We are Tami and Amy, Master’s educated family and relationship experts who met in high school, went to the same college, chose the same bachelor’s degree, co-led the Family Science Student Association, developed curriculum, and graduated together in 1997.

We went on to marry fabulous spouses and raise amazing children while we continued with the study, research, teaching, and business of improving relationships.

After pursuing higher education (this time, separately) we’re once again joining forces to improve IRL dating options, create more fully connected relationships, and bring the fun back to dating in today’s digitally saturated world.

We’re committed to assisting others in finding compatible singles to meet and date, while keeping costs low, and enjoyment high!

Our one of a kind full-day Dating Adventures are an exciting way to meet compatible singles, build new connections, practice dating skills, and create lasting memories.

These exclusive events are designed for singles wanting to get out, get social, meet new friends, practice dating skills, participate in unique and memorable "mini-dates,” or simply spend an exciting day with friends, mixing with other compatible singles.

We’ll give you a day full of interesting options, you’ll customize the day to suit your interests!

Through a series of self-evaluations (5-Step Personal Profiles), you will be entered into our database, where you’ll identify dating events and activities that interest you. We will then form groups of compatible candidates who share similar core values and alert you of events that match your criteria.

You can choose to “speed date” attendees online prior to the event, meet compatible set-ups at the event, or simply attend the main event, ready to mix and mingle at the level of your choice.

Our Dating Adventures make it easy, safe, and affordable to meet other compatible singles.

Date up to 10 people in one day for an average of $30 per date, and meet between 50-200 other singles.

Whether you select group dates, solo dates, or date-free time to interact with other singles, all will occur in a public area of our choosing. Participants are asked not to go off on their own during the event for the safety of our members.

Fun activities, good food, and pre-arranged dates are all included in the cost of events. There is no obligation to attend events once you become part of our database.

Here’s what ‘s covered in our
Five-Step Personal Profiles. Your profiles will never be shared with anyone. Only a short summary bio—that you create and approve—will be seen by others who are attending your same event.
