It's The Holiday Season....We figured that with everyone and their brother throwing parties this time of year, why should we? Sure, we'd still have our dinners and other activities, but there was really no good reason to have a SingleStuff party, some big event in the middle of so many big events.....but that is what we thought - and apparently YOU ALL thought differently!!That said, we are in the early warning stages of coming up with something - there are rumors of a Champagne tasting, but you know you can't trust rumors....By the way, if you are interested in joining SingleStuff (it is free!), there is a link a little ways down this page that will take you to a signup form - then you'll hear about all of our events!We're Glad You Found Us!!!You know, we are lucky here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area - we seem to be the hub of single's groups and activities. I travel all over the country, and have never seen anywhere that offered the variety of single's groups to join and things to do....that's the good news and the bad news!Because we have so many opportunities, we have so many choices, and that can be tricky. Frankly, one of the purposes of this site is to help you make those choices, from an informed perspective. No group (including ours!!) is right for everyone - we hope the information we provide will help you sort it all out.....We Aren't Just Information....The whole concept for SingleStuff is to (1) provide helpful information and (2) offer some casual opportunities for decent single people to enjoy themselves in a relaxed environment. That environment may be a dinner, a wine tasting, or a party, but the one constant is our effort to focus on everyone having a good time together - "meeting someone" is something that might happen - but if it does, it will not be because you paid one of us to make it happen - it will be because you bumped into someone while you were having fun....Dinners and ActivitiesFeel free to suggest things the group should consider doing - we can always use fresh ideas. Just send your thoughts to us on the comment form...Join The Group!We are glad that you are seeing this on our website, but did you know that our members all receive notices of upcoming events? On down this page a bit you will see a small green box that says "Sign Up" - click that link, complete the questions, and you will be kept up to date on what is going on - heck, it's free, so why not?!Some folks have shown up at events because they saw them on this web page - and while we are glad to see them, it creates two complications.... First, if we don't know you are coming, there may not be enough room for you - and those who have made a reservation are given priority over folks who do not have a reservation. Second, we occasionally have to change the time, date, or location of an event - and if we don't know you are coming, we can't let you know about the change - which could leave you standing somewhere with a very confused look on your face! So, come on, join the gang!

Our Mission |
Quite simply, SingleStuff is here to make it easier - and more fun - to be single! We want to inform you of opportunities, warn you of some hazards, and make it easier to meet others - whether for fun, romance, or companionship. | |||
| A lot of what folks "know" about being single and meeting people is simply not true, and we hope that the information we provide will help you spend less time wondering "why it doesn't work" and more time enjoying your single life! | ||||
|
"Singles" are a lot like "real people"! |
Contrary to what some folks may believe, single people have plenty of interests other than just meeting someone of the opposite gender! Sure, it would be great to meet a wonderful person and fall hopelessly and permanently in love - but in the meantime, we are earning a living, shopping for groceries, and taking up hobbies. | |||
| That's why we will continue to expand the range of information and activities we offer. Meeting someone is something that you do best while having a real life - not something to do instead of having a life! | ||||
What We Do |
We promote dinners (run by volunteers, hence the low cost!) so that singles can meet other quality singles in a comfortable environment. We also offer some happy hours, wine tastings, cooking classes, self defense courses, and other opportunities to mingle with others...while growing as a person! |
|||
| Additionally, we publish articles that help singles understand this entire "single lifestyle". The various singles organizations in the Metroplex offer numerous opportunities... and risks - we help you sort them out |
Check out our articles.... |
|||
| Talk about risks - there are some very profitable singles organizations who are not very happy to have the truth being shared with the public - but you should know about matchmakers, dating services, computer dating and all of the other alternatives out there...after all, it's your time and money that gets wasted if you make the wrong choices..... | ||||
| Besides our regular dinners we will be inviting you to some special interest activities - of course, the only way we can know about what interests are special to you is to hear from you, so drop us a line.... |
"Special Interests" |

Membership Fees & Dues$ Big Money $ |
Let's see, the membership fees are.... uh.... well.... we don't have any. Of course, we do ask you to contribute to support our activities when you attend - those contributions normally run $3 to $5 - yep, we're going to get rich quick with this deal! | |||
| We operate with volunteers, and we ask that you take that into consideration when judging our "customer service". We operate strictly via e-mail so - no one has to staff a telephone all day and we don't buy many stamps! | ||||
Confidentiality |
We do not sell or trade any of the information you provide us. Period. | |||
| We do ask all of our members for addresses and telephone numbers for very practical reasons... People change e-mail addresses, and frequently forget to notify everyone, so we lose touch. We like to update and confirm our e-mail addresses at each event (for those who attend) and occasionally with a postcard if we haven't seen you in a while. You can always cancel our e-mailings simply by requesting to be removed from our list. We also have the occasional need to notify a member of a last minute change in plans, and a phone number can really help... |
Ever wonder why we ask for a phone number if we operate strictly on the web? |

Dating Services, Matchmakers, and On-Line Alternatives |
We did a little research, and made a few observations. Our opinions on some of the available ways for singles to meet people in the DFW Metroplex..... | |||
| We are convinced that there are a lot of really great single people, and meeting them eventually means dating. The key is to be as safe as possible in the process...

Intimacy |
Intimacy is a lot more than just sex - this article takes a look at the "Leave It To Beaver" television family to examine various forms of intimacy. | |||
| You should not make a bunch of compromises or changes in order to "catch a mate", that is dishonest to you and them. On the other hand, if you were to be totally honest, there are some self improvement issues you have been avoiding that would make you happier with yourself - and more attractive to the opposite sex! |

Finding The Perfect Partner, Having It All In Three Easy Steps |
Yeah, right! Have you ever considered that some of the things you are looking for in your "perfect partner" are almost impossible to find in one person - we call them the "incompatibles". Another thought - while you are running around looking for someone who probably does not exist, you are missing your chance to meet someone who does.... | |||
| Is it possible that there are "professional singles" who are great at being single, but don't have what it takes to develop long term healthy relationships? Is it possible that they need a constant supply of "fresh meat", naive singles? Is it possible that some singles groups help make this system function? |
