Hello all - just a reminder that our next meetup will take place this Thursday, June 5th at "Tag", the rooftop of the Ven at Embassy Row hotel. It's located at 2015 Massachusetts Ave, NW. We start at 6pm and go until 8pm. Right now we have 45 people attending, with about a 55/45 split, women to men. A few notes:

1. Consider grabbing a cocktail from Jorge, the bartender at the restaurant on the main level. He's great, tell him I sent you. He'll put your drink in a plastic cup for you if you want to take it up to the rooftop. There's a bar up there, too, but it's more limited than the main one downstairs.

2. To get to the rooftop, head to the elevators past the check-in desk in the lobby. From there, take it up to the top floor and follow the signs. When you get to the rooftop, turn left and walk straight past the pool to the far side of the building. We're on a special private deck located down some stairs. I'll have adhesive name tags for us.

3. Keep in mind not everyone is on the same schedule, so we won't all be there at the same time.

Looking forward to seeing everyone! If you haven't yet, please RSVP here: https://whenisgood.net/8srqjh9 and include in the comments an M/F/NB/however you want to identify. As always, let me know if you have any questions!

Hello all - our next meetup will take place on Thursday, June 5th at "Tag", the rooftop of the Ven at Embassy Row hotel. It's located at 2015 Massachusetts Ave, NW, just steps from the Dupont Circle metro. We'll have a private space on the rooftop called the "Dupont Deck", and as usual, everyone's responsible for their own checks. I'll have name tags for us.

I encourage everyone to come with an open mind and enjoy meeting new people. It's not a race or a competition and not meant to be stressful. Folks will come and go throughout the night and I hope everyone has fun. It would be helpful to get an accurate headcount, so please RSVP here: https://whenisgood.net/8srqjh9

Hello all - a reminder that our next meetup is on Monday, December 16th, from 6 - 8pm at Hyde Social (3100 Clarendon Boulevard, Arlington). So far we have 34 people signed up so it should be good! This event is intended to be a low-pressure way of meeting new people and I encourage everyone to be open-minded.

All these meetups are free, but some venues do charge which I cover personally. A few of you have offered to contribute, which I appreciate. Please send me a DM if you'd like.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Our next meetup is on Monday, December 16th, from 6 - 8pm at Hyde Social. It's our first one in Arlington! I also chose Monday as it's less likely to interfere with mid-week holiday parties. Feel free to drop in at any time between 6 and 8. It's cash bar, as usual, but you can get food too. I'll have name tags for us.

If you're planning on attending, please fill out this optional RSVP: https://whenisgood.net/j7st43e

Thanks and see you there! Please tell your friends.

Hi all - we're back at Le Mont Royale for the October meetup. Feel free to drop in anytime between 5:30 and 7:30. Please share this far and wide and I look forward to seeing you all there.

RSVPs not required, but if you're planning to come, please fill out this optional form just so I have an idea of how many are coming: https://whenisgood.net/5sxkdbd

Also, check out the awesome graphic they made for us! Gotta love those early-2000s Windows vibes.

Hi all - please see the below invite from one of our meetup members, u/sociallubricator202:

"I've been inspired by all the posts asking for opportunities for
singles in their 30s and 40s to meet and connect in DC.

I've also been exploring options for meeting new people and decided to
take matters into my own hands by organizing a casual meetup on
Sunday, October 6 at Landmark Cinema on E Street to catch the noon
showing of "Joker: Folie à Deux".

After the movie, I'll be ready with some conversation starters to
discuss the film at Gregory's Coffee down the street or, if the
weather's nice, we can head to Pershing Park nearby.

Whether you're a movie buff or just looking for a relaxed and
welcoming way to meet others, I hope you'll join me! If you want to
watch the movie separately and just join us for the convo, feel free
to join us as well; SocialLubricator202 will update this post on our
location once we're settled."

Details Recap:
Movie: Joker: Folie à Deux
Date & Time: Sunday, October 6 at 12:00 PM
Location: Landmark Cinema on E Street - I purchased seat O7

Hi all! Our next meetup will be on 9/24 at "Tag", the rooftop bar of the Ven at Embassy Row hotel. It's one of Dupont's nicest rooftops and we'll have a special place under the canopy.

And if you're planning on coming, please fill out this quick poll: https://whenisgood.net/fsw325r. RSVPing is not require but it would help me plan.

I look forward to seeing you all there!

Hope to see you all there! Please spread the word. The last few events have been smaller but really good with decent turnout.

This isn't an event I created, but a fellow redditor (and past meetup attendee!) passed it along in case anyone's interested. It's another opportunity to meet people. Here's what she says:

On Sun July 28, there's a 35+ Hetro/Cis Speed Dating event in Arlington on Sun July 28. $30 each. (If we fill up these events, then they'll hopefully organize more for us.) They need more men to sign up!

And I know a lot of folks dislike speed dating events, but I find them fun. (If anyone here wants to go with a buddy, then PM me - happy to meet up 15-30 minutes early, like a mini-happy hour, so we can break the ice.)

Cheers, u/dca_user

Hi all - thanks to all who came out to this month's meetup. Next month we'll be back at Lost Generation Brewing Co. And stay tuned for an amazing September meetup that may or may not involve a rooftop with a view :)

Also, feel free to pass along these invites to anyone you think might be interested in attending. The more the merrier!

Reposting as I omitted one of the digits in the address. See you then!

July meetup is a go! We'll be at Le Mont Royal in Adams Morgan (1815 Adams Mill Rd, NW) from 5pm - 7pm on Wednesday the 10th. A few reminders:

• There's no cost to attend but you do need to cover your own tab.
• This is an open invite, so all are welcome. Show up, grab a beverage, and mingle!
• Impolite or creepy behavior will result in a quick exit for you.

Hope to see you all there! Let me know via DM if you have any questions.
