Put yourself on the waitlist - see below!
Because the dating apps suck, and we are all tired of meeting people we cannot relate to, I decided to try a singles only meetup with … let’s face it … some of the cooler people in San Diego, our very own Biotech Beach and Brews meetup group.
Therefore, welcome to our first singles only event – with a few quick guidelines.
- You should be single. As in really, actually single. Not in a bad relationship looking for an exit ramp, living with your ex while separated, married in Tijuana but don’t think it’s valid, or in a situationship that is “complex”. Single.
- Look at your texts. If your top 5 texts are all work related, wow, you must come to this meetup. If you have texts with kisses, hearts, rainbows or similar emojis in your top 5 texts, maybe you’re not actually single. Rainbow fart emojis don’t count as rainbow emojis – who are these people using that anyway?
- This is a no pressure situation, and your primary goals at this event are to meet people, have an open mind that you could date someone here, have a beverage or two, and have fun. Maybe you meet someone you can date, maybe not, it’s OK either way.
- I forgot what #4 was, but damn it was a good one.
- Sometimes singles just need to get out and meet other singles. You are not expected to fall in love at first sight, pet sit for someone, water their plants while they are away, give them a ride to the airport, or connect on social media. Unless you want to.
- You should consider going out with someone you normally would not. Break the old pattern, as you are a scientist or scientist adjacent, and you do experiments for a living. It might pleasantly surprise you.
- Did I mention you should be single??
- Never have more than 7 guidelines.
I’m setting this up on a “waitlist” attendance, in order to try to have an even ratio of men and women. So if 50 men sign up and only 40 women, the first 40 men and women get in. The other 10 men will have to wait until more women sign up, or vice versa. I will check regularly to add people.
I hope you sign up for this, have a great time, and we will see how it goes for our first singles only meetup!
PS - I picked Duckfoot because their beer is good, and it is gluten free for those that worry about that.
