What we’re about
Welcome to Singles in the DMV!
This group is for singles 25 and up! We have a great mix of genders, ages and races. This is a great alternative to the dating apps and allows us to meet organically over time at various events. We have a lot of fun together. All events are on the events calendar. Check out all our photos from past events under the photos tab as well.
*******PLEASE NOTE- We welcome all members, however before signing up, please ensure you are providing at least your first name and an updated picture of yourself. Fraud is a problem on Meetup and we want to make sure we are interacting with real individuals. Thanks!
