Strangers try something scary for the first time

The Say Yes Social is a small group in Dallas who say yes to a first together. Come solo. Nobody knows what they're doing, and that's the fun part.

About the club

A first, together

The Say Yes Social is a small group in Dallas who try something scary for the first time, together. Come solo and come nervous. You'll leave knowing a few more people.

Come solo

Each outing is a first for most of us, and doing it together is how we get to know each other. The activity is the product. Coffee after is optional.

Show up and say yes

Arrive a little nervous. We learn it and try it as a group. Stick around after if you like.

Filming note: Being on camera is part of joining. When you register, you'll agree to the photo and video release. The venue may ask you to sign its own waiver too.

Questions

Before you say yes

A few things people ask before the first outing. If yours isn't here, email Emel.

Email Emel
Do I need experience?

No. That's the point. Most of us have never tried the activity before.

Can I come alone?

Coming solo is highly encouraged. The point is meeting new people.

Can I bring a friend or partner?

Coming with one other person is OK. Groups larger than two are not.

Is filming required?

Yes. Every outing is filmed for Adventures with Emel, so being on camera is part of joining. When you register, you'll agree to the photo and video release.

What if I want a clip removed?

You can ask to have a clip removed. Emel will do her best, but removal is not guaranteed.

What does my reservation include?

Your reservation includes the activity session. Spots are kept small so everyone gets a turn. Coffee after is optional. The activity is the product.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. Each Luma page will note anything specific for that outing.
