As majority of the workforce here in Dubai, in fact roughly 90% are ex-pats, this land is no stranger to lonely people, married or not.

There are the single ones, who have easily decided to embark on a new journey following their chosen career path;

There are the breadwinners of families, having to live far away from home to support a family;

There are the couples who both decided to start a new life here in Dubai;

Where and how can they meet people that they can relate with?

Few of the factors segregating the ex-pats here in Dubai are racial differences, religion and social status. This makes them quite cautious and wary in dealing with people. Some choose not to interact with other people that much at all! So where can people really start meeting other people that share the same interest as theirs?

Last year, a social and dining club was launched in Dubai dubbed Table4six. The concept of this club is that they bring together people using a good denominator: same interests. This breaks down the barriers that hold them back from socializing with other people.

The club will basically ask for your profile to find out what type of person you are, what are your interests and with which type of people you are more likely to blend well. They arrange dinners for six people, and you can be invited to those dinners. You can accept as many invitations as you want depending on how socially active you are, and how many new people you want to meet! It’s really up to you….

This can be a big help to ex-pats who don’t know where to meet the type of people they want to meet, in a decent and casual manner. The idea of six people is good because the number perfectly makes up a crowd in such a way that nobody can be left aside.

What makes this club great is that it’s applicable to singles and couples. The environment and setting is made ready for you. One just has to talk and get to know the other people in the group and take it from there.

Didn’t like the group you had dinner with last week? Don’t worry, as long as you are a member, the invitations will keep pouring in! Hopefully this would lend a hand in easing up the number of socially challenged ex-pats in Dubai.
