Kyndred Presents : Get Better At First Dates
We've all left a first date thinking "That went great!" - only to get ghosted the next day.
What if you could practice a date, get honest feedback, and walk into the real thing knowing what lands and what flops?
Meet a Kynder—your live practice partner.
Kynders range from dating coaches and improv teachers to bartenders who’ve watched thousands of first dates unfold. Book a 60‑minute in‑person session, then receive candid, written feedback within 24 hours. Kyndred is a mock‑date learning platform—NOT a dating app—so you can refine your game before it counts.
On Tuesday, July 16, we're gathering three of NYC's favorite dating coaches - Brandon Dawkins, Stevie Bowen and Elle Wilson - for a cozy panel + mixer where they'll share the mindsets and micro-skills that actually move relationships forward:
turning everyday errands into organic meet‑cutes
starting conversations that don’t feel like pickup lines
following through so numbers become second dates
using apps as a support tool, not a time sink
live demo of how a Kyndred mock‑date and feedback report work
Drinks, light snacks, and plenty of real talk included. You'll leave with at least one tactic you can try this week plus an invite-only code to test Kyndred for yourself.
Tickets & Venue Minimum:
First 40 RSVPs - FREE (our treat)
First #41 and up RSVPs - $10 to cover the venue’s per‑guest fee
If you claim a free spot but can't attend, please release it so someone else can use it.
Seats are limited - RSVP now and start dating with feedback, not guesswork.
