THURSDAY | VALENTINE AI MATCH | BUCHAREST

Just a bar, everyone single. Because the world in 2026 is all about meeting IRL, not on dating apps!

THURSDAY 12TH February
📍 Ganesha Caffe Victoriei
⏰ 7PM – 10PM
Singles Only

Looking for a Valentine who actually exists outside an app?

Find your match for the most romantic day of the year somewhere fun and social.

Join us at GANESHA CAFFE VICTORIEI for a night of great drinks, good vibes, and discovering who your most compatible match in the room might be.

Matching will be powered by Matchbox. It’s a software that uses relationship science to find you your most compatible match at the party. The algorithm has matched more than half a million people to date, across 40 countries. It optimizes for long-term compatibility, based on values, but it’s up to you to see if you’ll click.

🧠 HOW IT WORKS

Upon arrival, you’ll take a short matching questionnaire built by Matchbox’s research team and curated by your host.

The Matchbox algorithm uses relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning behavioral economics to identify your optimal match in the room.

After mingling with the whole group, a series of clues brings you closer.

Matches are revealed later in the night.

Who it’s for:

This event is for people 25 to 40 years.

What to expect:

The matching process is highly intentional—come with an open mind.

If your match isn’t love at first sight, that’s okay!

The algorithm is designed for long-term compatibility, so at baseline, you’ll be values-aligned.

At the end of the day, this will be a great group of single people. Enjoy meeting everyone, and remember to be kind.

FAQs:

Q: What if I don’t get a match?
A: We aim to maintain a 50/50 male to female ratio but cannot guarantee that all attendees will show up, as life happens. If there is an uneven split, some matches will be paired platonically.
These people receive a free ticket to a future event of their choice, valid for 60 days after this event.

Many attendees (40%) come by themselves, so even if you’re the only single in your friendship group, don’t hesitate to join us solo. You’ll find yourself in great company.
