OC Singles who Mingle 45+

Brea, CA

Hey Hey!! Welcome to OC Singles who Mingle 45+!! Thank you for checking us out! Please note that this is a private and exclusive social group for meeting people and new friends in-person and face to face and NOT a Dating Site. Being single doesn't mean you have to be alone, nor looking for a romantic partner.

We are a group of like-minded individuals who want to get out and do stuff with others who may have the same interests or learn new ones. Let's meet and hang out with other fun peeps.

But please, NO CREEPY vibes, Stalking or hook-ups. Also, please keep any drama and gossip OUTSIDE of this group.

Because we are a private and exclusive group, we are selective with which "Requests to Join" are accepted and will remove those members who we later decide are not a good fit for various reasons and also those who are not actively attending events. Unlike some groups who only care about the size of the group, we care about quality over quantity.

We are a Brand New Group of fun adults, on average in their mid 40s thru 60s, who enjoy mingling together while making new quality friendships and enjoying social activities and events like:

Bike Riding, Tactical Training, Hiking, Walking, Axe Throwing, Karaoke, Dining Out, Happy Hour, Comedy Clubs, Road Trips, Int'l & Domestic Travel, Potlucks, House Parties, Get Togethers and anything else that looks like fun. It’s limitless. We don't just "say"... we "do". If you’re interested in hosting an event, let me know! Yay!!

Our goal is to create and build a solid group of hopefully close friends, like a second family maybe, that you look forward to seeing again and again at the next event. We want you to feel like this group is your home and that you are welcomed and fit right in.

We want you smiling, laughing and having a great time and a great experience at whatever event of ours that you choose to attend! You'll notice that we not only have a LOT of events per week, but various kinds because we happen to LOVE variety! Please feel free to give me suggestions and let's see what we can come up with. Hey, this is the second half of our lives - let's enjoy it, together! Life is short!

We care about honest, respectful, loyal, trustworthy quality people. We want to create a safe space for everyone, especially for those who desire it. If there is ever an issue, please private message me.

OC Girlfriend Circles

Irvine, CA

Are You Interested In: 

• Making meaningful friendships? 

• Learning new skills to improve the friendships you have? 

• Meeting women who share your desire for healthy friendships? 

• Making real connections with women who are also looking for the same? 

We are looking for: 

• Women of all ages (21 to 101), in all stages of life who are seeking to find, create and build friendships. 

• Women who want to improve their friendship skills. 

• Women who are willing to be responsible for their behaviors and be respectful of others.

Who we are:

Our group was founded in August 2014.  We are a Women's Friendship group based on the concepts and principles in 2 books by Shasta Nelson.  

In "Friendships Don't Just Happen" we learn about the 5 Types or Circles of Friendships that we have in our lives and how to strengthen those circles so that we have friends in all areas of our life.

In "Frientimacy" we learn that there are 3 requirements to every friendship: Consistency, Positivity and Vulnerability.  The book goes into depth about each of these, how to develop them, and how to know which might be missing in your friendships.

We use these teachings by requiring consistency and commitment from our members.  You can't get to know people deep enough to develop and strengthen your friendship if you don't see them regularly.  Statistics tell us that it takes 7 interactions with one person to really start building friendship.  We keep our group numbers small, less than 50, to help improve the chances that you'll see the same people over and over again.

We are NOT just about the fun events or finding someone to do something with you.  We are very focused on our connections and for this reason there is always a time for connecting at every event.  This is the crucial component of our activities.  I understand that finding events you enjoy is important and we all LOVE to do fun stuff while creating memories and strengthening our bond but if the fun event is all you're looking for we aren't the right fit for you, there are LOTS of other Meetups for that.

We are open, warm and friendly.  

My Southern upbringing tends to shine through and I will go out of my way to make you feel welcome and included as will the rest of the group members.  

What we’re offering: 

• Interesting and fun events from low-key local OC to adventures around SoCal. 

