About us
Shy? Quiet? Introverted? Socially awkward sometimes? Whatever - you're welcome here!
This group is for anyone who wants to get out of the house, meet new people, and have some fun without all the pressure. We'll get together for social events and activities around NYC, share some drinks and laughs, and hopefully make a few new friends along the way.
Come solo or bring a friend - either way, you're probably not the only one feeling a little nervous about showing up!
Have an event idea you'd love to see? Let us know! We're always open to suggestions, and if you're interested in organizing an event yourself, we may be able to make you an event organizer.
Let's get out there and do this!

We will send you both mutual matches (you picked them and they picked you) as well as one way matches (they picked you but you did not pick them).

You will not have to wait 24 hours or more to get your results.
