FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are events gender balanced?

If they are, it's entirely by chance. There's no effort to have an equal number of men and women. Even if you're not really looking, it's still nice to meet people of the opposite sex and it's very, very rare to have an event with all women or all men. Also the number of attendees is unpredictable. We had events that have 18 people and some have 3-4 people.

Can I just show up at an event without an RSVP?

Not unless the host specifically said it's ok to do that. It's important for the host to know how many are coming to their event for planning purposes. For dinners, it's often necessary to make reservations for a specific number of people and it's mess to expect 10 and have 20 show up. Also, some hosts preferred to keep their events small so they can get to know people.

How do I pay for an event?

All events are ''Dutch Treat'' - pay your own way. Some events are free, some you pay once you get there, and some required you to pay the host in advance. It is also requested that you pay a little extra when dining to help pay for the host's dinner as a show of appreciation. In some paid events, sometimes the cost will include small amount of service fee (usually less than $5) to help pay for the host's ticket.

Can I bring my kids to an event?

Unless the event description specified this, most events are for adults only. Please respect the host's decision since majority of the members do not have kids. Please avoid bringing your kids to any events without asking the host first. If you really would like more kid friendly events, please consider hosting some yourself.

Will everyone at the event know each other?

Probably not. There's usually a mix of people who've come to a number of events and some first timers. The host should welcome you when you arrive and introduce you to at least one other person. People come to socialize, so go ahead and introduce yourself to each person around you and conversation will naturally flow. This is a good opportunity for first time attendees to meet other singles. Don't worry there are no cliques in the group.

How do I cancel if I sign up for an event and realize I can't make it?

Just contact the host and they can do it. It is greatly appreciated if you let the host know you aren't coming because space is sometimes limited.

How do I get a ride to an event?

We don't have any formal system for doing that. Most events are on your own, but on occasions the host do coordinate on carpooling, it will be up to the host.

On what conditions will I be remove from the group?

Your membership will be terminated for the following conditions:

1.Inappropriate behavior such as sexual harassment, cursing, drugs usage, providing false information on the application.. Etc.

2. Soliciting dates from unwilling members, major complaints from several members, RUDE to the members or the host, INCONSIDERATE to the host, not doing what the host asked for during events, or not reliable in meeting your obligations in several social events.

This is a group for the college educated professionals so please act accordingly.

Why is it you have to be SINGLE in order to participate in this group's activities?

This group is catered to single people who are not in a committed relationship. Several members feel more comfortable in going to social events where there are plenty of singles. Others are specifically looking for groups such as this one to make more single friends. This group is intended to fill these needs. Furthermore, we have several joint events with other single organizations where this term is enforced. You are welcome to invite your single friends to some of our events just as long as they are SINGLE. Better yet, invite them to join the group!
