i would try to help but alas i know no such single women heck thats why i asked your wifey if she knew any single ladies that might be my type..

i do however think it would be a good idea to start having a dgn singles mixer maybe someone could host wink wink mr cupid this way people would know going into it who is single then leave it up to the singles to figure out if there into each other in a comfortable relaxed environment with friends. thats my idea and im sticken to it (dont hate me trying to help)edit to add

...see...I had an idea for a dance...& me wifey wanted to organize it...but, EVERYTIME the subject comes up, someone mocks it, & no one wants to be in on it for fear of being mocked..I know that a fine upstanding knightly boy such as yerself would never fear a bit o' mocking...but as for they....well, I mock them!

A dance...? Like an actual dance with dates and what not?

...not with dates...like with random drawings to make singles dance...a mixxer...

You were both against the idea...

The problem I have with it is that most of elements of a traditional mixer are already in place. People can meet here... or at least see who's available. If they want to talk... they actually might find it easier here, because they can PM. Lots of us are at City .. so there's the social aspect and the dance part. If someone is interested.. they can ask someone to dance. I think it would end up being really awkward if it was a special event. Mixers are for when most of the people don't know one another. We largely do.

If it was a significant chunk of unknown people to get to know, it would make more sense..

My $.02

Ah...I see...perhaps your 2 cents is worth more than a dollar today...I have the idea...I'll be back with a thread to hammer out the details...you know how the details oft need hammering, when I'm the instigator of ideas...but, I garontee a success!

[Msterbeau]

I have a bunch of different hammers in my toolbox. If you need to borrow one, you may.

[Msterbeau]

Oh... and I wish my $.02 were worth a dollar every day. I might be out of debt by now... :-/

[Raev]

oh and by the way I nominate Raev up for grabs..

Ladies? Any takers?

I'd go for it, as long as the reward went as a donation toward DGN running.

I don't think there will be all that many people PMing EnViOuSpoPpEt to take her up on it though

But - I'll fly blind on it if anyone does. In the spirit of keeping DGN running, I'll go with whoever she sends.

all i have to say is city is a gawd awful place to socialize proper that and the music sucks to no end sure you dont feel bad if you cant dance because at city nobody knows how to dance. but come on people we need a better place to socialize outside of the board that doesnt include necto or city and by this i mean houses people we open up more in home like surroundings or at least quieter ones. also i dont want to be bothered by the douche factor that seems to be pestering city from what i gather from everyones posts also how is the gimp going to socialize too he always has to work the door and we cant exclude any of our single people from the social factor. (note not trying to single out gimp just using you as an example cause you do work the door at city a whole lot and i noticed you dont get to socialize that much) but back to what i was saying other reasons a house mixer for the singles would be better

1-dj would be more open to take requests and not bound by city law to play shitty shitty music.

2-better lighting because you have to see what they look like in natural light sometime.

3-not so much noise and distractions because i know there is at least a few here that like to hear what the other person is saying or want the other person to be attentive to them and not distracted by all the shit going on at city.

4- only dgn members and friends no douche factor or tourists.

5-cause i said so.(anybody feel free to add more reasons why a house mixer would be better)

i need to take a nap or something i think my brain wants to shut down i usually have a million reasons why anything is better then city club like for example eating dog shit would be a better option then going to city club depending on the night or the crowd. i know cherny could come up with some good reasons.

edit to add talking with people in person can be better then online for one main reason body language how can you tell if a person really likes you or is truly interested without the all important body language.

If we wanted to do a mixerish thing.. We should open it up to friends of friends who are single. Not strictly DGN but maybe not too far outside either. People would be encouraged to invite friends they think would be compatible with someone who they new would attend...

Call it the sub-culture sock hop.

[StormKnight (1)]

I was hoping for something a bit more intimate than a group thing personally. Something one-on-one dinner, where there isn't a group around you to distract from talking to the other person.

But that is just me being a bit of a romantic. *shrug*

I think we're talking about two separate things at this point. And I agree with you, when it comes to getting to know someone, it's MUCH more comfortably done one on one. It doesn't even have to be romantic... it's just easier without distractions.

You just want to see hot chicks in striped socks.

Where do I get a ticket?

[StormKnight (1)]

Nope. For the most part, I have felt left out of group things. Reminds me too much of childhood, where I got lost in the shuffle easily, (like being-forgotten-for-dinner-when-I-was-just-ten-feet-away-downstairs-with-an-open-door type easily.) I want to be one-on-one one, where the force to pay attention to each other is there.

My $.02

the problem with places like city club is that a lot of people are very outgoing and flirty, but are spoken for. i, for one, am not interested in "asking someone to dance" or what-have-you, if they are already with someone, out of respect for their relationship. a "singles-mixer" would be a lot better, if we could think of ways for people to know who is/isn't single/available.

that make any sense?

i should also add that getting to know people on here can be pretty difficult. it's much easier to get a vibe off someone in person...

We could do speed dating? It fits that you'd be able to talk to everyone and in a one on one setting. And then have an event after or start with an event. I'm thinking theme party.... (I swear, any excuse to wear costuming)

I still think we don't have quite enough of a pool of eligible people here. I think some compatible Non-DGNers would give the whole thing a better chance of working.
