Rhode Island Is Small. Your Dating Options Don't Have to Be.

Providence is a college town that doesn't always get treated like one. Brown and URI anchor a student population that includes a meaningful South Asian contingent, and the young professionals who stick around after graduation quietly build lives here without a lot of social infrastructure to support them. Cranston and Warwick add suburban families to the mix, but the singles scene is basically Boston's shadow.

The show format from New York works especially well in smaller markets: real contestants go on live dates on stage while the audience watches and reacts. Afterward, everyone mingles. In a place like Providence where the dating pool feels exhausted, this format brings people from across the region into one room. New faces, new energy.

The truth about Providence is that the South Asian community is small enough that everyone knows everyone, which makes dating feel impossible. You need fresh energy in the room. A show like this pulls people from the broader region, which means you're not just recycling the same group chat.

We're considering Providence for a future date. If the waitlist shows enough demand, we'll make it happen. Sign up below to be first in line for tickets, or apply to be a contestant. Rhode Island is small. The show doesn't have to be.
