This is NOT a group for Gay Black Men. It's a group for brothers that love to meet, hang out with, date, have fun and establish friendships with sisters in the DC area. Frankly I'm tired of hearing sisters say, "where are all the good black men". Well sisters, "there here in this group and they want to meet you." Women are welcomed to join but when you join make sure you encourage a male friend to join. Remember, it's all about the brothers

This group was created for the 20s-30s Northern Va woman who is new in town(or has been here for awhile) and wants to make new friends. While there are some great groups out there, I've noticed that they either grew quite large and the meetups filled up quickly or some of the meetups were occurring less and less. This group enjoys happy hours, brunches, dinners, movies, outdoor activities, trips, etc. We have a calendar full of upcoming events, so find one that interests you and join in :) Thank …

This meetup is geared toward local women (sorry guys, this one's not for you!) looking to find friends and enjoy good times together.  Hopefully people will attend events.

Some of the past meetups we've done are brunch, dinner, coffee/drinks, movies, plays, tarot card readings :), Top Golf... our upcoming meetups have somethi …

We look for a great mix of men and women in their 20s & 30s - single, married, couples, just friends, it doesn't matter - th …

Trivia, karaoke, dinner, movies, and happy hour are standards - but let's expand our circle, too, to include some of the local fes …

The Arlington/DC Work-At-Home Meetup Group is pretty simple - it's open to any individuals who live in the DC/NoVA area and work from home.

This is a group for anyone who wants to explore the restaurants that Alexandria has to offer. I started this group to meet new people and socialize while enjoying good food and wine.

About 3 days before the event, I'll send out a reminder for everyone to update their RSVPs and more spots become available. Also, meetups that are posted more than 2 weeks out will be waiting list only. I'll manually o …
