The event series will kick off in Los Angeles on Oct 4 and in San Francisco on Nov 1

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- #DateWeek, a new event series for singles tired of dating apps and craving real in-person connections, is launching in California this October. The inaugural series is presented by Paloma, the text message-centered dating platform for relationship-ready singles that matches members based on compatibility. #DateWeek is bringing back IRL dating with a calendar of activities for California locals looking to find love.

With events hosted by top bars, restaurants, fitness studios, and social clubs, singles will have the opportunity to meet new people who share similar interests and hobbies, explore new venues and activities, and hopefully find a romantic spark.

"California is brimming with eligible singles and enchanting venues. #DateWeek is our love letter to both. Whether you're into breaking a sweat or breaking bread, there's something to set everyone's heart racing. Who knows? You might just fall head over heels for a new local hotspot while you're at it!" said Luba Yudasina, CEO and Founder of Paloma.

#DateWeek will kick off in Los Angeles from October 4-11, and the week-long series will then make its way to San Francisco from November 1-8. Activities and featured events will be customized and announced at each location, and includes options such as:

• Fitness Activities: Get your heart pumping at BARRY'S, SoulCycle, FITSTOP Santa Monica, or F45. You might just meet your swolemate!
• Creative Experiences: Find your pottery-making meet-cute, roll into romance at sushi-making classes, or raise a glass to love at wine bingo.
• Dating Opps for the Career-Driven: For those looking for an ambitious partner who can fuel them both personally and professionally, there will be events hosted by elite professional clubs like The Adventure Capitalists
• Group Get-Togethers: Community clubs like The Picnic Club will host larger group events to connect people with similar hobbies. It's a great way to serve up some love or snack your way to soulmates!
• Mixers for the Social Butterflies: Mingle with other like-minded socialites at Winston House, Hotel Erwin, and 1212 and more
• Food-Focused Events: They say the quickest way to someone's heart is through their stomach – fellow foodies can drink and eat the night away at hotspots like SOGNO TOSCANO and Lanea.

Paloma will also be throwing a VIP party at The Penmar, one of LA's top destinations for singles. The venue hosts Friday Sunset Sessions that bring 2,000-3,000 of LA's finest together to enjoy live music, food, drinks, and community. Attendees will sport glow bracelets to make it easy to spot who is single or taken so you can get your flirt on.
