I am happily and BLISSFULLY married for nearly ten years! Though I adore my husband, it is fun to listen to my single friends navigate the dating world. It was challenging back then to find Mr. Right and I can only assume it is as difficult if not more, especially now that kids are included in the “package.” Blind dates always seemed to be the best way to meet someone unless you were lucky enough to sit next to a babe on the airplane and you managed to wear cute jeans instead of leggings aka clam diggers. But for the rest of us who had to suffer through countless, never ending, painful dates, it seemed hopeless. Dating websites, coffee speed dates, and other round robins lacked promise. I recently had dinner with a few adorable single girls and listened to them complain about how hard it is to meet “good” available guys. I suddenly remembered an idea that had been pitched to me years ago. It was thought provoking then and as interesting now. HINT HINT to all singles out there… The scenario goes like this: Pick a restaurant with good energy that can accomodate a lot of people, not a trendy spot that will come and go, but somewhere where the cocktails are good, the food is comforting; a place that people will want to linger and won’t feel the pressure to eat fast and turn the tables. Select a few single friends of both sexes that socialize in DIFFERENT circles. Each person must invite a single person of the opposite sex that you think someone in the group could be attracted to. The invited guests are now part of the host “committee” and the next month they are responsible for inviting new single guests. Each month the singles dinner club will meet and expand and eventually(hopefully) couples will begin to form. No longer a part of the singles dinner club, they will be sent on their merry way with contact information for a couples’ therapist– kidding!
