Have you heard of traffic light or ‘stop and go’ parties?
I just heard about them for the first time, and apparently it’s where you invite a bunch of people and everyone wears a color relative to their relationship status:
Green means single.
Yellow means it’s complicated.
Red means taken.
These parties are basically a way to have a big fat ‘stop’ or ‘go’ sign on you. This way, if you’re talking to someone, instead of slyly having to check each other’s ring fingers or being in an awkward situation where a significant other walks up mid-conversation, you can easily tell what their status is by the color they’re wearing.
I think it’d be a really interesting experiment to try. If you’re single you can meet a bunch of new people without any pressure or potential awkwardness, and it puts your married friends at ease because they’re essentially wearing a stop sign, so they can still attend without feeling like they might lead a stranger on.

What do you think? Have you heard of traffic light parties? Would you ever attend one? Have you ever attended one?
