The week of 14th Feb was arriving, you see the Instagram and people around you turning to shade of Red and sometimes it is just too much for people who are single.
You’ve got no plans for February 14th, and everywhere you look, love and marketing are up in the air. You’re not alone. That’s exactly what prompted me to host an online event for individuals just like you – those without plans on Valentine’s Day, seeking connection and friendship.
So here is what happened yesterday, I am a first-timer in hosting such gatherings, decided on a lineup of activities designed to break the ice and encourage meeting strangers fun online in a safe setting. From “2 Truths and a Lie” to Pictionary and Valentine’s Bingo, I used up my entire day to plan this and it was worth it. However, only 6 attendees turned up.
Now, some might view this as a setback. I did too in the initial few minutes but the small turnout didn’t dampen my spirit or of those who joined. Instead, it was a warm, cozy, intimate setting that allowed for deeper conversations, more laughter, and a genuine connection that in retrospect a larger gathering would have missed to offer.
I am planning to host more such evenings once in a month to just bring people (not just single folks) together after office hours for some games and deep conversations!
