Would you enjoy this one?
Many horror events are possible, like Intentionally Awkward Flirting

Truly a reliable way to get interesting people together!

Effects
Others have copied these events, run series of their own, and even found love.
~1500 hours of my events have been experienced.
Other events were inspired in San Francisco (Socratic Society), New York City, Toronto, Oxford, London, and probably elsewhere.
