What we’re about
The vision for this group is to schedule and to share news on social activities events which can be a relaxed way to meet people who also happen to be single. In other words, meeting new people in a more natural way without all the artificiality of internet dating apps. No, I won't be organising 'speed date events' either.
If you share my perception that 'dating' nowadays has become too focused on folks expecting to find a match online or to expect to feel 'chemistry' after one coffee date, then I agree. I prefer the idea that folks can meet and make new acquaintances without such pressure. Perhaps the events posted here, can lead to new friendships or more.
I hope that anyone who chooses to join here, might want to consider also suggesting and share upcoming events in Oxford as an activity to attend. I will limit numbers to attend to max 10 persons and only two events per month. These could be events in pubs or cultural visits or a walk and lunch etc.
Eventually, events may have a suggested age range for attendance but for now I wish to permit anyone to attend an event.
GROUP RULES:
-
You must genuinely be single to attend our events.
-
Be sure to post a visible photo of your face on the profile photo and it shouldn't be 20 years old photo!
If you ignore this request, I will send you two reminders to post a profile and then after that, your profile will get deleted.
The rationale is to ensure that people attending events can recognise each other and that anyone attending is genuinely single and so has nothing to hide.
- WARNING TO RESPECT PEOPLE'S PRIVACY, IF YOU PRIVATE MESSAGE SOMEONE.
This specifically is being mentioned more for the sake of any women who may decide to create a profile on this group to reassure you...
If you see someone's profile on here and you would like to contact them directly via their profile, then please respect the fact that if someone has not replied to your message after two messages, then it's bad manners to keep messaging someone.
In any case, while it's fine to send a greeting to someone here via this profile, the purpose of this meetup group is to actually meet people in person during events scheduled and it's not intended to be a substitute for some kind of dating app.
- MAKE SURE TO MARK IN ADVANCE, IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND EVENT.
If you RSVP to plan to attend an event and then you can no longer attend, please change your RSVP on the event page to as all events are limited to 10 persons.
Caveat- if I can see that an event has a poor ratio balance of men to women, then I may decide to open a waiting list to permit more people to then request to RSVP.
