Obviously we don&#8217;t want that to happen.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just good manners to buy a drink if you are using a bar&#8230;even if it&#8217;s a soft drink.<\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t make a profit on the events as we do them as a bonus for our members. Most of the money we make is spent on staff, advertising, entertainment etc.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s the deal. \u00a0Tap water is fine, but please buy a drink with it!<\/p>\n<p>If everyone does that then the venues will all be happy and the spends will be fine. \u00a0We&#8217;ll also be able to get better venues for our parties which is great for you too :)<\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t like having to ask this as we think it should be common courtesy anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Happy dating!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Asian Single Solution team<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>www.asiansinglesolution.com<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We really need your help with a difficult subject.
