If I go to an event I think I'm going to wear this:

Then everyone will know its me.

Don't worry about the cliques. Have some compassion. They are just insecure and need their blankets to make them feel better.


Love it!!!!

Be yourself and if they don't like it, their loss. :)

I think a fun thing to do at an event if your nervous, is find someone more outgoing than you and introduce yourself to them, and see if you can get them to help you set up an impromtu dance contest. An Emote Smilie dance contest! I wanna try and dance like these little guys! , , , , , ,

Now these guys look like they are having a good time! Bring your smart phone, so you can look at the smilies and remind yourself how the dance moves go, and oh!.. Use same said phone to take a video of the contest! POF has some awesome smilies!

This will be a great way to make a Fool of yourself! grin

Oh! Be sure to practice a bit before going to the event, or you might cave under the pressure.

I think I like this guy best! Reminds me of getting out of the shower, and this guy probly has a towel drying off the back side.

I think it's a great idea to find the host/hostess immediately. They're there to help and probably already know a few people there. He/she can get you started by introducing you to a couple people until you feel comfortable to wing it.

Don't give up! Go, and have fun trying!

This will be my first POF event and I am looking forward to it. I am going alone so I can meet others without fear of wondering where your date went. As a woman I do not have a problem approaching a guy and saying hello. If you get rejected you will live another day. I am mainly going to meet guys though. I enjoy watching people also. What to wear what to wear? Does anyone know if this place is like a dive? or an upscale type?

It's not that complicated! It is about eye contact! If you get it, go for it.

At a party a few months ago, in a loud crowded bar, I noticed a real cute girl about 6 people away. After the 5th really strong eye contact between us, I said in my head "don't mess this up FOOL" and when over and said "Hi who are you?".

Ladies rule: No continual eye contact if your not interested.

Guys rule: No foaming at the mouth. If she is interested, she will MAKE SURE you have future contact.

mixers ? Surviving POF events

#1 I know where your coming from - maybe if there were some sort of game where people could interact with each other in a friendly way...

Where can a person go to find NEW events at - I dropped out of this site for a while & it has changed a lot... We wanted to host one at our place that would NOT cost any money & there is no music system. It's a driving range...

Thanks Group!

I suggested this game for one of the partys and everyone had fun with it.


Suggestion for a game;

How about a variation of the old card game "Fish"

Use 2 decks. The red cards for girls and blue cards for guys.

Spread /mix cards on a table, then everyone draws and goes fishing for their card in the other color.

If you find your match, the guy will buy the drinks.

I knew 6 cards in the first half hour, and normally not an outgoing guy.


Note for host, start with 10 or 20 matches in the ponds. ( so your match card gets picked )

Be prepared to talk a lot. And have good excuses to move on to another person if you are getting a life story. Don't tell your life story. Chat about what is going on that evening. Don't talk about ex's. Be positive. Be prepared to go home disappointed.
