OVER THE RAINBOW

Monthly LGBTIQA+ Dating Events for Over 40's in Victoria

FYI this is NOT a speed dating event! All of our activities are group-based, optional, fun and much less pressure than speed dating! Think community vibes.

WHEN:

SUMMARY:

Melbourne Comedians Nelly Thomas and Dean Arcuri are running a series of 'Dating and Connection' events for LGBTIQA+ folks over the age of 40. Both Nelly and Dean have been navigating dating in their forties and fifties and they will help you on this exciting - but sometimes daunting - journey in all it’s glorious forms.

Dating with the help of two Fairy Godmothers!
 

WHY:

• We want to hang out with people our own age.

• We want real connection & conversation and not swiping.

• We're not into loud music, endless partying, swiping and all that other stuff!

• Old Fashioned Romance is not mandatory but it sure is encouraged. 

• Effort is hot.

• Good, clear communication and boundaries are encouraged.

It’s never too late to find love

WHO IS OVER THE RAINBOW FOR?

• Everyone under the LGBTIQA+ rainbow is welcome as long as you are over the age of 40.

• All genders will be adored!

• All sexualities will be loved!

• If you're shy, Nelly and Dean will lend a hand.

• If you came out later in life, we welcome you into the community.

• Rural and Regional folks encouraged to attend: farmer wants a husband! Milkmaid wants a wife!

Our focus will be on FUN (events)

FREE AGREEMENT(between all) and

FEELING comfortable (in the community)

There will be some structured activities and dates, but nothing will be forced.

There will be 'chillout' and 'quiet' spaces available.

Consent and Respect - of all kinds - will be paramount.

There will be designated 'safe people' to give you a hand and some support if you need.

Come together in a relaxed and safe space with people your own age where you might meet a date, a friend or someone you'd like to introduce to a friend.
