Since 1997. Before the apps.
Eight at Eight was matching Atlanta singles when "online dating" meant AOL chat rooms. Twenty-eight years later, every profile is still read by a human and every table is still built by hand. This is the team that does it.

The Eight at Eight story
Four men. Four women. One great dinner.
The idea is simple. Eight singles meet for an evening of friendly conversation, good food, and the chance to expand your circle of friends. Members are matched by age, mutual interests, and backgrounds. The relaxed group setting relieves the pressure of one-on-one dating and increases the chances of meeting someone interesting and compatible. Our matchmakers work closely to choose hip restaurants, match like minds, and lead each table.
