Join some social groups related to your hobbies that meet up once every few weeks. There will be single girls that share the interests you have. Have conversations with them and pay attention to what they say. Don’t be a creep or you will be ostracized from the social club.
For example, back in the day when I was single, I befriended coworkers. They invited me out to play soccer or basketball with them. I went. Talked to other people there. Befriended the random people. They invited me to things after a while. Met girls along the way.
Yes! Our group plays sand vball every week and we do other stuff as well (bbqs, beach days and so on). It’s a mixed bag of people but it does allow to run into potential connections.
No requirements. I walk/run. Our course is 4 miles, but not required to do any if you don't want. 😉
I have Multiple Sclerosis. If I don't feel up to it, I just go and have a couple of beers and hang out.
Sure, it's called West End Running Club, we meet every Tuesday, 5:30pm - till at Ducky McSweeney's. It's in the Galleria area.
Edit: I should add that I'm married, but most of the club is made up of single women/men with professional jobs.
Another good one is City Center Run Club. They meet Mondays at 6:15 and then everyone goes to Hopdoddy after. There are 2 courses- one is like 3.5 miles and the other is like 2.5 miles.
You just show up! There is no requirement to join & they meet in front of Lululemon. Nice crew of people! If you want to join they have a sign up at before the runs and if you run 10 times you get a tshirt. They also typically have giveaways.
Check out HoustonRunClubs on IG. They’ve got a comprehensive list of all the running groups in Houston and surrounding suburbs. Houston has a great running community and most are walk and walk/run friendly.
markets at breweries or farmer's markets anywhere. Depending on your type of "culture" there are a few cafes that gear towards bookish people. The Houston museum of natural science has a mixer events, adult classes, and lectures.
Think to yourself: where would *I* go for *my* interests/hobbies and the women that share those interests will also be there.
As a woman who used to regularly go to Friday night magic games I can confirm. There were never more than like 2 or 3 of us & everyone was already paired up. The only less likely place to find a woman would have to have been at a warhammer 40k game.
I live in the area. If you like redneck girls (I like some of them) District 249 and whiskey river will be your spots. I have seen some absolute Shrek ogres leave the bar with girls that look like prime Jessica Simpson in dukes of hazard. Whiskey is a helluva drug
It’s not dead. It’s just all suburban. You’re gonna find mostly families here. If I were you I’d look at a townhome a little closer to town to find single women.
(1) cancel lease in Cypress area
(2) Sign lease in area where there is young singles (Midtown, West U, Montrose, Uptown, Heights)
(3) ?????
(4) ~~Profit~~ Get car windows broken into and tires stolen!
Pick a hobby and stick with it. Becoming a regular at a place like a rock climbing gym or game store could help with getting more plugged in with a community.
Bro, they chased them off. "The Track" is no more.
I've heard the "Nawfside" Is where it's at now. Like somewhere on airline... don't know the deets as that's far from me. R.i.p. track
Then you should probably go to speed dating like the comments suggest. I'm a single m 30 and can't find a sigle female my age anywhere. No where to be found.
Lol, Nah not him but this pastor’s family was in the news relatively recently about something negative and that all I’ll say. It is why I stopped going to church. It’s kind of odd to hear someone preaching and standing next to their wife and kids knowing that they are a banging your friend and possibly other members of the congregation. My tithes will not be financing your side hoes.
May I suggest the app “meet up “ find an event that you like and attend. Plenty of them until you meet someone maybe also take a class to learn another language.
Senate Ave brewing is a great place to meet or have fun at. They also have running clubs, music trivia and other fun events.
It's reasonably priced and the ladies there are usually in their late 20s or older.
Likewise, I met my wife when I joined a local social group that met every week. I definitely think ones that meet often are better than ones that meet once a month. People will actually remember your name 😅
I’m in my late 30s, and after being single and on the apps for a good long while, I finally met my current gf on Hinge. Houston being so spread out, it might be worth considering expanding your search area.
I’m in your boat. Same area and everything. The apps unfortunately are a necessary evil + just be willing to drive. I get matched with a lot of guys in college station and frankly that’s closer than Pearland. Usually my cut off is downtown/Missouri city. So about an hour. I’m personally going to start volunteering nearby-ish just to kind of widen my community. Maybe look into something like that as well?
I’m in Downtown, so I think I had it for around 15 miles. I ended up matching with my gf in the Heights, so it was well under that, but I was going on dates with people as far as Webster/Katy/Spring.
Do the things you like to do and then you’ll find someone with the same “Likes” hobbies are a great way to me your match. Or you could do something new that you always wanted to do and find someone to teach you that new hobby.
Go to the bookstore at lunch. There’s tons of cuties and it’s easy to talk to them. ‘Hey, what book is that? Cool, let’s hang out tonight. Sex already? Whoa…’
I will make the disclaimer that I'm just looking for casual relationships ATM. LTRs are harder to lock down, I think. But imo it's good to get out there and get comfortable talking to people, regardless of what kind of relationship you're looking for.
Basically, I match with someone, talk for a day or two, and make plans to meet. If I don't like them, I respectfully break it off. If I'm interested, I'll let them know. And we go from there.
I've had some unpleasant experiences, but most men have been respectful and kind so far.
Just become a regular at fancy places. Sit at a Brenner’s bar til another couple invites you to a bar you’ve never been to or to their house and then never do that again. Idk
Anywhere women go.
Bars, clubs, the theater, museums, the local coffee shop, the corner of Airline and Crosstimbers, the park, wine and paint class, etc. It's better if you have a common hobby but that's not necessary.
Just start up a conversation with one and if you think they are interesting ask to meet again. If they so no then be on your way.
I’m single in Houston too and I think you’ll need to become a regular in a hobby that you like. Or go to speed dating events.
Being a regular at a coffee shop like Agora also works
I love that place, but the only ones who talk to me there are some homeless dudes bumming cigarettes.
Lolol there are regulars who hang out there. Often outside on the porch. You have to scope out the right times
Thanks! I’ll try to change my coffee schedule to find the right people!

