Quiz Night – Dating Night
I recently went on a single’s quiz night. It was such a good way to meet other singles. There were 8 teams with 4 people on each: 2 women, 2 men. And at the end of each round, while the scores were totted up, you got time to chat with the other people on the team, before the fellas were moved on to the next team. So all the men got introduced to all the women, but without much in the way of pressure – unless you’re ultra competitive at quizzes of course!
An interesting upside for me was that the men were shifted around together, so I got to know a fellow fella which turned into a bit of a double act.
Much better than speed-dating though. If you don’t want to make conversation with someone, then you don’t really have to, there’s always someone else to chat to. And much better than parties, because we all know how painfully awkward it can be going up to strangers without appearing sleazy, or saying really cheezy one-liners.
Anything come of it? Maybe…. 
Meeting new Christians
Does the idea of church-surfing, speed-dating, ceroc or dating online fill you with dread? Are you an out-doorsy type? Well, the thing you’ve been looking for is the Christian Rambling Club! It’s a national organisation with groups all over the country.
The national group itself organises pretty impressive walks and even weekend and week-long rambles. If you’re not Ranulph Fiennes, don’t worry, they organise walks for all capabilities.
This is how their website describes what they do:
The Christian Rambling Club (CRC) arranges walks of various grades for Christians throughout the country.
This is an excellent way of meeting other Christian walkers, seeing other parts of the country, making new friends, and having Christian fellowship. Each event includes worship together either at a local church or informally.
If you’re looking for something that might be a little closer to home, then try one of their local groups. They’ve currently got groups in the following places:
Bristol, Derbyshire, Dorset, East Anglia, Hampshire, London, North East, North West, North Midlands, Reading, Shropshire, South East (mainly Kent & Sussex), South Midlands, South Wales, Surrey, West Midlands, Wiltshire and Yorkshire.
Happy walking.
