This event is a little unusual, but will be fun and rewarding for any who participate.
Andrew is a member of the neighborhood potluck group. He has attended many events. Many of you have already met him. Andrew teaches math and computer science at local colleges and universities. He has a PhD in Mathematics. He is also a talented artist. (The banner image shows a couple of pieces of his artwork.)
What you may not know is that Andrew is on the spectrum. (He is autistic.) This causes some social anxiety.
Andrew was born in Wisconsin. His family is from Taiwan. He would like to travel back home to visit his parents and family there during the Holiday break, but before he does that, he wants to go on a date.
We are planning a group activity, limited to 8 people. If you are part of a couple and would like to attend, we'd love to have you join us! If you are a single person who would like to attend the dinner as a friend, we would love to have you join us. If you are a single woman who would like to attend as Andrew's date, then we would love to have you join us. Yes, this might mean you are going on a "blind date" with Andrew. But it will be part of a group activity.
To be clear: This is one date. There is no expectation that the person who is Andrew's date will see him again, or even exchange contact information. Andrew is being courageous in trying to put himself out there into social situations.
How old is Andrew? 37
Who does Andrew want to be his date? A woman between the ages of 18 and 100.
If you RSVP for this event, please tell us in the note field if you want to attend as a couple, as a single friend, or as Andrew's date.
