Loud music dictates against any but the most rudimentary conversation, and dancing well together seems, again, not to be much of an indicator of the soul-mate potential of one's partner. In the past, that group has been the family, the circle of friends, school, or the church. As a participant, you'll find out what everyone likes to do for fun, their values, and wha're doing with their lives. You'll have the opportunity to know and be known, all without awkward introduction or disengagement. Opportunities are provided for you to connect on an individual basis with attractive participants whom you've identified throughout the evening as worthy of further attention.
Personal ads are great conversation starters.
I wonder if the weather will hold. You can read the ads and then go find the men that wrote the ones that interest you, or go read up about that attractive man across the room, or someone who was in one of your earlier conversation groups. We think a lot of people are ready for a new way to meet each other in a brief, but meaningful way.
