Do you have friends who are in happy relationships and all coupled up? Most of us do.

They usually have an interesting story to tell about how they came to be together. If they haven't shared their story with you, ask them to do so. Very often you will find that they didn't have an instant attraction. They may have met a few times before there were any sparks flying.

We receive requests for contact numbers after our dinners as you know. It's a fantastic gauge that the dinner was a success and people made connections. There's the obvious ones where a man requests a lady's number or a lady requests a man's number. But also many times it is for friendship as well. When single, it's very important to have single friends to spend time with.

Once we receive  a reply we pass the contact number on to the person who asked for it. But sometimes the answer is a no.

All of our members have an interesting story to tell. Why not at least catch up for a coffee or a drink? It's a good idea to meet for a brief catchup the first time. That way if there isn't a connection you can go your own ways. But, you may find that you have more in common that you first thought.

If your happily coupled up friends hadn't gotten together after their first meeting they wouldn't be together today. Say yes to another catch up.
