Pitch your mate and help them find true love or sit back and find the love of your life via the romantic medium of powerpoint!

Have you got a mate who’s too shy to put themselves out there but definitely ready to meet the love of their life?

Or maybe… that mate is you?

Welcome to Date My Mate, a two-hour event where confidence is optional and friendship is mandatory. Instead of awkward small talk, we’re handing you the clicker.

Participants will have up to four minutes to present a PowerPoint pitching their friend to a room full of potential suiters. Think: green flags, red flags, fun facts, embarrassing photos (used lovingly), and why this person is an absolute catch.

How it works:

Purchase a ticket to attend the event

You’ll receive a confirmation email with a google form to nominate yourself or a friend (this will be limited to 14 people)

We will let you know if you have been picked to present or not (sorry, we are limited on time, we can't give everybody the time!)

If choosen to present, you’ll get four glorious minutes to sell the dream

There will be a prize for the best presentation

No pressure. No swiping. Just slides, laughs, and maybe… love.

Ready to pitch perfection? 💘📈

Come alone to meet somebody new, or bring a friend!

What should my presentation include?

Show off your friend in the best light possible. Some pictures, their hobbies, what they think is the perfect date. Maybe even some of their unusal habits. Keep it fun and lighthearted and love will follow...!

Can I come alone?

Absolutely! Come alone and meet the love of your life or bring a friend to help them meet theirs.

Do I have to pitch?

Nope, not everybody needs to pitch somebody. We will be selecting a few people to pitch their friends and everybody else can enjoy the presentations!

My friend can't make it, can I still pitch them?

We want everybody that is being pitched to attend the event so that they can meet their potential suiters on the night, so yes they must be in attendance.

Does everybody need a ticket?

Yes, everybody that plans to come needs a ticket, whether presenting, being presented or just a spectator.

What is the age range?

This particular event is for those aged 21 to 35 years.

Applications?

Buying a ticket does not guarantee you will get to present, there is lots of presentations.

We do not accept people bringing presenations on the day or emailing last minute.

Date My Mate is brought to you by Alternative Dublin.
