Speed Dating Social Events In Box Hill
Speed dating in Box Hill makes sense if you want to meet people in the eastern suburbs without spending weeks stuck in app chats that go nowhere. You are likely to meet singles from Box Hill, Box Hill South, Mont Albert, Blackburn, Surrey Hills, Balwyn, Doncaster, Burwood, Mitcham and Glen Waverley. That is the useful part. If you match with someone, coffee, food or a walk nearby is realistic instead of a whole cross city mission.
The night itself is simple. You arrive, check in, have a quick mingle, then move through short five minute chats. Box Hill is a good location for this because it is already a major transport and food hub. Box Hill Station is on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines, the 109 tram terminates at Box Hill Central on Whitehorse Road, and the 903 SmartBus runs through Box Hill as part of its orbital route. That makes it easier for people coming from different parts of the east.
For conversation, use actual Box Hill references. Ask whether they are more Box Hill Central, Station Street, Whitehorse Road, Carrington Road or Doncaster. Ask where they go for food, whether they work or study nearby, and whether they usually train, tram, bus or drive. Box Hill has a big hospital, education, apartment and shopping crowd, so you do not need fake icebreakers. Normal local questions are enough.
If you match with someone, keep the follow up easy. Zero Mode is at G03, 850 Whitehorse Road and describes itself as a modern Australian cafe during the day and Asian fusion eatery at night. The Penny Drop is a 100 seat restaurant on the ground floor of the refurbished ATO building on Whitehorse Road. Box Hill Central is at 1 Main Street and is the obvious simple meeting point. Start with coffee or food, then see if the conversation is still good.
How It Works
Box Hill Dates. Real Matches.
🤍
The Box Hill format is pretty simple. You book a ticket, arrive, check in with the host, and get set up with the matching system on your phone. Most nights start with a short mingle so the room feels less awkward before the timed dates start. If the venue is around Whitehorse Road, Station Street, Main Street or Carrington Road, plan your transport because Box Hill can get busy around dinner time.
Once the rounds start, you get a run of short chats, usually around five minutes each. That is enough time to work out whether someone is easy to talk to, but not enough for a full life story. Ask normal local questions: are they from Box Hill, Blackburn, Mont Albert, Balwyn, Doncaster or Burwood, do they train, tram, bus or drive, and where would they actually go for a second date?
The matching part is private. After each chat, you mark who you would like to see again on your phone. If both people choose each other, contact details are shared after the event. That means you do not need to ask for a number at the table, and nobody has to deal with a face to face rejection. It keeps the night much easier.
For a follow up, keep it close and simple. Box Hill Central is the obvious meeting point, The Penny Drop on Whitehorse Road works for coffee or food, and Zero Mode is another real Whitehorse Road option if you want something casual. If you both want a walk instead of sitting down again, Box Hill Gardens is a straightforward daytime idea.
How The Night Runs
You check in, have a short mingle, do quick dates, choose privately on your phone, then get mutual matches after the event.
✓
Plan the trip
Box Hill is easy to reach, but it is busy. Box Hill Station is on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines, the 109 tram terminates at Box Hill Central, and the 903 SmartBus runs through Box Hill. If you are driving, allow time for traffic and parking around Whitehorse Road, Station Street and Box Hill Central. Arriving calm helps more than people think.
✓
Use the mingle
The short mingle before the rounds is not wasted time. Use it to settle in, grab water or a drink, and get used to the room. If you feel awkward, that is normal. Start with easy questions like whether someone is local, whether they work near Box Hill, or whether they came from Blackburn, Doncaster, Balwyn, Burwood or somewhere else nearby.
✓
Keep chats normal
Five minutes goes fast, so skip the big life story. Ask where they are based, whether they train, tram, bus or drive, and what they actually do after work. Box Hill has hospitals, education, retail, apartments and a big food scene, so local questions work well. You are looking for an easy conversation, not a perfect pitch.
✓
Follow up simply
If you get a match, send a short message and suggest something realistic. Coffee at The Penny Drop, food at Zero Mode, meeting inside Box Hill Central, or a daytime walk at Box Hill Gardens are all easier than planning a huge dinner straight away. A good second date should be simple enough that both people can say yes.
Who You’ll Meet
Box Hill Singles. Eastern, Diverse, Local.
