Do only extroverts or people who are great at communication feel comfortable at a mixer dating event?
This is actually a thought many people have before signing up for Thu Vi Yeu by Clique83.
Many people imagine mixer dating as a place where everyone is confident, good at talking, or interesting enough to stand out. The idea of walking into a room full of strangers, starting conversations first, or keeping conversations going can sometimes make people hesitate before they even decide whether to register.
But after more than 300 Thu Vi Yeu events, a mixer dating format organized by Clique83, we have realized that most participants are more similar than they may think. Everyone feels a little shy at first. Everyone has had that moment of standing at the door and wondering, “Will I be able to fit in tonight?” Some people even arrive quietly, observe the room, or hold their phone just to feel less awkward.
What slowly changes everything is usually not about who is better at talking. It is about whether the meetup feels comfortable enough for people to stop trying too hard, unlike when they are texting or trying to impress someone online.
When the atmosphere at Thu Vi Yeu becomes more relaxed, the conversations often change too. People who once thought they were hard to open up begin talking more. Those who felt shy at first start laughing more. And memorable conversations sometimes come from people you never expected to connect with so well at the beginning.
That is why feeling suited to Thu Vi Yeu is not really about whether someone is introverted or extroverted, or whether they are naturally good at conversation. What matters more is the stage of life you are in, what you are looking for in a new connection, and whether you want to give yourself another chance to meet new people in real life.
So, is Thu Vi Yeu the right experience for you right now? Let’s explore with Clique83 the types of people who often find themselves in Thu Vi Yeu.
Types Of People Who Often Join Thu Vi Yeu by Clique83
People who are tired of the swipe, text, and disappear cycle on dating apps.
Working professionals who find it hard to expand their social circle.
People who feel more comfortable connecting gradually instead of going straight into a 1:1 date.
People who are becoming more open to starting a new connection.
People Who Are Tired Of The Swipe, Text, And Disappear Cycle On Dating Apps
Dating apps have made it much faster to connect with new people. With just a few minutes of scrolling on a phone, people can match and start talking with someone completely new.
But after using dating apps for a while, many people begin to feel tired of a familiar cycle: swipe, match, text for a few days or weeks, then still never meet in real life. Some conversations even end when one person slowly disappears without any clear reason.
According to a Tien Phong article on the trend of Gen Z becoming less interested in dating apps, a survey from AppsFlyer showed that 65% of dating apps are deleted within one month, and up to 90% of users uninstall them after only one week of use. This partly reflects how many people today are starting to find it difficult to build a real sense of connection through screen-based conversations alone.
Beyond ghosting, many people also begin to lose trust because the gap between online and real life can sometimes feel too wide. Over-edited photos, personal information that may not be accurate, or a real-life impression that feels completely different from texting can leave many people disappointed after meeting.
For many women in particular, meeting someone from the internet for the first time can also come with concerns about safety, trustworthiness, and whether the person is truly like what they show on their profile.
That is why many people today are becoming more interested in real-life meeting experiences that are better selected, clearly organized, and built around more genuine interaction, instead of extending phone conversations for too long.
Working Professionals Who Find It Hard To Expand Their Social Circle
After a few years of working, many people begin to realize that opportunities to meet new people in real life become much fewer than before.
Most of each day revolves around work, deadlines, familiar relationships, and a repeated routine between home, the office, and a few usual places. Unlike student life, the working environment often does not create many natural chances to meet and get to know new people.
Over time, many people’s social circles remain almost the same for months or even years. New conversations also become less frequent as most time and energy are spent on work and personal life.
Even though people can still connect with someone new through social media or dating apps, not everyone feels that closeness can be built easily through conversations on a screen.
That is why many people come to experiences like Thu Vi Yeu by Clique83 as a way to step out of their familiar routine and meet more people in real life.
In fact, not everyone who joins Thu Vi Yeu arrives with the goal of finding a partner immediately. For many people, meeting new people, having conversations outside their usual circle, or simply giving themselves an experience different from daily life is already a meaningful reason to join.
After all, not every connection will become a romantic relationship. But every meeting can still open up new perspectives, new stories, or people you would not have had the chance to meet in your everyday life.
People Who Feel More Comfortable Connecting Gradually Instead Of Going Straight Into A 1:1 Date
Not everyone feels comfortable sitting down for a private conversation with a stranger from the very first meeting.
For many people, connection does not happen too quickly. They need more time to observe, talk, and feel the other person in different situations before they truly want to get to know them more deeply.
That is also why a 1:1 date from the beginning can feel hard to ease into. When the entire meeting revolves around only two people, the conversation can easily carry the pressure of having to keep the interaction going or quickly figure out whether both people are compatible.
Meanwhile, many people feel that conversations begin more easily in a space with more interaction. Meeting several people, joining shared activities, and gradually getting used to the atmosphere of the event can help reduce shyness significantly.
That is why a mixer dating model like Thu Vi Yeu by Clique83 feels easier to join for many people. Instead of sitting with one person throughout the entire event, participants have the chance to talk with different people, join small group activities, and slowly settle into the atmosphere before moving into deeper one-on-one conversations. When the pressure to “click immediately” becomes lighter, many conversations also become more comfortable and naturally last longer.
People Who Are Ready To Open Up To A New Connection
One thing Clique83 understands very clearly is this: being single does not always mean someone is ready for a new connection.
In life, many people are single but not truly ready to start getting to know someone at the moment. Some are fully focused on work. Some have just come out of a past relationship and need more time for themselves. Others simply feel that their current life is already full enough and do not want to spend energy on romance right now.
