San Diego Singles Events SDYR Monthly Mixer Jul 25

If you’ve been reading my dating and relationship advice and tips blog for awhile now, you might have noticed that one of my themes is certainly to get out of dodge plus to mix up your activities so you are meeting a variety of other singles on a regular basis.

Back in college, you really didn’t have to make much of a concerted effort because between your academic and extra-curricular activities, you were perpetually building, nurturing, and extending you social circle day and day out.

However that was then and this is now.

Once you are past about age 25 or 18 years old, often your social circle has started to shrink.  Or certainly, its life is just kind of static.

No longer do you have 2 or 3 roommates with different jobs and association memberships than you.  When that was the case, all you had to do was to host a potluck cocktail party once a month or so, et voila, just sort of magically there would be many people showing up to your apartment who are within a few degrees of your personal interests and many of whom you have never met before.

That new blood and vitality was just nearly organically occurring in your life.

Well, those are days are typically long gone by the time we are 35, 40, 50, and older.  Now we must actually make a concerted effort to extend our social circle.

A San Francisco Bay Area journalist was just interviewing me, inquiring about Single Events.  There certainly are still many Singles Events put on these days.  However, with the advent of Internet Dating having moved completely into the mainstream where just about everyone has a dating profile posted at online dating sites, many singles are relying on that method alone to meet other singles and to take care of their social life.

How boring is that?

Look, I LOVE internet dating.  Social Networking is a marvelous thing.  However, we do still need to get out and about and actually interact live and interactive with other people.  I was telling the journalist that many of the best “singles” events for where singles can meet and mingle with each other are those where it is not a singles event per se, but where the event has another primary purpose and where the singleness is secondary.  Look for events where you know there will be a good percentage of other singles attending.  Often those are the best events to attend because it removes the singletons social pressure to meet “The One” tonight and simply to attend an event, stimulate your mind, and enjoy casually expanding your social circle.
