Sue and Di: Friends, Free Spirits, and Champions of Real-Life Connection

Sue and Di are long-time friends and kindred spirits — single ladies of a certain age with sharp minds, big hearts, and even bigger laughs. Bonded by years of friendship, shared bottles of wine, and countless conversations about life, love, and the absurdity of modern dating, they've become accidental experts in navigating relationships in the digital age.

Noticing a rise in popularity for old-school connection, they launched their own speed dating events and singles nights, creating relaxed, friendly spaces where people could meet face-to-face — no filters, no algorithms, just real conversation.

Their events are open to everyone, not just those “of a certain age,” because Sue and Di know that the search for love, companionship, or just a good chat is universal — and timeless.
