“GET SCREWED” in the Distillery

 

Toronto Dating Experts take on a new approach to Singles Events

 

Toronto, ON-July 29, 2012. Shannon Tebb, also known as Shanny in the City is a Toronto Dating Expert that holds monthly singles events in the Toronto area with partner Gary T. Wilson of Eligible Social Club.

 

This duo has taken on a new approach to singles events by staying focused on what singles attending events really want-creating themed based events. Singles events can be discouraging for those trying to enter back into the dating scene.  Shanny in the City feels it’s important that we set creative “ice breakers” in order to facilitate successful mingling amongst the group. Mingle cards, and flirtatious name tags can work extremely well for singles in order for one not to seclude themselves in one area of the room.

As a dating/relationship expert she has been featured on Cosmo TV’s “Oh So Cosmo” providing blind date etiquette tips.

Her services include professional Matchmaking and a “Wingwoman” service that teaches her clients how to be successful in approaching the opposite sex by landing a date.

About Gary T. Wilson-Gary Wilson is founder and President of Eligible Inc. and Eligible Social Club and has been involved with the dating world for close to a decade. His weekly blog on dating and relationships enjoys over one hundred unique views per day including the popular monthly “Ask-A-Man” blog. Not only an Eligible Inc. night course instructor but as well Gary is a presenter at various women’s conferences and seminars speaking on the realities of how the 21st century man approaches dating and how the 21st century woman can benefit from this knowledge. Gary is also a diversified entrepreneur whose other ventures have been featured on Global National News, CHTV News, The National Post, The Financial Post, The Globe and Mail, Marketing Magazine, to name a few.
