Let's Get Cheeky! Columbus Speed Dating 

From the event description:

Our events offer a fresh alternative to speed dating and matchmaking. We don't find anything romantic about whistles, nametags or over-the-top party trimmings typically found at singles events, so we have done away with them. Creating an atmosphere that is at once casual and comfortable, it's what we call cheeky-chic!

When: Saturday, Oct. 12, 7-9 p.m.
Where: Melt Bar and Grilled, 840 N. High St.
Admission: $29.95
