This is **not** a speed-dating event. There are no timers, no forced pairings, and no pressure. Just great energy, guided social moments, and plenty of time to mingle naturally. ### **Mixer Entry Criteria — Who This Event is For** To attend, you must meet at least **3 of** the following: * Earning at least $75K annually * Seeking a serious, long-term relationship * Hold a university or college degree/diploma * Fluent in English and enjoy engaging in conversations * Socially confident, with experience in meaningful relationships ## Dress Code: Formal Attire Dress to impress — polished, confident, and date-ready. **Men:** Dress shirt with slacks or dark denim, dress shoes (blazer optional) **Women:** Winter dress, pantsuit, chic top with slacks, or a formal jumpsuit with heels, boots, or dressy flats ## Event Schedule ### **6:00 – 7:00 PM \| Welcome & Icebreaker** Arrive, grab your drink, and settle into the evening. We’ll start with a light, fun icebreaker game (**Never Have I Ever**) to break the ice and get conversations flowing — relaxed, playful, and pressure-free. ### **7:00 – 9:00 PM \| Open Mingling & Conversations** Enjoy open mingling in a warm, elevated atmosphere.

Bring a friend for moral support (even if they’re not single). **Support Ticket (Non-Singles)** Friends joining for vibes only will get a different-colored wristband and enjoy the social atmosphere without joining singles-only moments. Think *wingperson energy*, not third-wheel awkwardness 😉 ## A Curated Experience While this is not a formal matchmaking event, select guests may be invited to explore deeper connections with our team following the evening. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create a relaxed, elegant, and enjoyable Valentine’s night. 📲 **Follow us on Instagram: @[southasiansocials](https://www.instagram.com/southasiansocials/ "https://www.instagram.com/southasiansocials/")** Limited spots available.

Attend a free seminar on how to have successful and lasting relationships. At this seminar you will learn: How to spot and handle negative and toxic relationships. How to get through the "rough patches" in a relationship. How to choose the right people to work with. The three things that make or break any relationship. How to make a good relationship great. All are welcome. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. Hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

**First Gathering: Love as Transformation** Reading: **The Forty Rules of Love** by **Elif Shafak** We begin Men, Meaning, and Madness with a novel that treats love not as sentiment, but as a force that disrupts, humbles, and reshapes the self. The Forty Rules of Love explores love as discipline, surrender, and moral risk. It asks what happens when certainty breaks, when the ego is wounded, and when meaning is found not through control, but through transformation. This gathering is for men interested in serious literature and honest inquiry into how love shapes character, responsibility, and the inner life. Discussion will be guided by questions rather than summaries. The aim is depth, not debate. Come having read the book or engaged with it seriously.
