The Take2 philosophy

Love deserves a second take.

Modern dating expects you to get everything right from the start. We judge the first impression, the follow-up text and everything in between. We think that's backwards.

So we design every experience around the second meeting. That's where the nerves settle, people loosen up and real chemistry has room to happen.

What we design for

Less performing. More meeting.

  • Showing up as yourself

    No performing, no judging, no pressure.

  • Meeting people in real life

    Getting to know someone the way it used to happen, in a room full of people.

  • Giving it a second chance

    The spark doesn't always show up the first time.

Mix and Repeat

Like a night out at the bar with your friends, but the room is full of singles. Come single, or come as a single friend's +1. Just not if it's complicated. Our biggest mixer yet.

How it works

We handle the awkward parts.

  1. 01

    A curated room.

    Every event is balanced 50:50. We believe in the power of the ratio.

  2. 02

    Show up and mingle.

    Some nights are speed dating, some have curated activities, and some are free-flowing mixers. We handle the icebreakers and the awkward parts.

  3. 03

    Phones away.

    We ask guests not to swap numbers or socials during the event, so the night stays about meeting people, not locking down a second date.

  4. 04

    We make the match.

    If the interest is mutual, we'll connect you after the event. We'll even handle the asking out.