• Examples of what we've done in the past:

Painting & Wine                             Escape Rooms                   Universal Studios/Disneyland              Glen Ivy Spa Day

Oscar Night Viewing Party          Slumber Parties                 Afternoon Tea                                         Museum visits

Scavenger Hunts                           Movies                                Restaurant Hopping                              Wine Tastings

Day-trips with carpooling             Girlfriend Getaways         Dancing & Concerts                              Theater 

• Events in evenings, daytime, weekday, weeknights, and weekends. 

• Pre-set monthly events: 

• Girlfriends Lunch on the first Thursday

• Girl's Night Out on the second Friday

• a Birthday Celebration event on the third Saturday for all the birthday ladies for that month

• Brunch & Fun day on the fourth Sunday

• We also have other events thrown in at various times, usually on the weekends but the occasional weeknight or weekday does sometimes happen too.

• Meaningful discussions and practical applications of great books/blogs on friendship including "Friendships Don’t Just Happen" by Shasta Nelson. 

• A welcoming, compassionate, and drama-free place for meeting new ladies and making genuine friendships.

Our guidelines/policies:

• The $25 membership dues are collected annually.  All new members receive a 30-day free trial before their dues is collected.  Dues are not pro-rated and are non-refundable.

• We try to keep our membership roster up-to-date and current.  As you can tell, we are not about the number of members but more about active, involved and committed members.  If you are not actively pursuing attendance at events, you may be removed.

• Please keep lines of communication with the organizer(s) open and timely.  Please make sure the organizer(s) know the best method of reaching you.

• If payment is required for an event, the member is responsible for any fees that may be associated with making online payments and unless stated otherwise, are non-refundable.

• No marketing or self-promoting of professional services of any kind

Eclectic Introverts of OC

Orange, CA

Hi and welcome to Eclectic Introverts of OC!

This group is for those quirky introverts out there looking for support and a place to hang out with other fellow like-minded souls. As much as we love the comfort and quietness of our home, being in hermit mode can get a little lonely. I want to create a space where we can go out and feel at ease in knowing you’re not the only one with feelings of social anxiety, awkwardness or having a solitary disposition. I think it can be restorative being aware that others are in the same boat. This group will hold an encouraging atmosphere for everyone to venture out into the world without the pressure of conforming to extroverted ways.

My intention for this meetup is to help get introverts out of their comfort zones, myself included, and create new connections, ease the scary feelings of daily life, develop skills to cope with everyday challenges and forming our own community of introverts helping introverts. :-)

Planned events will include fun indoor/outdoor activities such as chilling at various coffee shops, going on nature walks, the movies, attending art galleries/museums, concerts, special indie related outings, book discussions, good eats/drinks, beach-related stuff, basically whatever you would like to have the opportunity to encounter is game for this group.

I’m excited to discover new places and experiences with you all!

Disneyland for Singles and Solos

Anaheim, CA

Welcome to Disneyland for Singles and Solo. This group recognizes the needs of unpartnered people who do not want to visit Disneyland alone. If you would like to meet someone to go to the parks with, this group is for you! We will engage is a number of different activities at THE park that include, but go beyond scurrying from ride to ride. Hidden Mickey hunts and trivia walks are a standard! The group is for all humans over 18, all race, color, sexual, or gender orientation, and handicaps. Sorry, the little green aliens from Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters are not welcome. People who are married but wish to visit THE parks without their partner are welcome too, The profile question may seem lame, but they are bedrock to my personal philosophy of "Safe, Sane, and Consensual" when interacting with others. A voluntary $5 annual membership will be requested starting in 2022 to offset the costs of organizer dues. There is no business enterprise associated with this group. To bring up a sensitive issue, if you RSVP for a Meetup, please cancel the night before if you can't make it. Others attending a meetup like to know how many are coming and sometimes base their decision of that information. Please be kind to your fellow members! Rain does not cancel meetups! Some of my best times in the park were when it was raining long and hard. If you can't make it the day of the meetup. please message me to explain why. Repeat "no-shows" will be removed from the group and their treats fed to the park ducks.
