About us
"Childfree Singles of the DMV" is a group for people of any orientation and 21+ age who: are not currently in a romantic relationship; who have not had children (by choice or by circumstance); and who are not planning to have children at this time. This is not an empty-nesters group -- this is a group for people who have never parented. It is also a group for people not in a romantic relationship; this includes nonmonogamy. Please note: If you enter into a romantic relationship, you don't need to leave the group -- but please wait until you are single/unattached again before you attend further Childfree Singles of the DMV events :-) You are welcome whether you are single by choice or by circumstance. Scroll down to see related groups that are open to any relationship status.
Additionally: this is not a "meet market." Many of us desire to become DINKs at some point, while others do not; let's not assume the former for anyone. In the spirit of the overall group, this is inclusive in that regard. But please just come with the intent to have fun and connect with other CFs, not to hook up or partner up. If it happens naturally, awesome. But please don't have that goal in mind.
Let's build our childfree community, have great conversations, and do fun activities while getting to know each other in person!
We respectfully request your consideration in avoiding no-shows and short-notice non-emergency cancellations. Please note: we may reach out to "yes" RSVPs individually a day or two before an event and ask that you reconfirm your attendance status. Thank you.
Some events may be cross-posted with related childfree Meetups. Feel free to join our additional groups and Facebook pages! :-)

Dinner at Shaw's Tavern (rescheduled)
Shaw's Tavern, 520 Florida Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC, USHello!
In rescheduling from March, we'll meet up for dinner at Shaw's Tavern. A bunch of us went here when Bella DePaulo came for her book talk a couple of years ago. They have some nice low-key, reasonably priced options: https://www.shawstavern.com/ - I reserved some space on the covered outdoor patio. Hopefully, the weather is springy!
Street parking is free on weekends, but difficult to find. Alternatively, it's an eight-minute walk from the Shaw-Howard U stop on the Yellow/Green Line.
A couple of disclaimers: this is not a "meet market." Many of us desire to become DINKs at some point, while others do not; let's not assume the former for anyone. In the spirit of the overall group, this is inclusive in that regard. But please just come with the intent to have fun and connect with other CFs, not to hook up or partner up. If it happens naturally, awesome. But please don't have that goal in mind. You can bring a guest provided they're single and childfree.
If something comes up and you can't make it, please switch your RSVP to "no" by Friday, 4/24 at 5 p.m. That said, if you've repeatedly signed up and then switched your RSVP to "no," I reserve the right to move you to the waitlist if we have enough people wanting to go.
Reservations are limited to eight people; if anybody wants to make their own reservation so we can have more, let me know, and I'll increase the size.8 attendees
