What we’re about
IMPORTANT: Meetup is not a dating website. Meetup is about building community, helping people have fun and make new friends. It is not appropriate, therefore, to message someone on Meetup unless you have actually met that person IN REAL LIFE at a Meetup event. --Michael P.
We are the group for singles in the Triangle to meet and enjoy fun events together. With an age range from 21-65+, we have a diverse group of people. <br>
Our goal is to provide events that are welcoming and give singles the opportunity to talk and mingle with other singles in an effort to increase their local singles network and possibly find that special someone.
If you would like to be an event organizer/host for the group, please contact group organizer Michael P: michael623@yahoo.com or 919-727-4588. <br>
