Dating business cards

[roselis]

It was brought up in another thread, but dating business cards?
Does anyone here have them?
What kind of information do you put on them?

Just curiosity while A sleeps.

I am about to print up a bunch of renfaire cards, hence the curiosity

[Deleted]

i would definitely not date anyone who handed me a dating card!

Um, no. Honestly, I think they sound dumb. If you're interested in someone, talk to them and give them your number. If you want to give them more info like email or whatnot, give them an actual business card. If you don't have actual business cards, then sure, make some up, but I wouldn't get ones specifically for dating.

Like I said, it was just curiosity. I make renfaire cards up to hand out at renfaire that have my email and basic contact info on it. I give them to the photographers who ask me for my picture so that I can get a copy of it. I got some great pictures back that way.

Wait, that was a real thing?? I thought it was a joke....and I don't think I would ever consider dating someone who really handed them out!

Hell, I have business cards and rarely give them out to people!

Yea, they really are. A Google search turned up some

businesscards24.com/dating-business-cards/

Wait, what? This can't be real....right??

1. The free kiss one is ridiculous!
2. Those are just business cards...I don't get how they're for dating, unless the contact info is personal vs. business info

This is my thinking too. There can't be people who do this for real. I get making up your own business cards if you don't get them through work, but not real dating business cards.

Some of the others in the search were crazy.

Some did
"I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number
xxx-xxx-xxxx so call me, maybe?"

Yeah those are super dumb. I get doing it for RenFaire because it's a niche and you might have a cute alias or something that you go by. Do you?

Yea. Mine has my name, my wench number, my privateer number, and my email address.

[roselis]

Yep. I am a licensed wench :-) And a licensed privateer. A guy in New York started up the wench guild years and years ago for the local renfaire group there and boy has it grown! We are over 4000 members in the wench guild. There is a rogues guild for the guys. The privateers guild is for those of us who enjoy playing pirate.
Being a guild member has plenty of advantages, aside from being in a great support group. Some vendors at the renfaires will give you a discount. Most renfaires have a hostel where members can store their personal items and get water bottles to stay hydrated.
My first tattoo (not the one shown) is actually the wenches guild emblem. I have been a member for 6 years now.

That's really neat! I've always thought the renfaires were awesome, but I had no idea there was all this stuff that goes along with it. How fun!!

I didn't either until I really got into it after attending for a few years
