What we’re about
Our old selves are not the version of what we are now. We have grown and our capacity to love has grown. This group is for the imperfect person who believes in compassion dating. Dating with a purpose and with a vision that makes everyone else think you are crazy but the hopeless romantic in you still believes in Love and trying again. Let's try again together and at least make some new friends. Like Aaliyah said if first you don't succeed dust yourself off and try again. Let's try again!
I hope to host events with a romantic setting like mini dates and anyone with a good warm heart is welcomed to join! Whether we are going to a beach, having dinner or enjoying a picnic, I hope to see you there! Wepa!

How to find us: The easiest way is to meet us outside of the McDonald's from 11:30 AM to 11:45 AM and then walk over with us to Penn Station and take the LIRR with us at 12:21 PM. However, if you're driving or taking the train from another stop, please meet us at the Robert Moses Beach at approx 2:30 PM. Other than that, I will post my GPS Coordinates as well as photos to try to assist latecomers as best I can. If you really are lost, calling me is probably better than texting. My number is 646-238-9910.
