    Each listing says who it is for, where it is and what it costs.

The practice deck

A deck of challenges for talking to strangers.

Most people do not freeze for want of a line. They freeze because saying hello feels like a risk. The deck makes it a small one: one challenge, five minutes, one real person. Then a slightly harder one.

How a challenge goes.

  1. 1

    Say where you are.

    Street and park, gym, café and bookshop, bar and party, errands and transit. The deck deals only what fits the place.

  2. 2

    Double tap a card.

    A five minute timer starts. Long enough to do it, too short to talk yourself out of it.

  3. 3

    Do it, then mark it done.

    Each one counts toward the next tier, and the deck answers with something a little harder.

None of it is needed to go to an event. It is why walking into one gets easier.

Questions.

What is Poise?

Poise is an app that lists singles events and dating events run by independent hosts: singles nights, speed dating, singles socials and parties. You browse what is on in your city, pick a night and book with the host. It is available for iPhone and Android.

How do I find singles events near me?

Look up your city on Poise, in the app or at poisedating.co/events. Poise lists the singles nights, speed dating, socials and parties coming up there, with the venue, the time and the price of each.

Which cities have singles events on Poise?

Poise lists singles events wherever a host has one on. As of 12 October 2026, that includes London, Guildford, Glasgow and Edinburgh. The list changes as hosts add nights, and the current one is at poisedating.co/cities.

How do I book a ticket?

Find the night on Poise and open its listing. The Get tickets button opens the host's own ticket page, where you book and pay under the host's terms. Poise does not sell tickets.

Can I go to a singles event on my own?

Yes. Most people at a singles event come on their own, and the hosts expect it. Every listing on Poise says who the night is for and how the host runs it, so you can pick one that suits you.

How much does Poise cost?

The app is free to download, and browsing events and clubs is free. Tickets are sold by the host at the price on the listing. A subscription is optional and adds the practice deck, the lessons and your progress.

What is the practice deck?

A deck of more than 300 five minute challenges about talking to strangers, in seven tiers. The first tier is one line to one person. The last is asking for a phone number. You say where you are, double tap a card, and a five minute timer starts. The Daily challenge is free. The deck and the lessons are part of the subscription.

Put the apps down. Pick a night. Go.
