About us
We are happy to have changed our name to "Black Love and Friends Dayton", while still being a “Grown Sexy Wise and Mature” group! 😍
WELCOME to an exciting group of African-Americans and Special Friends of any culture or nationality. The average age range is 40 to 60+. Younger people comfortable with this age group may join as well. The purpose of Black Love and Friends Dayton is to provide a bevy of activities and events where people can congregate, mingle and make new friends in an easy social networking way.
We love, honor and respect our Men and Women. Members are encouraged to offer ideas of activities and events that they would enjoy participating in. These ideas can easily become reality where others can join in too.
The door is open for members to become Event Hosts. We can collaborate together to post event(s) you’re interested in, and, as the Event Host, you communicate with the members and greet them as they come together. There may be other responsibilities yet all can be done with minimal effort.

As a member, you grant BLACK LOVE AND FRIENDS (all locations) the right to use your name and image as recorded and/or photographed; to promote BLACK LOVE AND FRIENDS and release the groups from all liability associated with the use of your name, image and statements.
Come join us! Get from behind the computer, come out and have a social life! And know our abiding theme, “It’s all about L-O-V-E...”
