Dating
K2 is not a dating website. However, we do plan to run
some speed dating events for those who are keen.
Speed Dating
Our first event was on Wednesday 21st February 2007,
which was a fantastic success. We had 19 men and 19 women
who made a total of 65! 'friendship' matches and 17 'dating'
matches. Click here
for more details.
We ran it ourselves which kept the ticket price down
(just £10) and we hope to run others in South Bristol
and Bath. Thank you to Paul, Annette and Mich for running
it. You did a great job.
We need people to volunteer to run future ones though
so let us know if you are willing to help - it's a very
good way to meet people and get your name known.
"Men - be brave"
The difficulty with speed dating events is that the men
book at the last minute, and consequently events are in
danger of being cancelled! So guys, we ask you "be
brave", and email
us now, to let us know that you want to give this
a go. It'll get the ball rolling for the next event.

2006 speed dating.
Similar events are also run at New
Wine.

Match Me Up! (this is not yet up and running)
We are considering having a 'Match Me Up' section here. This
will be an opportunity for anyone who is game to put their details
here in the hope that someone will set them up with a blind
date.
"Love it or hate it?"
Some people loathe the idea of being set up, but others love
it - the thrill and anticipation of who it could be, and none
of the leg work! I used to enjoy blind dates, but looking back
it was too easy to make quick judgements about people which
were often wrong. You really need to give people a chance if
the relationship is going to work.
"Let's get our married friends working
for us!"
It has been commented that married couples in the church often
want to set people up which can be terrible if you are someone
who hates the whole idea.
However, for those that love it we want to offer the opportunity
to friends and married couples to set up dinner parties and
dates with friends they know - in the certain knowledge that
the person they are doing it for will be pleased about it, rather
than angry and horrified!
If you are game please email
us.
Dating Sites
Here are some UK Christian sites which are recommended. Phil
& Hazel, who head up K2, met via Fusion 101.
Note that you're more likely to have people contact you (and
reply to you) if you add a photo to your profile.
