Sometimes it can be hard to meet new people when you move to a new place. Boise, Idaho is notorious for being one of the nicest and most welcoming communities in the country. Anyone who moves here instantly feels right at home thanks to the lovely community. While it’s not hard to meet nice people, making bonds can be harder than it may seem.

The idea of speed dating has always been used as a way to see who you could connect with quickly and possibly spark up a new relationship. You may have heard of, been interested in, or even done speed dating, but have you ever heard of speed friending? It seems to be exactly what it sounds like, a way to speed date but make friends!

Crowd Match Making is a speed dating event being held on January 23rd at Watson's Mystery Cafe and Spirits Boise by Boise Speed Dating and Watson's Mystery Cafe and Spirits. As long as you are feeling social you should save the date in your calendar as there’s going to be lots of great people to meet as well as all of the delicious food options in the The Warehouse to choose from.

With Valentine's Day steadily approaching this event is perfect for anyone and everyone who just wants to get out there and meet new people, no matter what the circumstances of that may be. The best part is, it’s only $30! All you have to do is be there and you’re guaranteed to leave with a smile and a new friend.
