It Takes 2 (or more?)--Chicago Area Singles Learn To Socialize Before Dating
St. Charles, IL (PRWeb) March 7, 2007 -- The Chicago singles scene is shifting from speed to need as singles group participants settle into the swing of things. Crazes like "the speed date" (Taste and Date) and other fast-paced singles-group activities are being visited multiple times. But now it's not just to meet another person--instead people are attending these events to meet that person again in a safe environment. It's a trend that many singles groups are happy to participate in. Even if it's love at first sight, sometimes a second meeting can make all the difference.
Singles group entrepreneurs, like Christa Thomas (from Intro2Singles.com) are watching closely as the sparks fly at their own singles events.
"Over the past two years our singles events have had multiple return guests. At first this was an occurrence that had me worried. I'm primarily an event planner so I can understand why they would want to attend our exciting events multiple times. But the match-maker side of me made me wonder why they've been returning (sometimes in pairs) rather than simply dating outside Intro2™."
Who knew? But it is now quite obvious these singles events are the perfect place to not only meet Mr. or Ms. Right, but to also confirm the connection, or simply learn how to socialize with that person before taking the dating plunge. Christa sums it by emphasizing that "There's no better, safer, or more entertaining way to make sure your match is truly a match."
Karen T. (soon to be Karen P.) is one of Intro2's multi-event attending clients. Her Intro2 love match is one of many that Christa is definitely proud of.
"We connected on the night of the photo-shoot..." said Karen, "but I didn't realize how much until the Birthday Bash," where they met for the fourth time a few weeks later. Sure, the first event brought Karen T. and new fiancé Brian P. together. But it was the fourth meeting that really sealed the deal. Today they are scheduled for an October wedding and we can be very sure that Intro2 will be toasting them at events to come.
So, as Chicago area singles start to abandon the one-night-stand approach to singles events, they too may soon find themselves--like Karen and Brian--making the big leap into dating. It's a multi-faceted, and now increasingly popular way to get into the Chicago area dating scene without risk.
Try it for yourself by attending your first event on Tuesday, March 13th. The Intro2Singles 2nd Anniversary "Taste and Date" event promises to be a blast for all. 7PM at the Villa Verone in Geneva, Illinois. All ages above 21 are welcome. Register Online HERE!

Parenting resources can be hugely useful especially for those who have children with learning or behavioral difficulties and are growing increasingly popular, as people are now less afraid of asking for help.
