures who need it most.
Same idea:
Pick any animal charity you love — shelter, rescue, sanctuary, wildlife organization.
Donate the value of your ticket or package directly to them.
Send us proof.
We’ll credit your experience.
Because love isn’t just romantic.
Sometimes it has paws.
✨ Why We Built This
Because giving back shouldn’t feel like a marketing campaign.
It should feel like a choice.
A quiet one.
A meaningful one.
And because so many of our guests are exactly the kind of people who want their lives to stand for something — even in the middle of dating.
You’re already doing something brave by showing up in real life.
Why not let it ripple outward?
💛 If You Want to Join In
Everything lives on the main page:
And whether you’re coming to an event, booking matchmaking, or doing coaching, the invitation is the same:
Choose a cause you care about.
Give directly.
Let us know.
We’ll take care of the rest.
Because dating can be fun.
But dating with heart?
That’s the Cheeky way.