🤍
The Box Hill dating crowd is usually a proper eastern suburbs mix, not just one type of person. You might meet singles from Box Hill, Box Hill South, Mont Albert, Blackburn, Surrey Hills, Balwyn, Doncaster, Burwood, Mitcham and Glen Waverley. That is useful because a second date can stay local. Coffee at Box Hill Central, food near Station Street, or a walk through Box Hill Gardens is much easier than trying to organise something across Melbourne.
You are likely to meet people connected to the big local anchors. Box Hill Hospital is on Nelson Road and is a major health employer, and Epworth Eastern is around Arnold Street near Box Hill Central. Deakin’s Burwood campus is nearby, and Box Hill Institute has Box Hill campuses including Elgar Road and Whitehorse Road. So health workers, students, TAFE students, teachers, admin staff, retail workers and office workers are all realistic.
The local food and culture mix is also a big part of the area. Box Hill Central is the obvious meeting point, and the streets around Station Street, Carrington Road, Whitehorse Road and Main Street are packed with restaurants, groceries, cafes and late food options. That gives you better conversation than fake icebreakers. Ask where they actually eat, whether they rate Box Hill for dumplings or hotpot, and whether they usually train, tram, bus or drive in.
Single parents and people dating again after a break should keep it honest but not too heavy. You can mention kids, study, shift work or family commitments if it comes up, but five minutes is not the time for a full life admin chat. If there is a match, keep the follow up simple: coffee near Box Hill Central, lunch around Station Street, a walk at Box Hill Gardens, or something closer to Blackburn, Mont Albert or Doncaster if that works better.
The Box Hill Dating Crowd
Expect a real eastern suburbs mix: health workers, students, teachers, retail staff, office workers, parents, mature daters and singles from Box Hill, Mont Albert, Blackburn, Doncaster and Burwood.
✓
Health and hospital workers
Box Hill has a serious health worker catchment. Box Hill Hospital is on Nelson Road, and Epworth Eastern is near Box Hill Central around Arnold Street. That means nurses, doctors, allied health workers, admin staff, specialists, students on placement and shift workers are all realistic people to meet. If someone works in health, ask what their schedule is actually like before assuming a normal weeknight date will be easy.
✓
Students and study crowd
Box Hill is not only a shopping and food hub. Box Hill Institute has local campuses including Elgar Road and Whitehorse Road, and Deakin’s Burwood campus is close enough that students and graduates can be part of the dating pool. You might meet people studying nursing, business, trades, design, IT, hospitality or community services. Good questions are what they are studying, whether they work as well, and whether they plan to stay in the east.
✓
Food and apartment locals
Box Hill Central and the streets around Station Street, Carrington Road, Whitehorse Road and Main Street bring in a lot of people who live, work, shop or eat nearby. Box Hill has also grown into a major apartment and transport hub, so the crowd can include renters, professionals, international students, retail workers and people who moved there because it is convenient. Ask where they actually go for food, coffee or groceries.
✓
Nearby suburb matches
A Box Hill event should pull from nearby suburbs that make dating realistic: Mont Albert, Blackburn, Surrey Hills, Balwyn, Doncaster, Burwood, Mitcham and Glen Waverley. That matters because a match is easier when both people can meet near Box Hill Station, Box Hill Central, a tram stop or a bus route. Keep the first follow up low pressure: coffee, a short meal, or a daytime walk rather than a huge formal dinner.
What To Wear And Say
Smart Casual. Real Conversation.
🤍
Box Hill speed dating is easier when you look neat, feel comfortable and have a few normal local topics ready. You do not need a big script. Just make it easy for someone to talk to you.
What to wear
Go smart casual. Neat jeans, chinos, a decent shirt, a simple dress, clean sneakers, boots or a light jacket are all fine. Box Hill is busy and practical, not a place where you need to look like you are going to a formal event. You just want to look like you made an effort.
Dress for the actual trip. If you are coming by train, tram or bus, you may be walking through Box Hill Station, Box Hill Central, Whitehorse Road, Station Street or Main Street. Wear shoes you can actually move in. If you are driving, give yourself time because parking and traffic around Box Hill Central can be annoying at dinner time.
If you need something last minute, Box Hill Central is the obvious stop because it has retail, food, supermarkets and everyday services in one place. Do not overthink brands. A clean outfit that fits properly will do more for you than something expensive that feels uncomfortable.
