Dudes are presented with a nut at the door, ladies a bolt. (The idea being that for every nut there is a matching bolt. Or, you know, if you don't like his nuts, ladies, better bolt.) Mix, mingle, and try to find yourself a perfect fit. Aside from tool-toting singles, this party also has small bites and cocktails to keep you fortified and lubricated as you search for Mr. or Ms. Right, including "Love Potion No. 9" (one drink included with ticket price) more

Well, you know what they say, you gotta kiss a lot frogs before.... you get laid. Or get warts. Or something like that. What we're saying is, there's someone out there for you, so don't despair. Jump into the dating pool [pond] with other singles at this mixer with cocktails, tapas, live music, a DJ, "special guest appearances," and speed dating sponsored by Ideal Mixer. Oh, also there will be a "celebrity"(bahaha) appearance by 'Giant Tool' from VH1's Tool Academy Season 2. So no matter how toad-like you are, you still won't be the douchiest guy in the room. more

Mixer
at which you pick your colored beads (Red = Taken | Yellow = Maybe. .
.| Green = Single) and then mix and mingle with like-beaded partiers.
Sort of like Red Light, Green Light...with Mardi Gras beads....and a
hint of sexual desperation. Just kidding, we're actually intrigued by
the concept. Imagine if people's relationship statuses and preferences were
displayed so explicitly in the real world? Oh the
confusion/rejection/embarassment we'd all be spared. This party has
music, dancing, and raffles for the chance to win some swanky prizes. more

6. "Ski Dating" | Mount Snow [sponsored by the BSSC]
Love is a slippery devil. Why not try slipping and sliding down the slopes at Mount Snow as a way to meet someone? Sponsored by the Boston Ski & Sports Club, this all-day, singles trip is like extended speed dating . . . downhill. The all-day, out-of-town event includes skiing and/or snowboarding, games, and an apre ski party. Not recommended for first-time skiers (watching someone pizza pie their way down the bunny slope while shrieking in fear is not exactly a panty dropper) or those who ski in jeans (if you don't know why that's a turn-off, we can't help you.) And hey, if you get iced by a prospective date, you can always attribute that chill to the weather. more
