How to Meet Other Single People Without Feeling Pressure

by Carol Gordon of the Single Gourmet

Let's be honest, an unattached man or woman faces a lot of pressure as a single person

And there are many unattached people today. Whether they're single, separated, widowed or divorced, they're really all single. And they all face the same problem, men and women alike. We live in a world of instant expectations that puts enormous pressure on single people when they want to meet other singles.

We hear the same story when singles come to us so we know it's true. Whether they go to dances, bars or dating services the feeling for singles is the same. They have to create an instant image as if they're merchandise to be accepted or rejected.

Meet and mingle comfortably

It doesn't have to be like that. There is an easy way single people can meet and mingle comfortably with other unattached men and women right here in Ottawa. And there's no pressure, only the pleasure of good company, good food and easy conversation. The Single Gourmet has been active in Ottawa for 10 years now. We're not a dating service but an International Dining Club with affiliates in most major Canadian and American Cities.

When you're a member, you meet a steady stream of other interesting single people. We host about one "event" a week, from Intimate Dinners and Gala Dinner Dances to Murder Mystery Nights.

Yes, we take care of all the details. And what's really important is that you're personally welcomed at any event you choose to attend in a manner that puts you immediately at ease. You belong.

But remember, the heart of Single Gourmet really is pleasure without pressure. It's a change to meet new friends… and perhaps that one special person. It's elegant surroundings and superb dining. It's fun and adventure.
