Date My Single Kid Goes Live!

When FOF introduced a feature on the site in mid-2010, where moms could help “fix up” their single kids, we never dreamed the publicity floodgates would open. Colby and I were on The Today Show, The View, CNN, The Gayle King Show, and more.  We also were interviewed remotely for Canadian and Australian TV, German radio and an Italian magazine. The premise of the feature, called Datemysinglekid.com, was resonating with moms all over the place. FOFs are always trying to set up their single kids behind the scenes, offline.  Why not work their magic online, too?


 

We haven’t intensively promoted the DMSK feature on the site, but FOFs are adding new “kids” every week. And we still get phone calls from the media. Now we’re planning our first Date My Single ‘Kid’ Live! event, along with Michelle Slonim, creator of the successful Date My Jewish Friend parties in New York. (You don’t have to be Jewish, though, to come to DMSK Live!) All moms are invited to take their adult ‘kids’ to this mix and mingle.  No mom can enter without a kid, and vice-versa.

“This is a rare opportunity for moms and their kids to do the matchmaking thing together,” Michelle says. ‘It’s like speeding dating plus speed family meeting.

The event details:

Monday, February 27, 2012

Hospoda

321 East 73 Street

6:o0pm check in – 6:30 pm start-time

A pair of tickets–for FOFs and their “kids”–is $100.  A complimentary glass of wine for each of you is included.

Call me at 917-846-9359 to reserve tickets for you and your single “kid” or email me at geri@faboverfifty.com

P.S. If you don’t live in New York, but know FOFs in NY who want to set up their single “kids,” please tell them about our get together.
