Queer Quality Dating (QQD) is Baltimore's original speed dating series to match folx of all LGBTQIA2S+ sexualities and gender expressions in the Baltimore who value community. Once you buy your ticket, complete Maria's match-making questionnaire as part of this dating process. Trust your gut. Put yourself out there! Get cute and social justice-y over cruelty-free food. Mocktails and Cocktails available! For ages 21-65+. Sign up for waiting list if spots become available. Follow Maria for the next QQD event and community discounts offered on her social media: https://www.instagram.com/maria__studios/
Below are the ground rules to participate in QQD (please read carefully):
1) Any racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, or ableist behavior will not be tolerated and person will be banned.
2) No refunds y'all. You may request to transfer your ticket with a 7-day notice with a charge of $10 to re-match you with a new pool of queer daters.
3) All daters complete a questionnaire designed by Maria ASAP. Check your spam folder! You will receive email reminders regularly.
4) You will receive a list of at least two potential matches that fit your criteria the best about 24 hours before the event in your email.
5) Daters are respectful and open-minded. If you're not feeling someone, maybe say "I'm feeling friendship" for example.
6) Arrive 15-30 minutes early for sign in and familiarize yourself with your matches. Once dating rounds start, listen to instructions. Based on how your questionnaire answers, find your seat based on a color-coordinated chart. If you're late, you will miss a potential match. Who wants that?!
7) After each pre-matched mini date, a questionnaire is completed per person with a "yes," "no" or "maybe" and section for brief notes/questions. You will receive texts from Maria with the name(s) and phone number of your match(es)! Go on a date with your match! Have fun!
8) It is not guaranteed that any dates will occur but hope you do go out! Come prepared to make a lot of cool new sexy friends! Ask Maria for advice along the way. ;)
