Speed dating and singles events for over 40, all in one place
Most NYC speed dating organizers run nights by age bracket, and "40s and 50s" or "45-60" rooms are now as common as the 20s nights. This page lists every upcoming event whose age range starts at 35 or later and reaches past 40, so you are not scrolling through nights aimed at people half your age.
Speed dating events are usually 90 minutes to two hours in a bar or lounge, with 8 to 12 short conversations and matches sent the next day. Mixers and dinners are looser: a hosted room, name tags, and a few prompts. Tickets run about $20 to $45; women's tickets often sell out first.
Filter by date, neighborhood or audience, then book directly with the organizer. Each event page shows the exact age range, the venue and the price before you leave Out There.
Singles events over 40 in NYC: common questions
Is there speed dating in NYC for people over 40?
Yes. Several organizers run dedicated nights for ages 40-55, 45-60 and 50+, usually in Manhattan bars and lounges, with a few in Brooklyn and Queens. This page lists every upcoming one.
What about over 50 and over 60?
Nights with a 50+ bracket are less frequent than 40s nights but run most months. The over-50 section lower on this page shows the ones currently listed; 60+ events appear there too when an organizer runs one.
How do the age ranges work?
Organizers set a range such as 40-55 and check it at the door. Some allow a year or two either side; the event page links to the organizer's rules. This page only lists events whose range starts at 35 or later and reaches 40 or above.
How much do these events cost?
Most speed dating tickets are $25 to $45 and mixers $15 to $35, paid to the organizer when you book. Free events are rare but show up here when they exist.
What formats are there besides speed dating?
Hosted mixers and happy hours, dinner clubs with seated tables, activity meetups such as walks and classes, and occasional themed parties. All formats appear here; speed dating is listed first.
