Why was the Savvy Singles group formed?
Let’s answer this question with a question… “Do you agree that meeting other like-minded singles in Rochester, Minnesota is virtually impossible?”
Problem Solved! The Savvy Singles was formed in February 2006 to allow Professional Single/Available men and women to feel comfortable socializing with others in laid back, non-threatening environments. We choose convenient locations in the downtown area to encourage people to swing in for a bite to eat, drinks, and /or fantastic entertainment after work.
How big is the Savvy Singles group?
Since February 2006 over 450 single men and women have requested to be added to our contact list.
What kind of people attend Savvy Singles events?
All types of people attend Savvy Singles events. Primarily, our participants are professional men and women who are proactive in their social lives but do not have the time or avenues they once had to meet interesting people. They're looking for these opportunities. The Savvy Singles makes this easy to do by maximizing their window for fun while meeting new friends and/or potential "love interests". Our participants are bright, attractive,successful, active, down-to-earth individuals looking to meet similar people for friendship, fun and/or long-term relationships.
It's a terrific way to make friends without the conscience pressure of dating. So if you are a little shy or just out of practice at being single, that’s not a problem. Simply come and check out our "ice breaker" happy hours and enjoy yourself at our friendly, non-intimidating venues. Besides, where else in Rochester can you meet dozens of like-minded single available men and women in one location?
What is the average age range of Savvy Singles?
28-48 years old is the primary age range, although all ages of Single Available Professional men & women are welcome.
What activities do the Savvy Singles do?
Currently we host monthly social hours but are in the process of organizing other events and activities for Single Available Professionals in the Rochester, Minnesota area. For example, wine tasting, organized bike trail outings (in Lanesboro), pool parties/Barbecues, singles golf games, group outings to sporting events, concerts, plays, kayaking lessons/adventures, progressive dinners, Honker’s Games, camping, boating excursions etc.
When do the Savvy Singles meet?
Our happy hours are held once per month typically during the first week. (either Wednesday or Thursday) from 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Why not on Friday or Saturday evenings?
Stay tuned for future announcements.
Why do people choose to come?
Maybe they just arrived in town, possibly just gotten out of a relationship, or they're bored with what they've been doing and ready to step out of their comfort zone into something new. Many of our singles are realizing that the majority of their friends are married or dating someone seriously. Participating in Savvy Singles get-togethers provides them the perfect opportunity to expand their network of friends while maintaining an active social calendar.
Do people come by themselves?
Almost EVERYONE comes by themselves, usually because the majority of their friends are married, live in different parts of the country, or don't always have the same interests they have. But Savvy Singles participants never have to worry about being the only "new person" at an activity because Savvy Singles attracts an average of 80-100 singles each month.
Do members date other members?
Several couples have already met through the group and are now dating. Some may become friends for a lifetime and others may enter long term commitments. Some get together for two and three person bike trips or kayaking adventures and many of the members start up their own network of friends. It's a natural way to enjoy single life or to find someone special just for you.
