Even if you’re single and ready to mingle, it can be hard going finding a potential partner.
With loud bars out of the question, and internet dating a little outside your comfort zone, what are your options?
Well, we’ve done the hard yards, dug in the depths of the minds of SAHM’s lady knowledge, and here are 16 ideas to get you started.
1. Local Dog Park
Meeting someone at a dog park is easier than you might think, because your four-legged friend does most of the introductions for you. If you don’t have a dog, offer to walk or babysit for a friend, and get you in with the dog-owning community that way. This is a great option for people who just love dogs, and the wonderful people who choose to have them in their lives. Have a chat, laugh about dogs, and the relationship grows from there!
2. Music Festival
Music festivals are a fantastic place to meet a potential partner, because you’re both caught up in the awesome momentum of the festival moving around you. People tend to be really laid back, and just enjoying living in the moment at a festival. You could meet in the line at the merch tent, or even in the mosh pit. As a bonus, you can almost guarantee you’ll enjoy listening to similar music, which will save a lot of annoyance later on.
3. Volunteering
Doing something for someone else can make you feel really good, and lots of people get something out of it. It’s also a great way to meet a potential partner because volunteering is often something people do to get into a like-minded community. Choose a volunteering position that suits you and your interests, so you can be sure to meet someone who at least enjoys some of the same things.
4. Sports Club
There are lots of women out there that play and love to play sports. However, the fact is that there are even more men enjoying sports. So whether you’re playing or watching, being a part of a sports club can be a great way to meet a single partner. People can be really passionate about sports, and they can be a really good foundation on which to build a relationship. Plus, you’ll always have something to do together!
