If your tried-and-true methods of meeting singles are getting stale — flirting at the gym, going to bars, shmoozing at the dog park — perhaps it’s time for a change of venue. Trust us, interesting singles over 50 are out there, and you don’t have to put up with the stench of a seedy nightclub at 2 a.m. May 14, 2021 Singles holidays over 40 that start on a certain day means your first day will be the first day for other people – and this is one of the easiest ways to meet people. Also, there will usually be an organised event to introduce everyone to each other and there will usually be planned activities on the best vacations for singles over 40. There is one guideline that we must adhere to, in order to be considerate to all our members and hosts. If you sign up for an event with reserved seating (i.e. A happy hour, dinner, Sunday brunch), and you are a no show 3 times, your membership will be terminated. 'Scottsdale's BEST Over 50'.

The wings and crab tots are amazing! But what keeps me coming back is the large selection of hard seltzers. I can no longer drink beer so the seltzers are a godsend.

The beer is ice cold! Nice atmosphere and really good menu.

Great place. Food is excellent great selection and well priced. They have arcade games cornhole pool and foosball too!

Awesome selection, service and environment.

Maybe the best BBQ place in Philly. Great service and everything is fresh and tasty. Try the Korean wings.

protip: get the brisket, then get the brisket cheesesteak

Great seasonal beers. Small but delicious. They also have a good food menu with some very delicious dumplings.

If you haven't had a chance to try Crime & Punishment's brews yet, keep an eye out for their Pope Francis-related gose 'Jesus Wept', a wheat beer brewed with salt and coriander. Read more.

Wow the beers are great and come in different colors ! Talk about fun and tasty!

Very friendly staff. Excellent coffee - a little acidic, in a good way. They also sell great sandwiches from American Sardine Bar (pricey) or just get a bagel with cream cheese on the cheap.

Nice, clean, modern place to get a quality brewed cup of joe. Also the baristas apologized for once having to subject everyone to Death Cab for Cutie. Now that's service!

Amazing pour over coffees. Bagels are delicious as well. But occasionally I treat myself to an almond croissant.

Great beer, prices and atmosphere. It gets busy so get there at a time to grab a seat.

Stephen Starr’s Fishtown beer garden boasts ping pong tables and table games. Happy Hour deals include $3 fries and $10 liter drafts.

Great food that is surprisingly filling. It is a cash only place though. Other than that, excellent service with a relaxing feel.

Get up and leave and go to there other location on 2nd Street in Northern Liberty

Beware. A 15 minute wait is really an hour wait. #notcool

Awesome spot! Get the hoagie waffle, if available. Be sure to use the bug spray they have on hand if you plan on sitting outside.

Awesome place, cool 'Center City vibe' in East Kensington. The 'Vegan Jawn' sandwich is delish. Love the selection of sour beers.

Super cool inside. Not a fan of the food. Go if you love pickled things.

It's an awesome hangout spot by the river. Hammocks are the best!

Beer!! Grab a good spot n kick back...

The fried chicken itself is like no other. I love their macaroni salad, which is a little sweet. The corn bread is phenomenal as well!

The O.G. Is the best fried chicken sand-o in Philly.

Hands down favorite bar in Philadelphia. The atmosphere is always comfortable, the food is always fantastic, great beer choices, and the bartenders are awesome

Bottle Bar East's a two-story beer-mart-cum-bar-cum-gastropub-cum-game-room that looks like a cross between the factory in Rudy... Ruuuudy... RUUUUDY... RUUUUUUUDY... and the ultimate beer bodega Read more.

THIS IS A BAR don't be fooled by it looking like a beer take out with the best selection on this side of the city.Everyone who works here is awesome,so come in grab a beer from the fridge and hangout!

Great drinks and food all around our favorite brunch place in Fishtown. Their pancake sausage sandwich is to die for.

Great deviled eggs, inspired cocktails, mediocre table service... Sit at the bar.

