I first attended Maggie’s single meet up events because I heard the gatherings were a fun, lively and safe way to meet singles in the Santa Fe area. Emphasizing friendships first, takes the pressure off participants and having attended multiple events, I am pleased to share that I have made several nice friends, both male and female, with whom I have conversations over coffee, laughs during meals out and other shared activities. I highly recommend attending Maggie’s events.

It’s challenging being single and meeting new people. I’m a discouraged veteran of dating apps. I wanted to meet singles in Santa Fe and connect in person and Maggie’s single group was the answer to a growing loneliness. It’s a “friends first” foundation, alleviating the pressure of “dating”. Her group focuses on “connections” and the  possibilities are inherent with new found friendships. Sign up now, best decision you’ll make.

Chris and Heather

Both looking for local connections. Chris signed up and was waitlisted, while Heather was drawn to Maggie’s events for both community and the possibility of meeting a partner. They first met at a Local Singles meetup during a “get to know you” bingo game and reconnected a week later at a Valentine’s event.

Six months later, they’re living together just outside Santa Fe with their three Boston terriers, all sparked by Maggie’s Local Singles events.

I joined Local Singles because I’d heard it was a great place to meet singles who were genuinely available, people who were getting out, open to meeting others, and actually interested in dating. 

My experience has been really fun. I’ve met new friends and even a few people I’ve enjoyed going out with. 

Linda

I came in wanting to make friends and build connections and I've made lots of friends and acquaintances, both men and women where you get together as a group. There’s always so much to do, and you end up knowing so many people.
Overall, it's been a really fun experience.

I’ve been attending Local Singles events for two years and have met many people who have gone on to become very good friends. All of the events – dance parties, picnics, small group socials and very large events have been well organized and in locations that were inviting.

Local Singles represents an opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life in person and in stress-free environments that are conducive to having great experiences.

Jennifer

It’s not easy out there being single! I’ve met people who travel from all over the attend Maggie’s single group. She is the “hostess with the most-set” effortlessly gliding between attendees to make sure everyone is comfortable and meeting new people.

 

She hosts events all over Santa Fe. Maggie works relentlessly to organize, promote, and host these get-togethers and I can say (from the perspective of a shy introvert who refuses to use cringy dating apps) that I always look forward to attending Maggie’s events. Based on their inclusive vibe, I have met both men and women who have become cherished inner-circle friends, and even gone on a few dates.

 

Maggie has opened her heart to help others open theirs, and our town is better off because of this vibrant, worthy, warm, kind, generous, and sparkly human.

Kim

After my divorce, I didn’t just lose a marriage, I lost friendships and the community that surrounded it. Those first years were very lonely at times. Joining Maggie’s Singles Group changed that in a way I didn’t expect.

I’ve been part of the group for a little over a year now, and it has genuinely expanded my world. I’ve met wonderful people, made meaningful connections, and slowly rebuilt a social life that feels real and supportive. I was hesitant at first, unsure of where I stood with dating or even how much I wanted to engage. But Maggie’s way of leading the group, centering connection over pressure, helped me relax into the experience.

 

There’s no agenda here, no expectation that you have to “be ready” for anything. You can simply show up as you are. And that alone was a relief.

 

If you’re single and looking for a grounded, welcoming place to meet others, I can’t recommend this group highly enough. It hasn’t just given me connections, it’s given me community again.

Sallie

I’m new to the area, so this has been a great way to meet a wide variety of people. Everyone is interested in different things, which makes it fun to learn more about Santa Fe while also meeting new people both as friends and as potential dates. I’ve tried online dating like Match, Bumble, and similar apps, but I honestly find it much nicer to meet singles in person. There’s less pressure, and it just feels easier. You don’t walk in feeling like you’re on a date, it’s much more casual.
It’s refreshing to meet singles face-to-face rather than online, where conversations can easily be misconstrued. Communicating through texts or emails can be challenging, and you don’t always get a true sense of who someone is. Meeting in person just feels more natural, relaxed, and fun. Maggie’s groups are always amazing.
