Helpful Friends of SW Ohio: Herpes Social and Support Group

West Chester, OH

Helpful Friends of SW Ohio: Herpes Social and Support Group
Helpful Friends Network of SW Ohio – Support and Social Events for the Herpes HSV-1 and -2 Community What we're about: Helpful Friends Network is a PRIVATE member-run social group for adults in Southwest Ohio (the Cincinnati and Dayton areas) and northern Kentucky. Our organization is for adults 30 and over who have been diagnosed with Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and/or 2 (HSV-1, HSV-2). We are also open to their partners. We serve those who may be interested in meeting, sharing their experiences and socializing with others without fear or stigma. It's good to share social encounters with those who face the same uncertainties and challenges of living and/or dating that you do. Our community strives to not only be a social network for our members but also a group that promotes support and education rather than ignorance and shame. Helpful Friends Network is a Members-Only community. Therefore, information posted on our site will only be accessible to other members of this Meetup group. We welcome everyone 30 and above who is interested in making new friends, sharing fun monthly activities together, and meeting and interacting with others who share our surprisingly common situation. While our group description is viewable to non-members, only people who carry genital herpes (HSV-1, HSV-2) viruses or their partners may join. Since this population of those with the virus includes 1 in 6 adult Americans, you know that you are not alone. Isn't it better to know that, even if you are non-symptomatic now, you are among people who share your concerns? Only approved members can view info about our monthly group “Talk-It-Over” discussions and fun social events and other content. As you are well aware, herpes does not discriminate and neither do we. We welcome people from 30 to 100, all ethnicities, all professions, religions, political affiliations and outside interests. Whether you come as a single or a couple, are introverted or outgoing, we are here for you. We're a diverse and wonderful mix of people and we strive to make the most of it! Those who are new to this situation are especially welcome to the group. We make special efforts to introduce you to other friendly members so that you’ll feel right at home. We are also a very discreet group. If you would not like for others to see this or other groups you are part of, you can hide your groups in your Meetup settings. This can be done by clicking on "My Groups" in the middle of your Meetup profile and choosing to hide your groups, making them private. If you share our condition and situation, we urge you to join us! You are not alone!

Just Between Friends (NOT ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS)

Hamilton, OH

Just Between Friends (NOT ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS)
There are lots of Meetup groups out there focused on developing new friendships between strangers, but, what happens when strangers meet, become friends, and want to simply focus on building and growing their own blossoming friendships? That is what this group is all about - the chance to get to know one another better, the comfort of meetups with people you've hung out with before, the advantage of knowing what to expect from each other, and the opportunity to explore and adventure with people with whom you know you're going to have fun. We want to keep our group and many of our meetups on the smaller side, as we feel it is the best way to get to know people. Our group will grow as our friendships do. We want active members whom we know or who are recommended by other members and who will help build a community of kindness, respect, and fun. We will continue to do the sorts of activities we were doing together in the groups in which we first met. These include enriching our knowledge of the wonderful area in which we live through tours and lectures; bettering our health through walking in 5Ks and going on hikes; challenging ourselves with trivia; exploring the arts by attending concerts, plays, and visiting museums; working on our co-operative skills through murder mystery dinners and escape rooms; gaining new perspectives via a monthly book club; sharpening our skills at or learning new crafts; and, of course, enhancing our friendships through various social activities such as movie nights, comedy clubs, karaoke, brunches, and dinners. We are always open to new ideas, as well.

Cingles.Net: a Social Network for Cincy-area Singles Over 45

West Chester, OH

Cingles.Net: a Social Network for Cincy-area Singles Over 45
**Welcome to Greater Cincinnati's largest singles organization** where Cincinnati-area singles over 45 can meet, network, socialize with and get to know other single professionals just like you! Come to the CINgles.Net Meetup and develop new friends...and maybe more! We generally host social events around Cincinnati and the surrounding areas, mainly for singles from 45 through 75. If you fall just outside that range, don't worry, we don't check IDs at the door. These events include cocktail parties, dinner parties, dinner dances, wine tastings, theme parties and dances, after-work gatherings, charity events, festivals and other low-key but fun social get-togethers. Attendance varies widely by event, from anywhere around 20 singles to over 100 singles. It is a great way to meet and get connected! When an event is planned you will get a notification. Please choose "Yes" if you would like to attend. There is no need to choose "No" if you don't wish to attend. The "No" designation is for those who previously said "Yes" but now need to notify us that they have changed their plans. Please read our "[Crew Rules](https://goo.gl/Cd4sj5)" This is a group for anyone looking for good times, new adventures, and meeting new people. If you would like to be a host just let us know via message or when you join in your answers. Everyone was a new member once so don't let that hold you back! [https://www.meetup.com/Cingles.Net-Social-Network-for-Cincinnati-Singles-Over-45/](https://www.meetup.com/Cingles-Net-Social-Network-for-Cincinnati-Singles-Over-40/) **MEMBERS**: If a stranger messages you, please let an organizer know; we will do everything we can to stop unwanted messages. We will ban them. It is creepy (and probably a scam or player) if someone messages a member they have not met (other than hosts on an event you are going to or interested in). Don't send instant messages through Meetup to folks you haven't met. Propositions to meet outside of Meetup events to a virtual stranger are creepy. Of course, a relevant message to an event host regarding an upcoming meetup is different. Thank you for your consideration. Players, there are plenty of other sites if you just want to hook up one on one, don't make folks feel unsafe here. If you have done a meetup with someone and want to send them a good-to-see/meet-you follow-up that is totally different, but if they do not reply or aren't interested don't be a "Meetup creep". Of course, it's great if folks "meetup" and some magic develops. So please remember while it is fun to "meetup", this group is not "hookup.com" or "match.com". Not everyone here is single or seeking a romance. Remember if you receive an unsolicited message or suspicious or inappropriate behavior, please report it to Senny, as it can be grounds for immediate dismissal of violating party. They probably are spamming others here and in other groups. We will ban them.
