The Meeting Game Salon - A New Way to Meet That Special Someone!

Cut Through the Small Talk!

If you're like a lot of people, the first three things you want when you're looking to meet someone are...

An introduction -- naturally, the more women you meet the better your chance of meeting the women who are right for you -- as friends or a romantic partner;
A way to find the common ground you share with the women to whom you're introduced -- you want to get to know them and you want them to get to know you;
The ability to smoothly and politely disengage from an interaction when you're ready, with no hurt feelings on either side.

Maybe you've found that other ways of meeting women -- bars, parties, dancing, personal ads, and the Internet just don't seem to work all that well. Or maybe you'd just like to broaden your search for new friends or romantic partners. You may be tired of trying to make conversation about "the band," "the food," and the weather. Perhaps you're bored with superficial chit-chat. Are you ready to meet some new people on a more meaningful level? You're not alone!

Now there are new, better ways to meet women! Our events provide fun, casual, and informative first meetings between lesbian and bisesxual women, taking into account these 3 goals:

And you're going to have a good time!

We sponsor three different events -- The Meeting Game Salon, 5-Minute Dating, and Dinner Date! We have events monthly at a variety of Bay Area locations. We've been providing events for lesbian women since 1999. Here's a brief description of each of our programs:

The Meeting Game ^® Salon
Meet up to 50 women, a few at a time, at an evening of short, structured, thought-provoking, group conversations and ice-breakers. Find out what they like to do for fun, what their values are, and what they're doing with their lives. You'll have the opportunity to get to know them, and for them to get to know you, too.

We divide everyone up by interests and hobbies, then sit down in groups of six for a 10-minute conversation on a topic such as, "Who's been your greatest role model?" or "If you were to invite someone from history to dinner, who would it be, and why?" or "What are the advantages and disadvantages of being the pursued versus the pursuer?" Then we rotate and have a different conversation with a different group of women.

One of the best things about The Meeting Game Salons is that they're fun! Placing the focus on conversation and other ice-breakers puts meeting someone in its proper perspective -- a bonus to be savored at the end of an enjoyable evening! Regular admission is $20 in advance, or $25 day of the event, on a space-available basis.

5-Minute Dating™
If a friend invited you to a party where you could meet up to 50 women, and promised she'd tell you afterwards which of them were interested in you, would you go?

In one night, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy short, individual, conversations with as many women as you can "date" in one night! Then, confidentially select those you'd like to see again, and be notified of those who feel the same way about you! You'll receive contact information for all of your matches the following week. Regular admission is $25 in advance, or $30 day of the event. One participant called it, "A shorthand version of a year's worth of dates!"™

Dinner Date!™
Join us for dinner at a table (or two) of 10 to 20 women, at one of the Bay Area's great restaurants.

Includes ice-breakers, periodic seat rotation, separate checks, and all the new friends you can make in one evening! Exchange phone numbers or send us an email to forward to those in whom you're interested, following the event. By advance reservation: $15 + dinner via online registration or $20 + dinner via phone reservation. On various nights at a variety of restaurants, Bay-area wide. "Sitting down to dinner together warms people nicely."

Make sure to add your name to our notification list and we'll keep you posted about events in your area!