Keep grooming simple. Tidy hair, fresh breath, clean nails, light fragrance and clothes that are not wrinkled. You are going to be sitting close to people for short chats, so comfort matters. The goal is to seem relaxed, approachable and easy to talk to.
What to talk about
Use real Box Hill topics. Ask whether they are from Box Hill, Blackburn, Mont Albert, Balwyn, Doncaster, Burwood or Mitcham. Ask whether they train, tram, bus or drive. Box Hill is a major transport hub, so this is actually useful, not boring.
Food is the easiest conversation starter. Ask where they eat around Box Hill Central, Station Street, Carrington Road or Whitehorse Road. You can talk dumplings, hotpot, bakeries, late night food, bubble tea or where they would take someone for a casual second date.
If they like creative or community stuff, Box Hill Community Arts Centre on Station Street is a real local option with pottery, painting, drawing, jewellery and other art classes. That is a good topic if someone mentions hobbies, learning something new or wanting a more interesting date than just coffee.
For outdoors, keep it nearby. Box Hill Gardens is easy for a daytime walk, and Gardiners Creek Trail is useful if they like cycling, running or longer walks. If the chat goes well, suggest something simple: coffee, food near Box Hill Central, the gardens, or an arts class later if that came up naturally.
Popular Venues
Our Most Popular Venues In Box Hill
🤍
For Box Hill, I would use venues that match different date situations instead of repeating the same Whitehorse Road spots. Box Hill RSL at 26 to 28 Nelson Road is the most practical option for a larger or more organised singles event. It has a bistro, bar and spacious lounges, so it can work if the host books a proper area where people can hear each other and rotate without getting in the way of regular diners.
Platform 3 Bar and Cafe is inside Box Hill Central at 48, 1 Main Street, so it is better for coffee, a casual daytime catch up or a low pressure second date. The location is the main advantage. It is right near Box Hill Station, the 109 tram terminus and the bus interchange, so nobody has to make the date harder than it needs to be. If the match is new, easy access matters.
David and Camy Dumpling Restaurant at 605 Station Street is better as a follow up food date than the actual speed dating venue. It is close to Box Hill Central and public transport, and the dumpling style of meal gives you something casual to talk about without making the date feel too formal. It is the kind of place you suggest when the first chat was easy and you want one more proper conversation.
The practical split is simple. Use Box Hill RSL if you need space and a booked area. Use Platform 3 if the follow up should be coffee, quick and easy. Use David and Camy if you want a casual meal near the station. Box Hill dating works best when the venue fits the stage you are at, not when every match gets turned into a big dinner straight away.
Box Hill Venue Energy
Box Hill venues should be practical first: enough space for a singles night, easy transport access, and simple follow up options near Box Hill Central and Station Street.
✓
Box Hill RSL
Best for a larger or more structured singles event. Box Hill RSL is at 26 to 28 Nelson Road and has a bistro, bar and spacious lounge areas, so it gives organisers more room to work with than a tiny restaurant. The main thing is booking a section properly. Speed dating needs enough atmosphere to feel social, but not so much background noise that every five minute chat turns into shouting across the table.
✓
Platform 3 Bar and Cafe
Best for a simple coffee or casual second date. Platform 3 is listed inside Box Hill Central at 48, 1 Main Street, which makes it useful because it is close to the station, tram and buses. It is not the venue you would choose for a huge night, but it is good when you want a low pressure follow up after matching. Meet there, grab coffee, and decide whether to keep walking or get food nearby.
✓
David and Camy Dumpling Restaurant
Best for a casual food follow up near the station. David and Camy Dumpling Restaurant is at 605 Station Street, close to Box Hill Central, which makes it easy for people coming by train, tram or bus. Dumplings are a good early date option because the setting is relaxed and the food gives you something to talk about. It is better for a second date than a rotating speed dating setup.
✓
Choose by date stage
For Box Hill, do not just pick the flashiest venue. Pick the one that matches the situation. Box Hill RSL works when the event needs space. Platform 3 works when the match is still new and coffee is enough. David and Camy works when you want a casual meal without overcommitting. That is more useful than trying to make every follow up feel like a formal date night.
