I posted this on the Connecticut singles group page, but it seems my fellow members are getting dusty with inaction - or maybe, good for them, they met someone. I got no responses at all, so I can't do any worse with the number of responses here unless there can be some kind of negative number.

Anyway have any of you been to any meetups - such as wine tasting? It seems a lot of the activities are geared to couples or singles who bring dates. That's not my cup of wine.

Yes, there is a very good singles dance group that meets in Burlington, MA. The organizer does a great job and started these in his very nice home; he's a motivational guy, does a lot of speeches to sales people, etc, and he does a lot to get people meeting each other. The group was originally for ages 40 - 65. I went to a few and found that most of the people were in the higher ends of the age range, though there were a few exceptions but there will be anywhere from 75 - 200 people there. Because a lot of us mid - late 40s types asked, he started a 30 - 50 group at his house. Those were excellent at first, I met someone I dated for a bit, but then he started doing kareoke at the parties and the demographics changed to a much older crowd the last time I was there, with probably the average age in the 60ish range.

The dance parties are well run and fun and inexpensive. People are there to meet other singles. I haven't been going to them, however, because most of the women are quite a bit older than me and I don't dance anyway so it's not a great venue for me and frankly kind of boring (to me), but if you like to dance and are in the right age group you'll love them. There are always some women there who are in their late 30s to late 40s but they are a minority and they are on the dance floor all of the time...so for a non-dancer like me, there really isn't much to do. If you like to dance, however, you'll love this group.

Are you asking about a Meet & Greet with fellow Advice board members?

I went to a Meet & Greet last year in GA and met a dozen or so of fellow Advice members. Had a great time, met some wonderful people and I would highly recommend going if you have the opportunity. Since I am not in the New England area I have no idea what sort of get together may be going on in that area.

If you just mean general meet ups with various people then you may want to take a look at Meetup.com to see if there are any activities that may be of interest to you in your area.

Yes, I was asking specifically about people's experiences with meetup.com.
