Dates & Dumplings: A hands-on dumpling making class for Tampa Bay singles 🥟

📅 Wednesday, April 22 | 6:30-9:00 PM

📍 Retro House Coffee Bar & Asian Bistro | 934 E Henderson Ave, Tampa, FL 33605

Dates & Dumplings is a curated singles experience hosted by Date Different Tampa Bay (@datedifferenttpa) at Retro House, bringing together a handpicked group of singles under 40 for an evening of dumpling making, great conversation, and connection.

The event begins with a relaxed 30-minute check-in and mingle, giving you time to grab a drink, break the ice, and meet fellow singles. Guests will then enjoy a short introduction to the history and art of dumpling making, followed by a hands-on demo and guided dumpling wrapping experience. Throughout the evening, there will be plenty of time to connect and enjoy the dumplings you’ve made together, keeping the atmosphere fun and social.

Come solo, leave with dumplings… and maybe a spark. 🥟✨

‼️ This is an INVITE-ONLY event. To be considered, you MUST complete the separate Date Different Tampa Bay intake form (LINKED). The form takes about 20 minutes and helps us get to know you and what you're looking for in a match, so we can curate the right mix of people for the event.

Not sure if you've filled it out before? Email us! datedifferent.tpa@gmail.com

If you’ve already completed the intake form, you do NOT need to fill it out again. Just fill out your name, email address, and check the box below that you’ve already submitted it.

This is a highly curated event with very limited availability. We’re capping the group at 30 guests to keep the experience intimate and intentional, so not everyone who applies will be accepted. Our goal is to bring together the right mix of people for a great night of connection. 🥟

Includes a curated singles roster, a hands-on dumpling making experience, dumplings to enjoy (and take home), your first drink, and plenty of time to connect. 🥢