Age Ranges
Love Has No Age Limit
🤍
For 20s and 30s speed dating in Box Hill, the main benefit is getting off the apps and meeting people who are actually close enough to see again. You might meet Box Hill Institute students, Deakin Burwood students, hospital workers, retail staff, hospo workers, young professionals, tech workers, renters, people living with family, or people figuring out whether they want to stay in the eastern suburbs long term.
For over 40s, the conversation usually gets more practical. People may be balancing work, kids, co parenting, career changes, divorce, separation or dating again after years away from it. You do not need to dump your whole life story into five minutes. Ask what their week looks like, what kind of relationship they are open to, and whether a second date near Box Hill, Blackburn, Balwyn, Doncaster or Burwood would actually work.
For over 50s, dating is usually more about comfort, honesty and whether the person feels easy to spend time with. People may be retired, still working, widowed, divorced, helping adult kids, caring for family or just wanting companionship. A simple follow up works best: coffee at Box Hill Central, lunch near Station Street, a walk through Box Hill Gardens, or something quieter around Mont Albert or Surrey Hills.
Age brackets are useful because they reduce the amount of explaining people need to do. Someone in their 20s may be focused on study, career and rent. Someone in their 40s may be balancing children and work. Someone in their 50s or later may care more about companionship, lifestyle and health. Pick the bracket that matches your real life, not the one that sounds better.
Age-Specific Events
Box Hill speed dating works best when the age range matches real life: 20s and 30s, over 40s, over 50s, and people looking for someone at a similar stage.
✓
20s and 30s
For people in their 20s and 30s, keep the chat light but useful. Ask whether they are studying, working nearby, renting, living with family, saving, commuting or planning to stay in the east. Box Hill Institute has campuses around Elgar Road and Whitehorse Road, and Deakin’s Burwood campus is close enough that students and graduates can be part of the mix. Good follow ups are easy: food near Station Street, coffee in Box Hill Central, or a short walk at Box Hill Gardens.
✓
Over 40s
For over 40s, speed dating should feel like a normal conversation, not a life audit. People might be divorced, separated, co parenting, career focused, or dating again after a long break. Ask where they are based, how their week actually works, and what kind of pace feels right. If the match feels promising, suggest something practical: coffee near Box Hill Station, dinner around Carrington Road, or a low pressure walk instead of a big formal date.
✓
Over 50s
For over 50s, the best conversations are usually calm and direct. Ask about travel, walking, family, work, retirement plans, volunteering, food, health or what they actually enjoy doing on weekends. Box Hill is useful because it is easy to reach by train, tram and bus, and it has simple date options close together. Coffee, lunch, Box Hill Gardens or a quiet meal nearby is usually better than trying to make the first follow up too fancy.
✓
Matched by life stage
Age brackets help because people are often dealing with different realities. A 28 year old may be thinking about career, housing and whether they want kids one day. A 42 year old may be working around school pickups, co parenting or a serious career. A 58 year old may be looking for companionship, travel or stability. The best event is the one where you do not need to over explain your stage of life.
Inclusive Events
Dating Nights For More Singles
🤍
Inclusive Box Hill speed dating should be clear, respectful and useful. Say who the night is for, how matching works, and let people talk about culture, faith and identity without turning it into a stereotype.
LGBTQ+ Speed Dating
For LGBTQ+ speed dating in Box Hill, the important thing is clarity before people book. Say whether the event is for gay, lesbian, bi, trans, queer and non-binary singles, and explain how rotations and matching work. Box Hill is not a major queer nightlife suburb, so the event needs to feel organised and safe rather than relying on vague rainbow wording.
For local follow-ups, keep it public and easy. Coffee at Box Hill Central, food around Station Street, a walk through Box Hill Gardens or a quick train trip to a bigger inner-city queer event can all make sense. The goal is simple: let people meet nearby without making the night feel awkward or overproduced.
Christian Speed Dating
Christian speed dating in Box Hill should focus on values without making five minutes feel like a marriage interview. Some people are church-involved every week, some are culturally Christian, and some mainly want someone with similar views on family, commitment and lifestyle. Let people explain that naturally.
There are real local references if faith comes up. Box Hill Baptist Church is on Station Street, and St Francis Xavier Catholic Church is on Whitehorse Road. Good questions are simple: how important is faith day to day, what kind of relationship are they looking for, and how do they balance church, work, family and dating?
