About The Seattle Singles Meetup Group

Singles Meetup is what we're all about! It's tough sometimes to be single, but that doesn't mean that you have to be lonely

Are you new in town, and don't know a soul? Coming out of a relationship and back "on the market"? Looking to see who's out there, and wanting to meet that special someone? Or do you just want to come out and meet fun, friendly people in a low pressure, open social environment, with no cost to you (other than your own food and drink? Yeah, we're not THAT generous, sorry ). Then you've come to the right place!

Some of the fun, varied things we do include:

• Dinners out on the town
  
• Movies, concerts, plays, performances, and other cultural events
  
• Public street fairs
  
• Walking tours of museums and other public spaces
  
• Bonfires, potlucks and BBQ's
  
• Cooking classes
  
• Singles cruises
  
• Pub and lounge nights, mixers and other social gatherings
  
• Hiking and other outdoor activities
  
• Club and dance nights
  

? and pretty much anything else your wild imagination can come up with!

We hope you'll come join us, make some new friends, and hopefully make a love connection too! Hey, it's been known to happen. Besides, what else you gonna do on a Saturday night, eh?

And now, a little bit of necessary administration.

House Rules:

This is a private group. The organizer pays the monthly dues (currently $12/mo) and owns this group. We are firm believers of being positive, warm, passionate, and having second chances, which means that someone is only removed from the group for a good reason, but with exactly ONE warning.

Members may be removed at any time at the discretion of the organizers, for a variety of reasons including but not limited to:

• Threatening, harassing, libelous or slanderous activities, both in public or in private communications.
  
• Rude, obnoxious behavior towards any member of the group, especially the organizer / assistant organizers. And yes, WE decide what's rude and obnoxious.
  
• Behavior in violation of Meetup.com's Terms of Service, both in letter and in spirit.
  

Please take these points seriously, as we will not tolerate BS, period. This particularly includes "stalking" and email harassment. We take this very seriously, and not only will we kick you out of the group ? in some cases we will work with Meetup.com to terminate your account and possibly assist in any legal action against you. Don't be an idiot, behave like an adult, and all will be good in the world, ok? :-) Membership is a privilege and not a right, so play nice!

Also, please bear in mind that although this is a singles group, this is NOT a dating site like Match.com or eHarmony. People post their profiles for general information and to highlight what their interests are. These are not "ads" for singles, and you should not contact individuals inappropriately, especially if they have specifically asked you not to.

We also reserve the right to edit comments on all publicly viewable message boards, RSVP comments and event feedback. Since this is a privately owned and operated social group, the concept of free speech does not apply here.

Anyway, enough on that topic. Phew, don't you feel better already?

So you want to be an assistant or host an event?

Great! We definitely need all the help we can get to keep this group alive, interesting and appealing to a wide variety of people. If you want to host an event or become an assistant organizer (giving you the ability to post an event and edit the contents), please get in touch with the Organizer. We do ask that you have attended at least 2 or 3 events before you ask for this access, and preferably have some experience coordinating an event, especially if it is a large gathering. While the best organizers make an attempt to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for everyone at their event, by doing the rounds, making introductions and making sure everyone is having a good time, this is by no means a requirement. All we basically ask if you want to organize an event is that you show up on time, post a cell phone number where people can reach you, and if you can't make it ? either cancel the event and let everyone know, or send a replacement.

Commercial interests

In general, we don't allow commercial postings on our message boards (e.g. dating sites, "hookup" sites) etc. On occasion however, if something appears to be suitable for our group, we will post it as an event. However, we are under no obligation to post something that doesn't interest us or our members.
