Singles looking for someone special to spend America’s second most heart-shaped holiday with, or those just looking to meet new people can attract hundreds of nonattached new friends during this series of four-minute speed dates aimed at singles in the 20s to mid-30s range. Each participant will be given a name tag and number before being placed in line across from members of the more confusing sex. Eligible guests will then fish for a potential love match during a series of four-minute mini rendezvous, allowing them to venture upon a dozen first dates over the course of the evening. At the end of the night, participants can subtly submit the number of anyone they felt a connection with and if the urge to mingle was mutual, Things To Do will help the bar-crossed lovers exchange contact information.

A new feature of the upcoming event is the ability to send secret admirer notes to people with whom you didn't get a chance to chat. Simply note their number before racking your brain for an applicable sonnet, and your message will be submitted to them after the event, allowing them a chance to woo back at their own discretion. The open bar will help loosen post-12th date jitters from 9 to 10 p.m., and those who didn't get a chance to unhinge their hips during the event can linger at Ultrabar to enjoy an all-night DJ dance party. Attendees should dress to impress.
