Triangle Couples Without Kids Social Group(DINKs-if we must)
|
The Triangle offers numerous social opportunities for singles and couples with children. If you are a couple without children (particularly of a certain age), those opportunities start to diminish. That's where this group can hopefully help! If you and your significant other are looking to socialize with others in a similar situation, then let's give this a shot. It's intended to be as inclusive as possible- married, dating, gay or straight-everyone is welcome. The goal is to meet other professionals who have either decided not to have children or are just not ready for that stage of life. Hopefully we can mix some sophisticated events (wine tastings, art auctions, shows, etc.) with some stuff that's just plain fun (sporting events, happy hours and maybe some charitable events as well). We can make this whatever the group decides. The goal is to build a network of friends who have something in common, share some intelligent conversation and have a good time. Don't get me wrong, we all love our friends and their children. We just want to expand our horizons to people in our same boat.