The bartenders are almost as friendly as the prices. Read more.

Sardine sammies are a must!

Get the Pittsburgh (I know I know) Cheesesteak. It is awesome.

Signature sandwiches and a constantly rotating menu make this a solid addition to our blue collar bar food scene. [Eater 38 Member]

A South Philly shop that’s grown immensely, Primo Hoagie has a long list of hoagie variants, including the Turkey Diablo and the Knuckle Sandwich (provolone and roasted peppers).

Its all about the tuna Diablo, awesome Italian tuna with a bit of a kick

The cubanno sandwich is excellent (coming from a meat lover). Textures and flavors of everything on the sandwich was perfect for a great summer lunch.

Tres Leche and everything else. Try Beet Margarita and all of the tacos!

We were here for the soft opening. The tacos, empanadas and arepas were fantastic. The specialty drinks need to be fine tuned. Overall, very promising!

Although we're pretty lucky to have access to hundreds of singles on all of these dating apps out there, it's important to take a break from online dating from time to time.

Why? Well, you need to give yourself a chance to meet someone organically.

Not everyone wants their “how we met” story to be a “we both swiped right” story. Even though dating apps are super convenient, they're, unfortunately, putting a stop to the meet-cute.

Meeting someone in real life is already a first step in the right direction: There's a cute “how we met” story to tell, an immediate connection formed and an idyllic memory to look back on.

Not everyone wants their 'how we met' story to be a 'we both swiped right' story.

Many women prefer meeting men in real life because it creates the opportunity for a more natural connection. A face-to-face first meeting allows you to get a feel for his personality, his sense of humour and his ability to converse in person, none of which can be determined on an app.

It's these detriments of dating apps that waste our time when someone we meet up with isn't at all who we thought they'd be IRL, and it's these wasted nights that motivate us to meet men out in the real world, instead.

Here are 16 places to meet single guys IRL, as well as some tips on how to talk to him once you spot him:

Send him a drink at a restaurant

I can't count the number of times I've had a drink at a busy restaurant, and I could see at table of attractive men nearby. Instead of talking about how cute they are, why not send one of them a drink?

Ask his server what he's drinking, and ask them to bring him one from you. I tried this once, simply as a social experiment, and it was both hilarious and successful. I live tweeted the whole thing.

Ask his server what he's drinking, and ask them to bring him one from you.

After I sent him the beer, he, of course, came up to my table and said thank you, and he even sat down at my table for a bit. We exchanged numbers, and he commended me on my confidence, saying that nobody had ever done that before.

At a party

It's so easy to meet single guys at parties, but we often make the mistake of hanging out in a corner with our girl friends all night, and we're too shy to approach anyone.

The guy you have your eye on won't notice you if you're tucked away in that same corner all night, so here's the deal: If you want a guy to notice you at a party, you should be standing in a high-traffic area.

If you want a guy to notice you at a party, you should be standing in a high-traffic area.

Stand by the fridge where all the beers are. Park yourself by the water cooler. Stand by the food. You'll meet lots of men this way. You can also check for cute guys holding almost-empty beers and say, “I'm going to grab myself a beer. Do you want one?”

Always go to parties with your outgoing friends because if all else fails, you can get them to march right up to the guy you want to talk to and say, “Hey, I want you to meet my friend!”

At a hardware store

Hardware stores are one of the easiest places to meet men, especially since so many of them shop there. I was at Home Depot the other day, and it was hot-guy-central.

The moment you spot a guy buying tools who catches your eye, walk past him, stop and say, “Do you, by chance, know what I need to buy to install my floating shelves?”

Then, you can start chatting about home decorating, what he's buying and why. It's an effortless conversation topic that can easily lead to a date.

Line-ups

Any sort of line-up is a great excuse to chat with someone.

