My advice would be start going to shows regularly at KFN as a starting point and make friends for word of mouth events- it won’t take you long to meet one or two people and it opens up pretty quickly from there.

I am going to assume this is a genuine question so I will take the time to answer you, but I’m muting this because I’ve had too many men try to fight with me online about the experience of being a woman:

Because this is a popular tactic for date rapists. They will buy you drinks or encourage you to drink while they remain sober or relatively sober so they can be more in control of the situation while you become more vulnerable, in order to more easily coerce you into having sex.

Ehhhh if it’s a date at a restaurant or activity sure no prob, but if you are meeting and a bar and don’t mention you don’t drink, I would be highly uncomfortable. Strange man taking me out for drinks but not drinking himself would be HUGE red flags.