Jewish and Interfaith Dating
Jewish and interfaith dating should be written respectfully, not like a themed night. The useful topics are tradition, family expectations, food, holidays, observance level, kids, boundaries and what kind of relationship someone wants. Box Hill is not the centre of Melbourne’s Jewish community, so do not pretend it is.
A good Box Hill event can still work if it is clear about who it is for and draws people from nearby eastern suburbs. The first chat should stay light but honest. Ask what community means to them, how family fits into dating, and what pace feels right. For a follow-up, coffee or lunch near Box Hill Central is enough.
Asian and Multicultural Dating
Asian and multicultural dating in Box Hill actually has strong local context. Box Hill has a large Chinese and broader Asian food and shopping scene, especially around Box Hill Central, Station Street, Main Street and Carrington Road. That makes cultural dating feel local rather than forced.
Keep the conversations normal. Ask where they grew up, what food places they rate, whether they speak another language at home, how involved family is in dating, and what kind of relationship they want. For a second date, food near Station Street, bubble tea near Box Hill Central or a simple coffee is easier than making it a big cultural performance.
Box Hill Speed Dating FAQ
Questions Singles Ask Before Booking
🤍
These are the practical questions people often ask before attending a speed dating event in Box Hill.
Looking to make a killer first impression at our Box Hill speed dating events? Gentlemen, you can’t go wrong with a smart casual look, think crisp button-down shirt and well-fitted chinos from Connor at Box Hill Central. Ladies, a cute cocktail dress from Portmans will turn heads without trying too hard. For both, comfortable shoes are a must, you’ll be moving around! Accessorize with confidence and a warm smile. Need a pre-event glow-up? Head to Xiang Hair on Station Street for a trendy cut, the textured crop is hot for guys, while ladies are rocking the effortless beach waves. Remember, the best outfit is one that makes you feel like your most awesome self!
Our Box Hill speed dating events are like a perfectly balanced cocktail, we aim for a 50:50 ratio of men and women, usually around 40 attendees total. We actually book up to 50 people, accounting for the inevitable 15% no-show rate (hey, life happens!). You’ll mingle with singles not just from Box Hill, but also from neighboring Mont Albert and Burwood. It’s like a melting pot of Melbourne’s eastern suburbs! Don’t worry about not having enough dates, with our format, you’re guaranteed to chat with around 20 potential matches. Who knows, your soulmate might just be a 5-minute conversation away!
Looking to connect with like-minded singles in Box Hill? Start by mentioning your love for the Box Hill Community Arts Centre’s pottery classes or your weekly hikes in the Dandenong Ranges. These local hotspots are great conversation starters during your mini-dates. Try something like, “Have you ever tried throwing clay at the Arts Centre? I’m thinking of taking a class!” This can easily lead to a potential first date idea if you hit it off. Remember, shared interests are the foundation of any great relationship, so don’t be shy about geeking out over your hobbies. You might just find your perfect activity partner and romantic match in one go!
Box Hill speed dating events attract a diverse crowd that’ll make your dating life more colorful than a Lunar New Year parade! You’ll meet professionals from Epworth Eastern Hospital, students from Deakin University’s Burwood campus, and teachers from Box Hill High School. Our events are a melting pot of singles from neighboring Mont Albert (known for its leafy streets and charming cafes) and Burwood East (home to tech-savvy professionals). Box Hill itself is famous for its vibrant Asian community, so expect a good mix of cultures. Whether you’re looking for a life partner or just dipping your toes back into the dating scene, you’ll find kindred spirits here!
While speed dating in Box Hill is generally a blast, it’s not without its quirks. For starters, we keep things local, participants should be within an hour’s drive to avoid any long-distance relationship drama. Age restrictions apply (18+ for bar events), so leave the fake IDs at home, kids! No-shows can happen, but we’ve got you covered with a 5-minute chill session to grab a drink or update your Instagram. Some folks find the pressure to make a stellar first impression in five minutes a bit daunting. And yes, it can sometimes unfairly prioritize looks over personality. But hey, that’s what the follow-up date is for!