If a cute guy happens to be behind you in line at Starbucks or in front of you in line for Chipotle, don't hesitate to pass the time by striking up a conversation. Line-ups are boring, and he'd probably rather chat with you than check his phone for the next five minutes.

If you're at Starbucks, for example, try tapping him on the shoulder and saying something like, “Hey, if I buy a brownie will you eat half?”

While volunteering

Single guys do volunteer sometimes. And the type of guy you'll meet while volunteering will probably be a good-quality, nice guy you can bring home to Mom.

If you're in the same volunteering group, you can chat with him, mention you're going to be volunteering at another event next weekend and ask him if he'd like to join you.

At a coffee shop

Places To Meet Single Women

Plenty of successful, entrepreneurial men work all day or all night at coffee shops. And the popular, busy coffee shops almost always involve sharing tables with strangers.

Plenty of successful, entrepreneurial men work all day or all night at coffee shops.

Sometimes, only certain tables have an outlet to plug in your laptop, which is a great excuse to ask to share the table (since you need that plug). Once you're sharing a table with him, you can make conversation by asking him what he's working on.

At the dog park

The dog park is a great place to meet men, so if you don't have a dog, you need to borrow your friend's dog ASAP.

You can say things like, “Aw, my dog likes your dog. We should exchange numbers so these new best friends can meet up again.” Or if you see a guy petting your dog, you can say, “He seems to like you. He doesn't like everyone, so take that as a compliment.”

On the subway

Similar to busy coffee shops, public transportation often involves sitting next to a cute stranger. If you spot an empty seat next to a cutie, sit down and ask him what book he's reading, introduce yourself and make small talk. That small talk could result in numbers being exchanged.

At a sporting event or a sports bar

Head to any baseball game, hockey game or football game, or even to sports bars to watch the game. Trust me, lots of cute single guys will be there. And they'll definitely be game for a distraction between periods.

If you're both cheering for the same team, you'll already have common ground to start a conversation.

If you're both cheering for the same team, you'll already have common ground to start a conversation. Even if you're cheering for opposing teams, you can joke around with each other about it, aka you can flirt with each other.

Waiting areas

Whether you're waiting to board the same flight at the airport or in the waiting room at the dentist's office, you have an excuse to chat with someone when there's time to pass.

For some reason, we ladies always think we need an excuse to talk to a guy. Well, if you need one, passing the time in a waiting room is a great reason to strike up a conversation.

Grocery stores

Whenever I go grocery shopping, I always see men shopping by themselves, and there are plenty of excuses to talk to them.

You can walk right up to him and say, “Excuse me, where did you find that stir-fry kit? I love how the veggies are already chopped up for you.”

Usually, grocery stores also have line-ups at every check-out lane during peak hours, so choose the line-up with a lonely man in it. You could even joke around with a playful “Hey, thanks for saving my spot in line!” and pretend to budge in front of him.

In an amateur acting class

Plenty of people join amateur acting classes or improv groups as a hobby. It's perfect for meeting new people, as you're often paired up with someone and forced to become fast friends as you act out a scene together.

At the gym

Guys like picking girls up at the gym because they love the way we look when we aren't wearing makeup or trying too hard. It's a casual setting that makes it easy to talk to someone, even if you're just pretending you need advice on whether or not your form looks good.

A shared hobby

A shared hobby or activity is a great way to meet men in real life.

Everyone likes dating someone they share interests with.

If you're both on the same soccer team, you're both in the same outdoor education group or you're in the same running group, it's a great foundation to start a relationship. Everyone likes dating someone they share interests with.

A set-up

Don't be afraid to ask your friends to set you up with someone. Everyone knows an eligible bachelor or two, and not enough people organize set-ups these days.

On vacation

People seem to be the best versions of themselves when they're on vacation. They're relaxed, confident and often have zero inhibitions when it comes to meeting new people.

It's incredibly easy to pick up a guy at the pool and ask him if he can recommend a good restaurant nearby or if he wants to join you on a snorkeling adventure.
