Prompts about happiness and what a close friend should know give this guided social event a more personal starting point. Participants can pass on a question and decide how much to share.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
A prompt about when someone feels happiest sets a different tone from the usual first-meeting exchange. At Skip the Small Talk- Millennial Speed-Dating, questions are meant to get conversation moving, while participants remain free to answer, choose another prompt or share less.
The examples range from reflecting on moments of happiness to considering what a person hoping to become a close friend ought to know. They provide a way into a conversation rather than a requirement to disclose anything in particular.
The listing says the event has a structured format to help people talk and avoid awkward stretches. It also emphasizes choice: attendees may pass on a question and decide for themselves how much to reveal. That balance is central to the announced format—more guided than open mingling, without a stated expectation that everyone answer every prompt.
