We’ve all lived the modern dating struggle — swiping endlessly, late nights at bars, awkward setups, and events that rarely lead to anything real. Too often, it ends in disappointment.

​

In a city as fast as New York, giving up a night of freedom only to waste it feels daunting. That’s why we created hey, you: a new approach to dating built on genuine connection.

​

For LGBTQIA+ communities especially—whose love is too often overlooked—hey, you is more than another dating option. Every event is intentionally designed to be safe, inclusive, and affirming.

​

What makes us different:

• No endless swiping: We curate the room so you meet people who actually belong there.

• No half-hearted matches: Everyone shows up with the same goal—connection.

• No awkward one-on-ones: Events are designed for flow, not pressure.

• No wasted nights: Fun, vibrant, and memorable, even if sparks don’t fly.

 

At hey, you, it starts with real people seeking real connections. Whether you’re here for love, friendship, or simply a magical night in the city, this is where sparks can actually turn into something real.
