Dating shouldn’t feel like a second job.
Yet today, there’s a real lack of integrity in online dating.
Endless swiping.
Conversations that go nowhere.
Putting time and effort into connecting with someone, only to have them disappear or cancel at the last minute.
It’s frustrating.
Introducing Dial-Up Dating from Throwback Dating... a refreshing alternative to the dating apps.
This guided and interactive, virtual experience invites you to reconnect with the part of dating that actually matters most: conversation.
January marks the beginning of peak dating season and this is your chance to try a fun, human dating experience you’ll actually enjoy.
This Month's Theme
What Makes Someone Feel “Easy to Talk To”
We’ll explore the subtle behaviors that make someone feel easy to talk to, and give you space to practice them in real conversations.
What to Expect
✔ A short, guided teaching on the month’s topic
✔ Thoughtfully structured one-on-one breakout conversations
✔ A low-pressure, respectful environment
✔ Clear prompts so you’re never wondering “what should I say?”
✔ A focus on how you connect, not how you look or impress
You’ll be paired with different participants throughout the experience, giving you the opportunity to practice real conversation in a relaxed, intentional way.

Are tired of dating apps and are open to a more human alternative
Value real conversation, integrity, and emotional maturity
Want to feel more confident, relaxed, and natural when meeting new people
Are open to learning and growing in how they show up in dating
