Social Dating Site Meetcha.com Debuts in Rhode Island; Invites Singles Across the State to Get Out and Join the Fun

CHARLESTOWN, Mass., July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Meetcha.com, a new social dating site, is bringing big fun to single adults in Little Rhody and is kicking off its first series of PODS - People Out Doing Stuff™ this weekend. Meetcha dating equals more fun and less pressure by combining one-on-one online matching with groups of people with shared interests getting together at great places. To get the good times rolling in Rhode Island, Meetcha is inviting singles from across the state to go fly a kite this Saturday, July 10th, at the Newport Kite Festival and to stop by the Meetcha booth to meet the founder (Jeff Taylor, who is founder and former CEO of monster.com), to have some fun and maybe even discover a few surprises. The event is free, open to the public, and no registration is required.

Following this Saturday's high-flying fun, Meetcha will be organizing two more PODS in Rhode Island during July. On Saturday, July 17th, at 7:00pm there will be a dinner for eight to ten people at Hemenway's in Providence. This is a great spot for watching WaterFire. The following week, on Saturday, July 24th, at 7:00pm there will be a dinner for eight to twelve people at Waterman Grille in Providence. Anyone interested in joining should RSVP on Meetcha.com.

According to Jeff Taylor, Meetcha's founder and chief executive officer, single life has changed. "Singles are no longer singled out as nearly 50 percent of people over 35 are not married," says  Taylor, "This is a wonderful group of people full of life, excitement and fun who want to continue meeting others who share their interests. We created Meetcha as a new way to for these folks to get out there and put even more pizzazz in their lives. I hope everyone shares our excitement and joins us on Saturday to meet new people and have some fun."
