MelodyJ Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 This is for all you singles. I have been out of things for so long, I don't even have any single girlfriends to talk to. Someone tell me what is the dating scene like these days? Do people over 30 go out to clubs or what? I am dying to go out dancing, but I don't even know what is appropriate anymore, not to mention I have no one to go with! Give me the scoop, please. I need to have some fun.
kellyp1 Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 I am 33 and my friends and I go out dancing sometimes but it is often the younger crowds there. All of this really depends on where you live. I live in Orange County where there is not a lot going on but LA, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara... you get more of an age mix at the dance places. I tend to do dive bars or sports bars more now, play some pool or darts and just relax with a friend or two. Plus, house parties are still fun. Being 33 is on the cusp enough to get away with going to the younger places but really not enough to find too many guys my age there. For other activities, tailgating at sports events (carefully at baseball games now though), going to local events (i.e. Oktoberfest), going to radio station events. There is a ton of fun stuff for singles to do now. Good luck!
Author MelodyJ Posted November 4, 2004 Author Posted November 4, 2004 Thanks for the info. Actually, I love Orange County. And, really enjoy the smaller pool bars too. Just every once in a while, I really want to go dancing. Now I just need to find some single women friends to hang out with. I used to go out, the last time I was single, with my sister, but she is in a new relationship and he does'nt care for her to be out with the girls. I think making female friends is harder than meeting men.

iceisles Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 I don't even have a singles scene. All of my friends are either married or dating, and hanging out with me to catch a game or something is never a realistic possibility. I think I would be meeting a lot of people if I had the same "hang out with the guys" plan that I did when I was going to school. That's why I use every opportunity I can to meet people at work, even though the cons of that are frequently debated.
alicia24 Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 girly if you lived in jersey i would go out dancing with you. all my friends are married or have kids i wish i had someone to cut the rug with
Author MelodyJ Posted November 4, 2004 Author Posted November 4, 2004 Thanks Jersey, your cute. At least I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. With the divorce rate being the way it is there should be no shortage of women who are looking for friends to go out with. Hmm, maybe there should be a web site for single women to hook up with each other, no doubt there is alot of us out there. I'm in L.A. county, and I'm willing to meet new people if anyone else is.
guest Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Hi, My experience in SF is that most people at the clubs are in their early/mid 20s. There are some bars where you can find single people in their 30s, but mostly only in a few areas. Cities are better to be single and older, but still, the majority of people are in their 20s. Good luck...try to find single groups around your area- check the internet..and try to make girl friends that way. Good luck
