Singles Events

13 posts in this topic

What are your thoughts on singles events? Have you ever been to one? If so, what was your experience like? Did you meet women there, or was it just an awkward event? 

People have told me to try it, but I want to hear some real experiences first, the good, the bad and the ugly.

What's your overall opinion of singles events? Worth it, or not? 


"Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie

I went to speed dating and a dating workshop.

First was fun, they included a comedy piece and alcohol for warm up. Talked to 10 women speed dating,  met three women afterwards, some stuff happened but nothing long term. Would do it again. 

The latter was bit strange, bit awkward because of the exercises they did with us. Too much therapy vibes lol :D 

If it looks like fun atmosphere I would go. 


Here are smart words that present my apparent identity but don't mean anything. At all.

@theleelajoker Did you go to the speed dating alone or with friends?

Friends, but would have done it on my own too

You said that you met three women afterward but nothing happened. Why?

I said some stuff happened, not that nothing happened ;)

Nothing long term happened.

Would have liked to see one again, but she didn't feel the same

Wow, after one speed dating event you met three women. If it was so successful, why haven't you gone back?

Good question 😂 

It was some years ago don't remember maybe I got into a relationship, maybe I wasn't looking for women at that time, maybe there was another reason.

I actually found an advertisement for a dating event few days ago maybe it's time to go I'm single right now

I definitely want to go. I wonder if it’s possible to go there alone.

I've been to a few. It's been single bar nights. 

It's mostly a fun activity to do with your friends and meet some new people. A social activity, more so than a dating activity.

Made out with one girl at my first event, that can happen too. I wouldn't take it too seriously, but have some fun. That's the most important part.

Was it speed dating, or a different type of event?

It's an event where everyone is single. Meet and mingle. Nothing structured. Have a drink or two.

Isn't that the perfect arena for pickup?
