Speed dating for over 60s: Make new acquaintances over coffee and cake!
On July 14, 2025, an exciting opportunity to make new acquaintances will be offered in Altenburger Land: speed dating for everyone over 60. The event is organized by the Evangelical Church of Altenburg and the Malteser Hilfedienst e.V. and is part of the Thuringian state government's AGATHE program. As Altenburger Land reports, the participants can quickly get into conversation in a relaxed atmosphere.
The principle of speed dating is simple: The participants sit opposite each other in pairs and have a certain amount of time to introduce themselves and chat with each other. A person then moves on to the next place, which makes numerous interesting encounters possible in a short space of time. Afterwards, you can talk about your first impressions and new acquaintances over coffee, cake and hearty snacks.
Community and sociability
The special appeal of the event lies in the opportunity to make new social contacts without financial hurdles. There is no cost for participants, but donations are welcome. After speed dating, there is also plenty of opportunity to exchange ideas and get to know each other. AGATHE also offers information about other offers in the area that help combat social loneliness.
Each participant has seven minutes to get to know each other and make notes about likeable people. After the event, the evaluation of the sympathies can be done from the comfort of your own home. Within 48 hours, participants will be informed whether there were any matches and the relevant contact details will be exchanged. As can be read on Speeddating.de, this format is suitable for people of all ages, especially those over 50.
Organizing the event in social spaces offers a valuable contribution to strengthening the community by allowing conversations to take place at home. Whether with or without close people, the conversations can be ended at any time, which creates a relaxed atmosphere.
Speed dating for over 60s is a great opportunity to make new friends in good company and maybe even find the right partner. The initiative shows how important it is to actively seek contact with other people even as you get older and to have a lot of fun doing it.
