My Story

I've been single on and off for years. Tried it all. Apps, speed dating, every "solution" out there.

What I actually found wasn't romance. It was friendship. And yes romance along the way too.

People I still do things with. People who genuinely make me laugh. That's what dating kept giving me, over and over, even when the dates themselves didn't go anywhere. The friendships and common experiences made the dating more bearable.

But nothing out there was built for that. Speed dating wants you to find "the one" in three minutes flat.​ Apps want you swiping, not laughing. None of it left room for just... enjoying yourself with people who get you. 

Moving to the UK in 2024 made this even clearer. My best connections came from doing things — not talking about myself across a table on a timer.

So when I came back to Australia, I thought: if this doesn't exist, why not create it?

Something old school. Shared experiences first. Let people be curious, competitive, silly, themselves — and let connection happen the way it always used to.

That's Get Snowballing.

We don't ask you to sell yourself in 90 seconds. We ask you to show up and do something you'd genuinely enjoy anyway.

The rest takes care of itself.​​​​​​

MY PRINCIPLES

Connection First
 

Love might happen. Friendship will. Either way, you leave with something real.

No pressure

 

We don't believe in "you must find someone tonight" energy.

Be you. Enjoy.

Quality Over Quantity

Thoughtfully curated events and a community of like-minded, genuine people.

Start with Yourself
 

Know who you are and what you want. That clarity is magnetic.

Real People, Real Connections

40+ singles who have lived, learned, and are ready for what's next.

Know someone who deserves this? 

Sometimes the best gift isn't a thing. It's a nudge in the right direction. For your sibling or bestie, buy a single event ticket or a more for someone you care. We'll handle the rest.
