6 Organic Ways to Meet Singles in Vancouver
Many factors make the dating scene in Vancouver a little bit challenging. People are way too busy and it seems like there aren't a lot of options asides from online dating. But with that said, it is 100% possible to meet new people without dating apps. Like finding a good job, finding a partner takes a lot of work. Here are a few ways to meet Vancouver singles and expand your social circle.
Group Tours
Group tours are an exciting way to connect with new people who share your interest. It's a pressure-free environment where you can feel at ease, make new friends, and have so much fun. Vancouver is home to various natural attractions, so if you are a nature enthusiast, this is a great place o meet adventurous singles. You can talk about the amazing things you discovered during the tour if you don’t know what to say. You can search for upcoming Vancouver events and tours that you can explore. Be sure to take pictures for your 'adventures Vancouver album or journal.
Speed Dating
There are a variety of in-person speed dating events hosted in Vancity. Event attendees of a specific age range, sexual orientations, and interests can connect with their potential partners. You have a set time limit — usually between 2 to 7 minutes to converse or chat with each person. At the end of the event, you will submit a scorecard showing the names of the people you would like to see again. If someone you picked also wrote down your name, you have a match. You will be given the contact details of your match — if you both give consent — so you can connect and get to know each other.
Communities, Groups, and Clubs
This is another excellent way to meet like-minded singles in Vancouver. There are a lot of communities to choose from; you may have to search. Find something you are interested in or curious about and see if there are any groups or clubs you can join. However, if you are looking for a place to meet business-minded elites then you might want to opt for an invitation-only club. You may be interested in festivals or volunteer events.
A Dog Park
Are you a dog lover? Dog parks are a great place to find a partner who loves dogs or pets as well. Why not try to strike up a conversation the next time you take your dog to the park? You'd never know; you might find a date.
Trivia Nights
Trivia Nights are quiz game events hosted by bars. The quiz questions cover various topics from pop culture and current affairs to movies and ‘complete-the-quotes.' You may be wary about meeting potential life partners or friends at a bar; themed bars are always a perfect opportunity to connect with singles, have fun, play games and learn something new.
Matchmaking
Matchmaking is a more focused and detail-oriented approach to meeting commitment-minded singles. If you are tired of wasting time dating different people every week and want to find that special someone, then matchmaking services are your best bet. The goal is to find the right person for you.
Matchmaking agencies offer membership plans you can choose from, after which you are assigned a personal matchmaker. The matchmaker works with you to profile your needs and preferences. Potential matches are screened, after which candidate information is shared with you and if you consent, you will meet your match for a date.
Final Words
You don't have to use a dating app to meet guys or ladies to date in Vancouver. You just have to put in some effort to visit places and attend events. You may have to leave your comfort zone and go to go where people are to meet people.
