One-ingredient potluck
Everyone brings something made with the same chosen ingredient.
FOUR IS FUN
Double dates for four
Two pairs, one get-together and plenty of room for different conversations.
Make the most of it.
A shared activity takes the pressure off the conversation. Choose something where no one has to perform the whole time and agree beforehand on how to split the costs.
- Choose a game or route that gives you room to swap conversation partners.
- Be considerate of the pair who don't know the others well yet.
- Agree on an end time; you can always extend it.
