Welcome to Missed connection Mondays!
What is it? This is the series we run after events, so if there was someone you liked but didn’t quite manage to get their contact info, we can try to connect you both. We update the blog on Mondays so keep an eye out….
How do I post one? You can fill out this form and after each event we will shout it out on here. If they then want to be connected and get in touch with us, we will share your contact info with them, however, we have some rules:
I think I’ve been shouted out! How do I connect? Please email the awesome Dillan at dillan@haystack-dating.com with the subject line “Missed Connection” & copy and paste the entry below that you believe is shouting you out into the email, and we will put you in touch 😊
Our big rule: No response is a response. If someone doesn’t come forward and give consent we cannot & will not try to contact them for you in any other way (we take safety and boundaries very seriously).
