From the organizer:
We created Friendly Speed Dating because we believe in the power of human connection. We understand that dating can be difficult and sometimes intimidating, especially in a new city or country. Our events are designed to help people find meaningful relationships, friendships, and even just a fun night out. We are committed to creating a safe and welcoming space where everyone can feel comfortable and free to be themselves.
We’ve taken the best features of dating apps and brought them to the world of real-life dating. Over the couple hours you will meet new people and, if you have a mutual connection, have quick dates. To make sure that everyone can find people they are interested in we created a smart telegram bot. All the registration process takes place inside the telegram app.
Our events start from the introduction circle – while it’s happening you can use your phone to mark the names of the people you’re interested in getting to know better. The app will match you with people you have a mutual sympathy with. After each date, you’ll have time to mark what experience you’d like to share with the person. The app will notify you about matches in the wishes. Your date will know what you’ve chosen only if they choose the same things.
That’s the whole point of FSD. Our dating events provide a safe space for you to freely express your desires and connect with others. We organize events for both the local and international communities, so you’ll have the chance to meet people from all over the world. Whether you’re a newcomer to Istanbul or a long-time resident, our events are a great way to get out and meet new people in a fun and relaxed environment.
We are dedicated to creating a positive and inclusive community, and we welcome people of all backgrounds and identities. Our events are a judgment-free zone where you can be yourself and connect with others in a genuine way.
Right now, we have three different event formats:
Classic FSD events:
In a couple of hours, you’ll get to know 6-8 people with similar values. The bot will help you to connect with people who have the same desires as you do. Our events are not just about finding a romantic partner, but also about making new connections and expanding your social circle. To register or learn more, be sure to check out our official Instagram.
Queer dating:
The word “queer” has gone a long way from being a homophobic insult to a scientific and cultural term. It is no longer just about sexual orientation, but also about identity, self-identity, acceptance of our differences in all their diversity, and the freedom to be ourselves.
We created Queerdating not only to get to know each other, but also to share experiences, to build and strengthen bonds within the community, to make friends, and support each other, especially in difficult times. To register or learn more, be sure to check out our official Instagram.
Sensual Dating:
We are inviting people who value physical touch, who are open-minded and accepting of themselves and others, to come together for a Sensual Dating. It’s not a cuddle or a sex party, but an opportunity to meet sensual people and talk freely in a relaxed atmosphere. Our usual place will transform and be filled with candles, dim light, and relaxing music. The evening will begin with several games that will help you get to know each other and get in the right mood. After that, we will move on to dating.
You will be able to:
Meet new people and have a good time
Find friends or a date
Hug and hold hands with your matches if you both want to
Openly discuss topics of sex and sensual practices
LGBT+ and poly-friendly
To register or learn more, be sure to check out our official Instagram.
