Date Me, If You Dare is not the ordinary dating community. We like to have fun while being daring. Why be daring? Here’s why: Did you know that scientific studies have shown that when people participate in an event that produces an adrenaline rush they feel a closer connection thus creating a bond. This bond could be a closer friendship or where dating is involved, a closer love relationship. So no wonder the tough-sexy heroine always falls in love the handsome bad boy hero. Adrenaline is sexy …

Speed-dating can be expensive. The entry price alone is around $35 to $40, and then you have the drinks and transportation... This would all be fine if you felt pretty sure you were going to meet your one-and-only that night, but often you simply need to go a few times to come across the person that's right for you. Don't get us wrong - we're huge fans of speed-dating. We think it way better than online dating, as you can not beat a quick face-to-face encounter to establish if the chemistry is r …

This group started out as a meetup for gals who love wine in San Diego, and now that some of us have moved, we are starting this group here in San Francisco.

As longtime grassroots activists on global issues, we noticed that most gatherings were centered around specific projects, and there were not spaces to support our journeys to make a global difference. Globalicious Gatherings are a smallish, heart-centered circle of women and men who live locally (SF Bay) and who are working to effect positive change globally This grassroots change work is challenging, and for our visions to be realized it helps to connect with, encourage and support each other …

Meetup is great, but have you ever noticed how many of the social groups for people over 20 are singles groups? That one looks cool,... damn, can't do that. That's an event I'd like,... nope, can't do that. It's not that I begrudge that at all, I just want to have some fun with a cool group of people too. There's also the kid thing - I love kids in moderation but choose not to have my own. When you have kids, it is natural they are a huge and important part of your life - but don't you want to g …

This group is for girls in their 20's who are looking to make long-lasting and gratifying friendships. You may think this an odd title for a group of this sort, so allow me to share a story. This quote is from one of my all-time favorite books, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but that's not what I think of when I hear it. In my spring semester of 2011, I studied abroad in Rome and made friends with two amazing girls. These girls and I found that our common ground was a crazy thirst for life and …
