Come hungry. Come curious. Come as you are.

Meeting new people as a single adult isn't always easy. Between dating apps, busy schedules, and everyday routines, finding opportunities to make new friends can feel surprisingly difficult.

At Connected, we believe the best relationships often begin with shared experiences, genuine conversation, and a little willingness to try something new.

That's why we're hosting our first-ever Connected Friendsgiving!

Join us at Taste Buds Kitchen in Bellevue for a fun, welcoming evening where we'll cook, laugh, share a meal, and get to know other singles in a relaxed, social setting.

Whether you're hoping to expand your social circle, make new friends, or simply enjoy a memorable night out, Friendsgiving offers something different from the typical singles event.

Coming solo? Perfect! You don't need to bring a friend or know anyone in advance. That's part of the fun!

And while you'll be meeting other singles, this isn't speed dating or matchmaking. There's no pressure to find a romantic partner—just an opportunity to enjoy yourself and see where conversations lead.

️ A Hands-On Cooking Experience

Roll up your sleeves and enjoy an interactive cooking experience at Taste Buds Kitchen. Preparing a meal together creates natural opportunities for conversation, laughter, and teamwork. Beer and wine can be purcharsed seperately.

Meet Other Singles

Spend time with people who are also interested in expanding their social circles. No awkward networking or pressure to impress—just good company and a shared experience.

A Welcoming Social Atmosphere

Enjoy a thoughtfully planned evening that makes it easier to strike up conversations, participate at your own comfort level, and feel included.

Get to Know Connected

Meet our founders, experience the kind of social events we're creating, and learn about our guided dating and relationship-skills program launching in January 2027.

No Dating Pressure

This isn't a singles mixer with forced introductions or romantic expectations. Come ready to have fun, try something new, and enjoy the evening.

Connected Friendsgiving is designed for single adults who:

• Want to meet other singles outside of dating apps.

• Enjoy cooking, food, and shared activities.
• Appreciate a relaxed alternative to traditional singles mixers.

Whether you're newly single, have been single for a while, or simply want to be more intentional about your social life, you're welcome here.

No dating pressure. No awkward matchmaking. Just a fun evening with people who are open to meeting someone new.

Connected is more than dating. It's about learning how to build relationships that last.

Founded by two women passionate about relationships and human connection, Connected is a guided dating and relationship-skills experience designed to help singles develop the confidence, awareness, and skills that support healthy, lasting relationships.

Our program goes beyond traditional dating by combining relationship education, guided practice, coaching, and social experiences.

We believe successful relationships aren't just about finding the right person. They're also about developing the skills to create and sustain them.

Our first cohort begins in January 2027, and Friendsgiving is a great opportunity to meet the founders, learn about our approach, and get a feel for what we're creating.

There's no obligation to join the program.

Sometimes all it takes is a shared experience and a simple hello.

Come for the food. Stay for the fun. Leave with new friends and a taste of Connected.
