Leaf the dating apps behind and arm yourself with your best plant-powered pickup line, because PETA is hosting a special Valentine’s Day weekend speed-dating event on Sunday, February 15.
Daters will get seven minutes each to charm seven different singles who match their dating criteria. Tickets are $20 through February 11 and $25 from February 12 through 5 p.m. ET on February 15.
A portion of the proceeds will support PETA’s vital mission to end animal exploitation, so the event is sure to leave everyone with that warm-and-fuzzy feeling at the end of the night.
Where: Sign up at PETA.org/VeganDate
When: Sunday, February 15, 8 p.m. ET
“If you want to meet someone who shares your compassion, your values, and maybe your obsession with oat‑milk lattes, this is the place,” says PETA President Tracy Reiman. “All compassionate courters who are hungry for love are encouraged to sign up for PETA’s date night and find their one-in-a-melon match this Valentine’s weekend.”
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—offers free vegan starter kits for anyone interested in making the switch, or looking for delicious recipes to impress their date. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow PETA on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
