Single Awareness Dinner Monthly: Norfolk | Ladies Edition

March 2 2026

7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Restaurant of the Month - TBD Orapax Street Norfolk, VA 23507, Price: $23

Celebrate your singleness and make new friends over dinner! Connect with other happily single ladies in the local area.

Single ladies and foodies🍱

Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. You sign up and we book the restaurant. Connect with other women in the city and make new friends with fellow singles, while supporting a local business.

Our micro-gatherings are intended to be for 6 people or less. Check out our feature in Eventbrite’s 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

This is not directly associated with the restaurant of the week, but rather based on a table reservation via Opentable or Resy or other online platforms. The pin 📌 on the map on Eventbrite is just a placeholder since the reservation we make ultimately depends on overall headcount closer to the date, and per the dietary preferences of the registrants based on our questionnaire. Restaurants are shared with registrants only. Feel free to contact us with questions prior to signing up.

How does it work?

After you register, you’ll be emailed an introduction message including a quick questionnaire regarding age, hobbies, interests, and dietary preferences. Our goal is to coordinate nights of 4-6 members.

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases. It ensures you commit to actually showing up, and it helps our team’s endeavors.

Our vision is simple: we take the no gimmicks approach to networking. No need for yet another app to take up space on your phone – just four walls and a roof and good food for people to connect 🙂 We coordinate with you directly, human-to-human. 🤖

If you have any more questions, please contact ermantourageimpact@gmail.com!

(Become a monthly subscriber via Patreon for community gatherings not listed on this calendar, for giveaways, and to connect with both local and global members!)
