Forget clicking through online profiles or throwing yourself into the fast lane of speed dating, the latest craze to hit the singles scene takes a tasty twist on courtship.
While you may be hoping for a George Clooney look-a-like circa 25-years-old, expect a wide range of people – with varied tastes – to attend. Keeping an open mind while eating delicious food and meeting new people is the point; a romantic connection is an added bonus. Paul Price, a 50-year-old single account manager in Toronto agrees: “It was great to meet a group of single women,” he says, “but there's no pressure, no expectations and if you meet someone that's not for you, then you can just keep mingling and have fun.”
And remember, go to the singles event single, not with your best gal pal. A wing-man is not putting your best available foot forward. "We want people not to feel pressure of going to a singles event," explains Summerhill, "but rather look at it as a social gathering, where great food, good wine and new friendships are bound to flourish."
