1. Two Birds Fit
- Cost: $35–$50
This heart-pumping meetup pairs singles during a rotating schedule of exercise classes that include HIIT, yoga, crossfit, and cycling. After each session, daters keep their pulses racing by staying at the gym (the host studio changes weekly) to mingle, flirt, and, if the feeling is mutual, connect through the Two Birds Fit website. This month, look for love while navigating an inflatable obstacle course at Lafayette’s Bounce Empire (October 16) or practicing your yoga poses at BrewDog in Denver (October 19).
2. Dating in the Dark
- Cost: $20
Hosted by Denver comedian Hannah Popkin, this monthly event at Jackson’s LoDo subscribes to the same premise as Love Is Blind: A blindfolded single gets to know three blindfolded dates in front of a live audience. From fist bumps left hanging to fingers accidentally dipped in a date’s drink, clumsy interactions—along with Popkin’s narration and audience participation—help break the ice. The veils aren’t lifted until the contestant picks who they’d like to meet again.
3. Meet Cute Matchmaking
- Cost: Up to $50
Alessandra Guzman was so successful at pairing up her friends that she decided to make a career out of it, founding Boulder-based Meet Cute Matchmaking in 2024. For those who aren’t ready to commit to formal setups, Guzman also hosts speed-dating events in Boulder. Each session takes place in an inviting atmosphere—this month’s Vino & Vibes Singles Soirée will be held at Boulder’s Silver Vines Winery on October 2—to prompt conversation and genuine connection.
4. Swing Don’t Swipe
- Cost: $45
Swing Don’t Swipe’s bimonthly golf tournaments encourage Denver singles to get off the dating apps and onto the green. Tee things off on October 5 on Harvard Gulch’s par-three course, where the aim isn’t to post the lowest score, but rather to score points with one of your five playing companions. Afterward, head to the nearby picnic area to hobnob with the rest of the field over a round of Arnold Palmers.
