Where To Meet People
In your search for a great mate, choose a location or event specific to your interests and the type of person you are looking to meet. Do you like to dance? Are you an outdoors person? Are you a foodie?
Dancers:
Take social dance lessons at your local club. Most urban areas have clubs that offer a free night to teach club-goers how to dance to the music they play. Popular venues are Salsa and Country and Western, but you can also find Hip-Hop, Ballroom, Swing Dancing or anything your heart desires. Fitness clubs also offer dance classes like Zumba, Cumbia and Samba. I would stay away from Belly Dancing or Pole Dancing classes, as they are not usually mixed crowd classes.
Foodies:
You don’t have to go to culinary school, there are some great recreational cooking classes at local high end grocery stores; the national chain “Sur La Table” offers cooking classes and some chefs tour the US hosting events. Other places to meet like-minded foodies are at Celebrity Chef book signings, Food or Ethnic Festivals – there seems to be one for every type of food, region or country, Farmers Markets and Wine Tasting excursions. Many local retailers also hold Wine Tasting nights.
The great outdoors:
Look in your area for sunset hikes for singles, there are singles clubs for all things outdoors including snow skiing and golf. The Sierra Club has local chapters in many cities and there are outdoor singles specific groups that offer a range of monthly activities including pool parties, horseback riding, bicycle riding and dog play dates.
Doing something you enjoy will enhance your life whether you meet a mate immediately or not. You will probably also gain a few friends or business connections. So, get out, get busy, and enjoy life.
