Finding Mr. Right at Mr. Smith’s via Thread
April 1, 2010 at 7:00 am | Posted in Matchmaking, News, Thread Updates | Leave a commentTags: Thread events
Emboldened by the success of our first two parties (and because we like free drinks as much as you do) we’re throwing down again. We’re inviting our favorite Bay Area Thread.com users and encouraging them to bring their friends to our next mixer at Mr. Smiths on April 13.
Thread.com's first matchmakers and singles mixer at Mr. Smith's.
No theme, holiday, or cause — just an excuse to get a bunch of matchmakers, singles, and interesting people together to make matches. To sweeten the deal, the first 150 people through the door get a free drink, and it’s half price drinks all night long.
After the event, log back onto Thread.com to tell us who you thought was cute, and we’ll tell you if they liked you back. If you didn’t like someone, we promise not to tell…
More than 300 people attended our first mixer, and Thread.com recorded it’s 2nd highest day of Shuffle use. I saw a few matches happen that night, and we heard stories of friends finding dates on Thread.com after the event.
RSVP early to get on the guest list because we’re closing the invite list when we reach capacity. We know — so much pressure! But if you can’t make it this time, we understand. We plan on throwing more of these events, so make sure you become our fan on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to stay in the loop and attend our next party.
Do you blog here often?

How to put yourself “out there” in the new year

Online dating coach Laurie Davis offers tips for putting yourself "out there" in the new year.
With the New Year just a few days away, ’tis the season for lofty goals and resolutions.
But before you set yourself up with unrealistic expectations for overhauling your love life or finding “the one,” try perfecting the basics of meeting people.
Laurie Davis, an online dating coach fluent in the language of digital flirting, recommends taking proactive steps to meeting someone new rather than sitting back and waiting for the right person to fall in your lap. And that starts with putting down the remote and putting yourself “out there.”
Davis suggests updating your online dating profile and keeping it fresh and active to stay at the top of the search results. And if you’re constantly on the go, take your profile with you by using mobile dating apps such as Skout, and attend as many singles events as your schedule and wallet will allow.
But our favorite suggestion of hers is to leverage your social network to meet new people:
Social Networking. Make sure that you are connected on FaceBook, LinkedIn, Twitter and the like. You can use these sites to contact new matches and gain the interest of your friends’ single pals. Thread even helps the process along!
This year resolve to recruit your friends to join Thread.com and ask them to introduce you to their single Facebook friends.
