Black speed dating in Tampa.

Black Speed Dating Tampa

Black singles in Tampa Bay are everywhere and nowhere at once — East Tampa and Seminole Heights, Temple Terrace and USF, Brandon and Riverview, Wesley Chapel, and across the bay in south St. Petersburg. Big community, spread across a lot of highway. A Black speed dating night brings it into one room for an evening, with a host making sure everyone actually meets.

The night runs like every Speed Date Tampa event. Our host greets you, checks you in and seats you at a numbered table, and you have about ten five-minute dates with Black and African American singles in your age group. Afterwards you log in, tick the people you would like to see again, and we share contact details only when both of you said yes.

This is a room for people who want to meet someone who shares the culture without having to explain it. Professionals, creatives, people who just moved here for work and people whose families have been here for generations — five minutes is enough to find out who you want to keep talking to.

We run Black singles nights when there is enough interest to fill a balanced room. Join the mailing list and tell us you are interested, and we will email you the moment one is scheduled. In the meantime you are welcome at any of our regular Tampa Bay events, in person or on Zoom.

How a Speed Date Tampa night works

Reserve your seat online, arrive at the venue (or join the Zoom room for an online night), and our host checks you in and seats you at a numbered table. You have about ten five-minute dates with everyone in your group, with a short break in the middle. Afterwards you log in, choose who you’d like to see again, and we share contact details only for mutual matches.
