Twilighting @ Central Station, King's Cross

16/8/2019

 
Hello Guys!

Following our successful meet-up at Central Station, I thought it would be a good idea to meet again at the same venue and hopefully more people will be able to attend this time. There will be some tables reserved with the Meetup sign on them.

This is simply a post-work drinks and food gathering, a chance for us to get together and meet one another, relax, have a laugh and make some new friends and acquaintances along the way.

​Central Station has evolved into a bar, restaurant, boutique bed and breakfast establishment, and exciting nightspot in the regenerated bustling King’s Cross. Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, independent bar Central Station has evolved into a gay bar, restaurant, boutique bed and breakfast establishment, and exciting nightspot in the regenerated bustling King’s Cross - just three tube stops from Oxford Circus. The venue is celebrating 25 years of growth and adaptation, welcoming visitors from all over the world as well as regular local customers.

At 9:30 pm, I'll be making my way across to Scala for some salsa - feel free to join me. Bring your dancing shoes! (entrance is £12 cash to the salsa event).

To keep things light and simple, numbers are limited to 10 places so do register early to avoid disappointment!

DETAILS

This group is for friendship and dating, designed to reach out to others and create mutual support. The concept is simple: helping each other get out there in the world. Some meet-ups will be limited to 10 places so it’s not too overwhelming for new members. Simplicity is key — by thorough advance checking of details, e.g., seating, cloakroom, dress code etc., we can properly manage expectations and minimise the risk of potential pitfalls so do feel free to get in touch if you wish to ask anything about the venue, event etc.!

Public Transit: 2 minute walk from Kings Cross Station
Dress code: Casual

Stickers will be provided to write names on. Being shy and introverted can mean you’re concentrating so hard on getting the social interaction right, you often forget their name or forget to ask (I’m prone to that)!

I don’t charge fees for attending our meet-ups. All I ask is that a one-off discretionary donation is made for your first time. This is to help cover the cost of running the group. Meetup groups are not free to run and cost £130 over the course of a year. I've put a link below (Paypal) where you give a one-off donation of £5 (or any amount) to help out. The group will always remain free so there is no obligation but it would be greatly appreciated. The link works on both desktops and smartphones.

    Shy Bis & Gay Guys

    Shyness and social anxiety can hold guys back from forming meaningful platonic and romantic relationships. It can be tough enough ‘coming out’, but being introverted can make it even more of a challenge and sometimes you need a gentle push.

    So, whether you consider yourself to be ‘gay’, ‘bi’, ‘bi-curious’, ‘pansexual’ or any other label; whether you are ‘in the closet’, ‘out’ or in the process of ‘coming out’; whether you are vulnerable or feel at risk, this group brings us together. We embrace those who have experienced depression, anxiety, loneliness or isolation, especially if you may be considered on the spectrums of ADHD, Autism & Asperger’s, Bipolar, OCD and/or Schizophrenia.

    You may be a highly sensitive person who experiences intense highs and lows to an extreme degree. You may be an artistic Creative with a vivid inner world hidden and locked away. You may feel easily overwhelmed by large groups of people, unsettled by the turbulence of the LGBT dating scene or sidelined/neglected in a whirlwind of rapidly spinning social circles. Anxiety may have even prevented you from moving forwards in friendships and relationships with other people because you are afraid of either hurting or getting hurt. This Meetup group is designed for you!

    Have you ever taken years to build up the confidence to go to an event only to be disappointed? Want to attend an LGBT event but held back by your shyness? Simply come as you are. There is no need to pretend anymore. This is a get together for people who do not want to be on their own, to feel comfortable and foster a nice, friendly circle of people. And if you would like to come but do not feel like talking much, then that is cool, too! Take it at your own pace.

    Queer Lifestyle

    Queer Lifestyle is about more than simply accepting and embracing different gender identities and sexual preferences. It transcends those bubbles. In the sense that people can learn to love and accept themselves, even if they did feel "different", in any way, shape or form. This group encourages people to cultivate self-love through their life experiences and activities.
