Where do single people go?

How old and what location?

Why does it have to be a quick dinner? Why does it have to be on the early side? There’s no curfew for women. We are allowed to linger as long as we want over dinner and drinks. It doesn’t make us loose floozies.

My life is too busy with work/kids/home life activities to spend time dedicated to a singles event. Instead I try to incorporate group activities into what I would normally do. So, instead of going for a run by myself, I go with a running group. Instead of going to a gym, I joined a local crew club and row. I also think it’s easier to meet people with similar interests when you are both doing that activity.

This. Go to a wine tasting. Join a hiking club (or knitting or book club), take a class through smithsonian.edu on something that catches your fancy.

Yes, this. I went to MGM by myself, because I like gambling. I wasn’t there to meet people or socialize, but certainly could have.

I love this idea!

Republican gals-n-guys congregate at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, 5200 Southpoint Pkwy. off I-95. #MAGA!

Last night I had dinner and a beer and an early bedtime. Tonight I'll go to the Baltimore Playhouse. Kind of a young crowd, but it's fun.

When I was divorced and newly single, I went to the library, walked my dog more, went to group runs with the local running club, played an extra night in a different coed sports league, and took up my coworkers’ happy hour offers more frequently. I agree that you should just do things that interest you and meeting people will happen naturally.

Great advice and also be open to playing little pranks on strangers that keep you entertained. One I have really enjoyed is finding a large-ish, broken-off tree branch (a fairly light one) and then behind my apartment building and the one next to it, raking it across people's first floor windows at night. People freak out! I like to think they look skeleton fingers. They must be scared! LOL

I just spit out my tea laughing so hard. What a wicked and perverse sense of humor you have, love the total non sequitur to the OP's original question, "where do single people go?" I will now imagine that DC's singletons will be roaming around at night pulling creepy little pranks on their neighbors, per your curious suggestion. Thank you for making me laugh.
