"Anonymous" groups
I'm currently writing a short story about a "Reject's club", like an Alchoholics Anonymous for people who have been unsuccessful in finding love. It's not that serious, really, the club isn't even the focal point. It's a witty story, but I need a little background on such anonymous clubs so I can convey the right atmosphere and not make it sound like a fake, or a parody. Not much info, just enough for the right setting.
Thanks in advance.

Like kind of a dating group? There are thousands on the internet, but I get the feeling that isn't what you're looking for. I don't know if there are any real-world dating groups (well actually, I'm sure there are, but I don't know the names/details of any). I will try to find something for you.
And incidentally, I aways thought Alcoholics Anonymous was a stupid name. After all, the first thing they do is stand up and say, "Hi, my name is _______ and I'm an alcoholic". Scarcely anonymous.

Those in AA are anonymous to those who don't belong.

Well, that makes more sense, I guess...

Not really a dating group... a group for love rejects to get them out of depression... i's just a plot devide, really, but if someone could describe what a typical session of an AA group is like, it'd be very helpful.  |
