Thursday | Booked for Romance | St. Petersburg

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

Find Your Next Chapter: A Night of Mystery Matching at The Book Lounge 💕📚

Looking for a little romance? Come spend an evening with us at The Book Lounge, Downtown St. Pete’s coziest adult fiction bookstore.

Get ready for a Mystery Matching Night! At the start of the event, you’ll fill out a fun questionnaire, and we’ll do the rest.  No swiping here!

Every ticket includes a complimentary glass of wine or tea, plus small nibbles 

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 matching questionnaire built by Matchbox’s team of relationship scientists and curated by your host.
• The Matchbox algorithm will identify your optimal match at the party, based on relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning economics.
• After mingling with the whole group, matches are revealed!

Must arrive before 730PM to be matched