So the hardest part is not meeting someone who is single. It is meeting someone who is also open to meeting and exploring a new connection, just like you.
That is why Thu Vi Yeu by Clique83 is created as a space where everyone enters with the same mindset: they are ready to spend time on new conversations, open to getting to know others, and willing to give themselves a chance to create a real-life connection.
When someone is truly ready to open up, they are usually more willing to listen, interact, and be present in the conversation. And when many people enter the event with that same mindset, the atmosphere of a mixer dating event often becomes much easier for real conversations and connection to happen.
Thu Vi Yeu May Be Worth Trying If You Are…
Thu Vi Yeu may be worth trying if you feel that it is time to give yourself more real-life meetings, conversations, and new connections.
After all, Thu Vi Yeu was not created to answer the question, “Will I meet my partner here?”
What Clique83 wants to create is a space where people can step away from their familiar routine, meet new people, and experience conversations that are often hard to find in everyday life.
No one knows in advance who they will meet in one evening. No one can be certain where a conversation will go after the program ends.
But sometimes, simply giving yourself the chance to step into a new space, meet new people, and open up new conversations is already a valuable experience.
And who knows, among the many conversations that evening, there may be someone who makes you want to spend more time getting to know them after the event.
So, Are You Ready To Experience Thu Vi Yeu With Clique83?
If you see yourself in one or more of the groups above, Thu Vi Yeu may be an experience worth trying.
Not because the program promises to help you quickly find a relationship, but because it gives you the chance to meet new people in real life, have conversations different from your usual routine, and give yourself another opportunity to connect in a more open space.
Thu Vi Yeu by Clique83 is a mixer dating event that lasts around three hours. It is designed to give participants the chance to meet, talk, and feel different connections within the same evening.
Instead of sitting with only one person from beginning to end like a traditional date, Thu Vi Yeu is built with different interaction stages so everyone can start conversations and blend in more easily over time.
A typical Thu Vi Yeu event usually includes:
First 30 minutes — General warm-up: Everyone has time to settle in, get used to the atmosphere, and have light conversations with people around them before the main program begins.
10 minutes — Program introduction: The host explains how the event works, introduces the activities, and guides everyone so they can feel more comfortable throughout the evening.
30 minutes — Mixer Tables in small groups: Participants sit at tables of around four people and switch tables every 15 minutes, giving them the chance to meet more new people in a relaxed atmosphere.
15 minutes — Mini games and interactive activities: Small activities are included to help people feel less shy and create more natural topics for starting conversations.
60 to 90 minutes — 1:1 conversations: Participants have the chance to talk privately in pairs, with each round lasting around 8 to 10 minutes, so they can learn more about people they feel aligned with.
Final 20 minutes — Red card selection: Each participant writes down the names of up to three people they would like to continue getting to know after the program.
After the event — Match reveal: If two people choose each other, Clique83 helps open a private connection so they have another chance to continue talking in real life.

FAQs
1. Do I Have To Match With Someone When Joining Thu Vi Yeu?
No. Thu Vi Yeu by Clique83 is not designed as a program where everyone has to leave with a guaranteed match.
Many people join simply to meet new people, try something different from their usual routine, or give themselves more opportunities to talk in real life. Some people may not match with anyone after the event but still feel that the evening was worth joining because they had interesting conversations and experienced a more genuine sense of real-life connection.
What Clique83 focuses on is not forcing people to form couples quickly, but creating a space where everyone can meet comfortably and feel connection in a more natural way.
2. Is It Hard To Fit In If I Have Never Joined Mixer Dating Before?
This is actually a very common feeling for first-time participants.
Most people feel a little shy or unsure of how to start a conversation when they first arrive. That is why Clique83’s program is usually guided through gentle stages instead of leaving everyone to figure things out alone in a room full of strangers.
Small group conversation rounds, mini games, conversation prompt cards, and guidance from the host all help conversations begin much more easily. After the first 30 to 45 minutes, the atmosphere usually feels very different from the moment people first checked in.
3. How Is Thu Vi Yeu Different From A Regular Speed Dating Event?
The biggest difference is the rhythm of the event.
Speed dating usually focuses on quick conversations in short rounds so participants can meet many people in a limited time. Thu Vi Yeu, on the other hand, is designed more like a social mixer. This means participants have time to gradually get used to the atmosphere, observe how others interact, and talk in different situations before moving into private conversations.
In addition to one-on-one rounds, the program also includes small group conversations, mini games, and other interactive moments. This helps the meetup feel less like an interview and less pressured than what many people often imagine when they think of dating events.
4. What Are People Usually Looking For When They Join Thu Vi Yeu?
Each person has a different reason for joining.
Some want to expand their social circle beyond work and familiar relationships. Some have used dating apps for a long time and want to experience more real-life meetings. Others simply want to give themselves an evening that feels different from their everyday routine instead of repeating the same cycle of work and phone time.
The biggest thing participants usually have in common is that they enter the program with a more open mindset toward talking and meeting new people in real life.
5 Do I Need To Prepare Anything Before Joining Thu Vi Yeu?
You do not need to prepare too much. Coming with a relaxed mindset and being open to new conversations is enough.
Each Thu Vi Yeu event by Clique83 also usually has its own concept, such as cowboy, retro, or Shanghai Bund, so participants often prepare outfits that match the theme to blend into the atmosphere more easily.
