 nt\n\n💘 The Vibe\nA Saturday designed for singles who enjoy playful banter
 \, scenic wandering\, and a little urban mischief. This is a slow‑dating a
 dventure: gentle flirtation\, organic café warmth\, creekside charm\, and 
 a High‑Street bar hop that feels like a choose‑your‑own‑romantic‑subplot.\
 n\nBe aware that these walks incorporate a fair bit of randomness and sere
 ndipitous energy.\n\nPlease note: This event is waitlisted.\nI want a bala
 nced gender mix\, i.e even numbers of girls and guys. I have a creep code 
 operating and event expectations around no shows\, read on for how that wo
 rks.\n\nSingles only.\nCouples allowed only if they’re brand‑new (the “we’
 re still pretending to be chill” stage).\nMarried folks: this one isn’t yo
 ur chapter.\n\n🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ The Route (A Flirt‑Trail in Three Acts)\n\nAct I —
  The Convent Spark\nWe gather at the Abbotsford Convent\, where the archit
 ecture is dramatic and the pre‑walk mingling is deliciously awkward in all
  the right ways.\n\nCome early e.g 12.30 to grab a coffee and snack\n\nThe
 n we slip onto the Merri Creek Trail\, following its leafy curves — the ki
 nd of path that naturally encourages side‑by‑side conversation and gentle 
 curiosity.\n\nAct II — CERES: Organic Chemistry (Literally)\nWe arrive at 
 CERES Community Farm\, a pocket of earthy charm and wholesome vibes.\nBrea
 k at the CERES Organic Café for warm food\, warm hands\, and warmer conver
 sations.\nThis is the midpoint where people relax\, open up\, and start de
 ciding who they want to walk next to for the second half.\n\nPeople can al
 so join us at Ceres cafe if they want to skip the Merri creek walk and the
 n do the Northcote high street bar hop. please let the organiser know befo
 re hand.\n\nAct III — Northcote High‑Street Frolic\nFrom CERES\, we wander
  into Northcote\, where the vibe shifts from earthy to artsy.\nA playful H
 igh‑Street bar hop + boutique exploration begins:\nA cosy wine bar for sof
 t‑spoken flirtation\nA craft‑beer spot for louder laughter\nA few quirky s
 hops for spontaneous “try this on” moments\nA record store where someone i
 nevitably mentions their favourite band\n\nWe finish by strolling back to 
 Rushall Station\, winding down the day with the mellow\, satisfied energy 
 that only comes from shared adventure.\n\n🧣 What to Bring\nComfortable wal
 king shoes\nSnacks + water\nWinter layers\nA playful\, open attitude\nCuri
 osity for strangers who might not stay strangers\n\n⚠️ Group Rules & Event
  Etiquette ⚠️\nThese are basic\, commonsense standards that keep events sa
 fe\, smooth\, and enjoyable for everyone.\n\n💘 Flirtation Guidelines\nThis
  is a social event\, not a pressure cooker.Don’t be pushy about phone numb
 ers — let the moment offer itself\nDon't send unsolicited messages\, get i
 n person permission first\nIf the vibe is mutual\, go for it\nBecome a reg
 ular — I’ll be testing this format over 3–4 events\nYou’ll likely see the 
 same lovely humans again at future singles nights/events or Eat Drink Danc
 e “open” events\n\nThe goal is to build a small\, recurring ecosystem wher
 e people feel comfortable\, familiar\, and relaxed enough to be themselves
 .\n\n👟 Fitness Requirements\nWalking: 3–4 km/hr. Moderate fitness. enough 
 to walk 15 km with limited stops\n\nWe walk at a relaxed pace. Please ensu
 re you meet the fitness level for the event. If the group is forced to wai
 t excessively\, you may be asked to leave the event.\n\n⛹️ Pace: Too Fast 
 or Too Slow\nSmall social events rely on staying together. If you prefer a
  very different pace\, consider going solo\, joining a faster/slower group
 \, or choosing events that match your fitness.\n\n👩‍💼 Time Constraints\nIf
  you’re on a tight schedule\, this may not be the right event. Social acti
 vities rarely run exactly on time.\n\n👥Waitlist & Gender Ratios\nTo keep t
 hings balanced and comfortable:\nEvent capped at 12 people to test interes
 t\, if my star signs are in favour I may increase this to 20\n\nGenerally 
 guys admitted only after a woman registers (to maintain ratios) at my disc
 retion.\n\nFemale Privilege: New Idea\nThere is usually a waitlist of men.
  The first female that discretely messages the organiser gets first dibs o
 n any guy that is on the waitlist to have him included. Assuming this occu
 rs within 12 hours of being put into the going list. Otherwise the organis
 er chooses.\n\nWomen can be a little flaky (we love them anyway)\, so I ma
 y accept 1–2 extra\n\n🧭The Creep Code\nA refined social compass keeps the 
 vibe safe\, fun\, and drama‑free.\nSo: No married/Seperated individuals or
  those already coupled up (generally)\nNo Tinder Swindler‑style minglers\n
 \nGuys: Please Take Special Note\nMust have a clear face photo (no sunglas
 ses\, no blurry shadows\, no “mysterious man in witness protection”)\nDon'
 t send unsolicited messages\, that's creep gold..\n\n⚠️Don't obscure your 
 identity in other words.\n\nNo wide shots taken from a distance where you 
 can't be identified.\nNo yacht/car/jet flexing — if your profile screams “
 crypto‑adjacent”\, you will be gently declined.\nIf you are declined\, upd
 ate your profile photo to something less creepy and more classy\n\nGirls: 
 No restrictions — privacy and safety first”\n\n⚠️ CRITICAL EXPECTATIONS ⚠️
 \n\n👻 No‑Shows\nNo‑shows block waitlisted people from attending and disrup
 t small-group events.\n\nRemove yourself at least 24 hours before the even
 t\, cancellations within 24 hour of the evevt when there is a waitlist wil
 l result in group removal\n\nPeople on the waitlist need more than 24 hour
 s notice that they have been approved to attend.. Flaking within this time
  period prevents waitlist people from attending\n\nNo‑shows will be remove
 d from the group.\nLast‑minute cancellations (“flaking”) may also result i
 n group removal\, especially when there is a waitlist.\n\n👀 Attending With
 out Being on the Going List\nThis is a security issue.\nDo NOT turn up una
 nnounced.\nIf you’re not on the Going list and haven’t arranged it with th
 e organiser beforehand\, you will be asked to leave. Event check‑ins are p
 erformed.\n\n⏰ Late Arrivals\nIf you’re late\, the group will not wait.\n\
 nYou willl be marked as a No‑Show and removed from the group.\n\nMessages 
 will not be monitored after the event starts\nIt’s your responsibility to 
 communicate and catch up before the evevt starts—this may not be possible 
 for some events.\n\n🎲 Second Chances\nIf something goes wrong\, communicat
 e with the organiser. Silence + poor behaviour = removal. Communication + 
 accountability = second chances. As the organiser is busy organising this 
 may be impossible during the event.\n\n🚩Disclaimer: No Liability & Organis
 er Indemnity\nBy participating in this event\, you acknowledge and accept 
 full personal responsibility for your own safety\, wellbeing\, and belongi
 ngs. The organiser assumes no liability for injury\, loss\, or damage incu
 rred during the activity. Participation is entirely at your own risk.
