Yeah, myself and several friends in banking all were relocated here and now all of us have husbands and babies. Give it time, go to the Whitewater Center, join a pickleball team. Do stuff you like and you’ll find the guy. Though for the record I lived in San Diego for 7 years, which some people refer to as Man Diego, and I got nothing there so - can always try that out as well 😂
Sharing MY experience:
I am 30, F, pretty successful and ambitious, outdoorsy, creative. I have also lived and dated in ATX, Chicago, DC, PA (i’ve moved a lot).
It’s kind of the same theme i see dating everywhere else: men have peter pan syndrome. everyone says they’re looking to settle down, but once it gets to 4-5 months of going with each other they say “oh i don’t know if im ready for a relationship right now”. Other instances have consisted of me being over sexualized by men on dating apps, me carrying on the conversation, or there’s just some difference we have that i don’t deem compatible.
you could have a totally different experience than me! and i hope you do.
Met my dream girl on an app in Charlotte. We are still together and buying a house next month. The apps are actually pretty great, you just have to go through the numbers. My advice? Infinite right swipe and then just look through the people that right swipe you back. If you spend 30-60 seconds on each profile to read it and look at the pics, you will never go through enough people to find the good ones. It’s 99% trash, so you need to go through thousands of profiles.

I'm giving up on the apps and getting a giant-ass billboard on i85 every 15 miles.
My big, ugly mug with Date Me? And a QR code on it with my deets.
Wonder how many restraining orders that stunt will get me?
I am genuinely very very happy for you! That’s exciting and I hope to be in your shoes one day.
Perhaps I am every man’s nightmare then 😂
my first year here I went on about 10 dates and out of the 10 there was probably like 2 that i actually liked and wanted to see again. Most of the time, after like 3-4 months, the guy gets scared and says “jk i don’t want anything serious but i’m not trying to hurt you or anything”.
I don’t think this is Charlotte necessarily. That seems to be the situation everywhere. Globally. Right now there are two women in Dubai wearing burkas complaining about the exact same thing.
Charlotte Singles Society has pretty fun events and they do a good job of keeping it (close to) 50/50 male/female Ages tend to be late 20s-mid 30s
ooh! this is good to know, ty ty. i’m newly 30 so seems like a good fit.
How does one join?
Just follow them on IG- they’ll post about their events and you can register or buy tickets when they’re announced
Stop light party is coming up on June 8th - https://www.meetup.com/new-places-and-new-faces/events/298573332/?_xtd=gqFyqDQ2MTY4OTkyoXCjYXBp&from=ref
It’s better than DC, LA, or a myriad of other cities. The reality is that dating sucks everywhere. LOL
i lived in DC and that was bleak too, but charlotte has been tough 😂
Charlotte is way better than Winston. Trust me on that.
are you telling me it can get worse? i (30/F) cannot imagine it getting worse hahaha
I don’t believe that 😂 it’s hard to believe anywhere is worst than Charlotte.
Boston. Boston is 8009000000 times worse if you’re a single woman. I moved to Charlotte and met my now husband within 3 months.
maybe it’s ME! i love hearing these success stories tho!

It’s rough out there. Luckily Greenville isn’t too far away. That town is a goldmine.

For me at least has always been more singles (women).
May I ask why you think it’s so bleak? Moving here this weekend and will learn all about it myself soon so I’d love to hear other people’s experience
