House Rules
We are passionate about everyone having a great time and feeling comfortable - enabling everyone to bring their authentic selves and make genuine connections. Read on for our house rules, that we ask you to agree with before joining our community.
Don't be a dick
We won’t tolerate any form of disrespectful, hateful, or discriminatory behaviour towards anyone in our community. Whether you fancy them or not, even if they turn you down, we expect everyone to be respectful, kind, and polite towards others. Any violation of this may result in removal from our community and being banned from future events.
Be more Cher
We believe that everyone is fabulous and has their own personality to bring to the table, so always show up as your honest, true, unapologetic self. Believe in your own sauce and making genuine friends and connections will come easily.
Use your words
Nobody can read your mind. Please communicate kindly and respectfully if you aren’t interested in someone or you change your mind. We HATE ghosting; as much as it may feel uncomfortable to reject someone, it’s the decent thing to do and will allow both parties to move on. If you need some tips for letting people down, see our instagram page.
No means no
Consent must be enthusiastically mutual in order for anything to progress. If someone isn’t sure, or says no, this means no. Clear communication is encouraged for all of our community - start practising putting those boundaries down and respecting other peoples’ boundaries!
No double dipping
Whilst we encourage you to pursue the type of relationship that works for you (monogamy, polygamy, ENM etc), it’s vital that you are open and honest about what you are looking for. You must be single to attend any event labelled a singles event.
Stop before you vom
Whilst not all of our events are based around alcohol, but some are. We totally get it - you’re nervous, there’s someone hot you want to approach, and you have a few too many Proseccos. We don’t encourage excessive drinking at our events, as the chances of meeting your soulmate or making genuine connections when you are wasted is slim and judgements can get blurred. We care about your welfare and don’t want to have to get the mop and bucket out!
Feedback
We want to provide the best events and services that we can, with great people who you can make genuine connections with. Did someone make you feel uncomfortable? Was something a bit naff and could be improved? Or have you got a fab idea for a future event? Let us know in your post-event feedback forms, or email us at hello@authenticcollective.co.uk.
All feedback is confidential, unless you give us consent to use your feedback in our marketing.
