3606 -COFFEEMATING May 15
Connecting Through Circulating & Percolating. By being approachable, using verbal/non-verbal love signals and engaging in small talk, coffee daters are able to circulate and percolate with greater ease during this provocative evening. CoffeeMating is a series of ongoing, fast 5 minute 1-to-1 exchanges or "mini dates." Throughout the evening, men & women pair off, talk for a short time and "snowball" and move on to the next potential "date." Some call it romantic musical chairs, and others call it speed-dating. After each date, coffee daters fill in a "yes" or "no" on their date cards. If the attraction is mutual, a match is made. This organized, low pressure setting is a great alternative to bars and large social events. It eliminates the awkwardness of asking for a telephone number or feeling pressure to give a number, and it provides a sure-fire way to meet many people in a short period of time. CoffeeMating gives new meaning to the expression, "Let's meet over a cup of coffee!"
