For many singles, the trend toward group activities based on common interests breaks new ground in the dating arena. “In a sense, we’re going back to the future,” says Mary Vallone, President of Highlife Adventures (www.highlifeadventures.com). “It’s as though the ice cream social of the early 20th century has been kicked up several notches.”
Vallone explains that her approach serves to bring people together in a pressure-free setting. “When you attend an event, you’re meeting people you already have something in common with and who are all there to meet you,” she says. “And, when you’re having fun, you let your guard down and are more likely to meet the right person.”
Ultimately, Vallone concludes, “We don’t match anyone. Instead, we provide unique, fun events where groups of singles can meet one another and find what they seek – whether it’s a friend, a date, or a soulmate.”