Speed dating is like Tinder in real life, but way more fun and with less chance of being catfished! Picture this: you’re at a trendy spot like Zero Mode on Whitehorse Road, surrounded by other singles. You’ll have 12 five-minute chats, just enough time to decide if you want to swipe right in person. After each mini-date, you’ll discreetly mark ‘match’ or ‘friend’ on our app. The concept was born in 1998 when Rabbi Yaacov Deyo in Los Angeles decided to help Jewish singles meet their beshert (soulmate). It’s since evolved into a global phenomenon, helping countless singles find love, or at least a decent Friday night plan!
Does speed dating work? Well, according to science (and countless happy couples), it’s not just a fun night out, it’s a legit way to find a romantic connection! Research shows there’s a 69% likelihood of reciprocity in liking someone after a speed dating event. That’s better odds than swiping right on dating apps! Many participants report feeling an instant spark or mutual attraction during these face-to-face encounters. Plus, you get to skip the awkward small talk of traditional first dates. So whether you’re looking for a serious relationship or just want to expand your dating pool, speed dating in Box Hill could be your ticket to finding that special someone. Give it a shot!
Looking for a God-centered relationship in Box Hill? Our Christian speed dating events might just be your answered prayer! We welcome singles from all denominations, whether you’re Catholic, Anglican, or part of the Box Hill Baptist Church congregation. These events are perfect for those seeking a partner who shares their faith and values. Forget Christian Mingle, our events offer face-to-face connections that online dating just can’t match. Expect conversations about favorite Bible verses, church involvement, and how faith shapes your daily life. After the event, why not suggest a follow-up date at the beautiful St Francis Xavier Catholic Church? Who knows, you might just find your God-given soulmate!
Ni hao, konnichiwa, annyeong haseyo to Box Hill’s Asian speed dating scene! Our events celebrate the diversity of Asian cultures, bringing together singles from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Indian backgrounds. Attendees often seek partners who understand their cultural values and family expectations. These events typically happen at bustling spots like Box Hill Central, where you can bond over bubble tea from Chi Cha or share xiaolongbao from Dainty Sichuan Food. Forget EastMeets East, our events offer real-life connections that dating apps can’t beat. After matching, why not suggest a dim sum date at Kitchen Republik? It’s the perfect way to continue your cultural exchange and potentially start your own love story!
Gone are the days of scribbling notes on paper, we’ve gone digital, baby! When you arrive at our Box Hill speed dating event, our friendly hosts will greet you and set you up with our swanky Matching App 4.0. Just scan the QR code, enter the event code, your name, starting table number, and email. As you chat with potential matches, use the app to mark ‘Match’ or ‘Friend’ for each person. It’s like Tinder, but in real life! The best part? You’ll wake up to your matches at 8am the next day. No more waiting by the phone, unless you’re expecting a call from that cute IT professional you met!
Calling all fitness enthusiasts in Box Hill! Our fitness speed dating events are perfect for singles who prefer protein shakes to cocktails. Bond over your love for F45 Training on Whitehorse Road or swap stories about conquering the 1000 Steps in the Dandenong Ranges. These events attract health-conscious singles looking for a partner to share their active lifestyle. After the event, why not suggest a follow-up date at Snap Fitness Box Hill? Nothing says romance like a couple’s workout! Or cool down with a post-gym smoothie at Boost Juice in Box Hill Central. Who knows, you might just find your swolemate and workout buddy in one go!
Scored a match at our Box Hill speed dating event? Time to plan that all-important first date! For a casual yet trendy vibe, The Penny Drop on Whitehorse Road is a local favorite. Picture this: you’re sipping on their famous espresso martinis, bonding over your shared love of specialty coffee. Or, for a more adventurous date, why not challenge your match to a culinary exploration at Box Hill Central’s food court? You can test your chopstick skills with soup dumplings or compete to find the best bubble tea. Pro tip: suggest these ideas during your speed dating chat, it’s a great way to secure that follow-up date on the spot!
Let’s talk turkey about our refund policy, or rather, our no-refund policy. We’re not trying to be harsh, but organizing these events is trickier than navigating the Melbourne hook-up scene! However, we’re not completely inflexible. If you give us at least 7 days’ notice via email (matches@speeddatingsocial.com, sliding into our DMs doesn’t count), we can transfer your ticket to another event of the same age range. It’s not an open-ended credit, though, we’ll give you specific alternative dates. Remember, this is all subject to availability and our discretion. So before you book, make sure you’re ready to take the plunge into the Box Hill dating pool!
