Still curious but unsure?
Hi, I’m Claire, founder of The Talk Pub.
If you’re here, you might be circling the idea of joining a heartlab but haven’t taken the leap just yet. Maybe you’re wondering:
“What if I feel awkward arriving alone?”
“What if it’s too intense? Too shallow? Too weird?”
Totally fair questions. (I’d be asking them too.)
But here’s something else to consider: what if this is the moment where your search for love gently shifts direction—from screen time and self-help videos to real-time, real people, real growth?
Because let’s be honest: watching relationship advice on TikTok can be helpful. Dating apps can be thrilling (until they’re not). But none of it really practices love. None of it builds your relational muscles. And none of it lets you feel the thrill of an organic encounter—the kind that makes you think, “Oh. There you are.”
That’s what our heartlabs are designed for.
Where Love Meets Practice
At The Talk Pub, we host social experiences for people who take love seriously. We call them heartlabs—where relationship science meets delicious conversation, real presence, and yes, the occasional spark across the table. ✨
They’re guided, imaginative, and lightly structured to keep things flowing—with small group conversations and playful prompts that make it easy to connect. You’ll sit down with strangers who, like you, are confident, emotionally curious, and looking to do love differently.
And while we talk about love… we also practice it. Not by performing or impressing, but by showing up—with openness, warmth, and a hunger for connection.
Strangers Today. Something More Tomorrow.
People often ask:
“What if I’m older than most?”
“What if I’m queer?”
“What if my English isn’t perfect?”
Our answer? Come as you are. The only real requirement is that you care about relationships—and that you’re brave enough to start a conversation.
Because that’s where it all begins: the first hello, the first laugh, the first spark of recognition. And suddenly, you’re not alone anymore. You’re in a room full of people who get why you’re here.
You don’t have to be ready. You just have to be real.
Come curious. Come solo. Come as you are.
There’s space for you here. 💛🗝️
Love, Unlocked
THE TALK PUB
