Step 3: Meeting

BLIND DATES ARE AWKWARD!!!!!

We would never put you through something like that. That's why, if we find a match...we will set up a group event. 
Even better...you won't know who you are being set up with. We will just put both of you in the same place, and allow things to happen naturally.

Examples of dates:
Karaoke on Tuesday at Dorrians
Dancing to a live band at Red Lion

Step 1: Figure out if you are preppy


How do you know if you are preppy and if this site is right for you...
Preppy by definition:


Noun (Prep): Comes from identifiying one who goes to a prepratory or "prep" school (typically on the East Coast), or a school with the intent of preparing its students for college (often Ivy League).
Has come to be an label for those who conform to typical teenage behavior, in areas like clothing, school behavior, and sports participation, because preps usually are more ambitious and/or image-conscious than others.
Popular belief is that preps hate nerds/goths/punks/etc, however, generally, preps pay little attention to other "types," and those who hate preps with the most passion are those who were once preps and have recently gone away from their previous behavior, and often people who are posers intent on protecting their alternative-ness.
Prep has become to be nearly synonymous with conformist, to the point where most preps have been in denial of their typecast, and it is seen as an insult in the eyes of many.
Preppy is the adjective form, Preppily is the adverb.A real prep is a person, male or female who is normally a White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant, or WASP. Preps can be any religion, however. A prep is rich because of old money inherited and passed down to other generations. Preps live in Colonial style houses in New England. Preps shop at places like IZOD, Lacoste, Ralph Lauren, Orvis, Lily Pulitzer and other boutiques. Preppy people wear pastels, polo shirts, khakis, sweaters, sun dresses, birkenstocks, TEVAs, Docksiders, belts and ribbons. Materials of choice are wool, cotton, corduroy, silk and occasionally denim.Preps play tennis, golf, squash, raquet ball and field hockey. You will see a prep driving a stereotypical car like a BMW, a flashy Mercedes, a classy Jaguar, a boxy Volvo or any convertible (Volkswagen Beetle convertible) or SUV (Isuzu Trooper). A true prep is not spoiled and gets all good things in moderation. Preps belong to country clubs (inland) or yacht clubs for those lucky enough to live on the coast or near a large body of water. Preps go to Beer Blasts and can be stuffy. Contrary to popular beliefs, true preps do not make fun of punks, goths or any other group. Preps are not brought up mean, and do not have time to make fun of people.

How did this start

While frequenting Dorrians Red Hand on the Upper East Side I thought of the idea. I overheard so many people saying "I wish I could just meet a cool, preppy girl/guy in the city."

I've always had a pretty good judgement of character and thought that maybe I could help the lonely prepsters out. 

I started experimenting with some of my friends. 
Two couples I set up are now engaged, and I have many other friends that are in happy relationships.

I decided to start this site and sort of see what happens. I will create "preppy single mixers" as well as tips on dating (that aren't cliche or blah.)

This is not a dating site.
This is not like Jdate.com (because that's for Jewish people only).
This is a place to meet other preppy single people, and maybe a place to find your new favorite tennis partner.