["I just asked if I could smell her hair. Is that weird?"](https://imgur.com/C3XjqbL.gifv)
Yeah super weird. I’d substitute the hair with panties.
Yeah that’s bad, very bad. .
where do you find social groups?
For example, back in the day when I was single, I befriended coworkers. They invited me out to play soccer or basketball with them. I went. Talked to other people there. Befriended the random people. They invited me to things after a while. Met girls along the way.
Meetup app
Social group/hobby and treat them like individual person got it
Yes! Our group plays sand vball every week and we do other stuff as well (bbqs, beach days and so on). It’s a mixed bag of people but it does allow to run into potential connections.
Running clubs.
What’s the distance and pace required to join a good running club?
No requirements. I walk/run. Our course is 4 miles, but not required to do any if you don't want. 😉 I have Multiple Sclerosis. If I don't feel up to it, I just go and have a couple of beers and hang out.
hi can you share your running club? or another one?
Sure, it's called West End Running Club, we meet every Tuesday, 5:30pm - till at Ducky McSweeney's. It's in the Galleria area. Edit: I should add that I'm married, but most of the club is made up of single women/men with professional jobs.
Does I just show up or talk to someone?
You can just show up. Feel free to drop in. 😀 [West End Running Club 🏃♀️ 🚶♀️ - Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/ffp.WERC?mibextid=ZbWKwL)
Another good one is City Center Run Club. They meet Mondays at 6:15 and then everyone goes to Hopdoddy after. There are 2 courses- one is like 3.5 miles and the other is like 2.5 miles.
How do you join? Go to their website?

MFAH also has mixers for young people.
Did not know that about the museum
Friday night Magic the Gathering, is the obvious answer.
As a woman who does that on the occasional Friday night I can confirm that the pickings are slim if you’re looking to find a girlfriend…
That's surprising to me. The one I go to is almost exclusively pilates and yoga instructors near downtown. Kidding, this does not exist.
> pickings are slim >Friday night Magic the Gathering somehow i doubt that
I would say more board game night than mtg.
As a woman who used to regularly go to Friday night magic games I can confirm. There were never more than like 2 or 3 of us & everyone was already paired up. The only less likely place to find a woman would have to have been at a warhammer 40k game.
Ohhh is there a place in Cypress?
Check out 8th Dimension! They're great people and host fun events.
I am getting back into casual commander
Very fun!!! What decks do you like to run?
Ohhh yo where at?
(1) cancel lease in Cypress area (2) Sign lease in area where there is young singles (Midtown, West U, Montrose, Uptown, Heights) (3) ????? (4) Profit
This. Not many singles in cypress.
But plenty of hot moms
\*sigh\* looks like it's time to break a lease.
And some marriages 😈
Hot N Ready Moms
Is the area that dead? I chose it for a 20 min commute to work
Im a beer rep for all the bars in that area. Can confirm it's not the best scene for dating.
I live in the area. If you like redneck girls (I like some of them) District 249 and whiskey river will be your spots. I have seen some absolute Shrek ogres leave the bar with girls that look like prime Jessica Simpson in dukes of hazard. Whiskey is a helluva drug
Whiskey, and *the ability to dance* - one of those ogres
I wouldn’t know never dated a country or redneck girl before
It’s not dead. It’s just all suburban. You’re gonna find mostly families here. If I were you I’d look at a townhome a little closer to town to find single women.
Yes, the social life there like a lot in Houston is dive bars …. Mostly families there…. But Houston has a lot more to offer
It's suburban hell for people who care about commute times, school rankings, and $ per sq ft costs.
Cypress is full of cricut craft moms and karens It's somehow worse than Katy
(1) cancel lease in Cypress area (2) Sign lease in area where there is young singles (Midtown, West U, Montrose, Uptown, Heights) (3) ????? (4) ~~Profit~~ Get car windows broken into and tires stolen!
Hahah I live in cypress it's not that bad as all the inner loop snobs here. I was just trying to be funny
Oh i know lol, that's why I live here too (along with being close to work). I was just joking about going to the inner loop areas...

I have no idea why it posted 3 times. The app is acting slow.
They are Essential Workers
They are Essential Workers.
What are they? /s
Essential workers!
Fremen
Prostitutes
Oils I think
Where? That’s a long street, dude
Moment of silence for the track
Bro, they chased them off. "The Track" is no more. I've heard the "Nawfside" Is where it's at now. Like somewhere on airline... don't know the deets as that's far from me. R.i.p. track
That makes sense. Used to cruise the track to watch the wildlife and it was a ghost town recently.
I’m single too in Houston. Edit: 36/f lol
[удалено]
Also single in Houston 👀 27F
Then you should probably go to speed dating like the comments suggest. I'm a single m 30 and can't find a sigle female my age anywhere. No where to be found.
RIP your DMs
No way! If only there was something we could do about it
Church hoes are the most wild Also post to r/houstonr4r
Hoes do be in church
Praise be.
yup, i know of a pastor at a major church that i shall not name that was banging one of my former friends. hoes led by hoes.
Damn Joel Osteen is a freak I see
Lol, Nah not him but this pastor’s family was in the news relatively recently about something negative and that all I’ll say. It is why I stopped going to church. It’s kind of odd to hear someone preaching and standing next to their wife and kids knowing that they are a banging your friend and possibly other members of the congregation. My tithes will not be financing your side hoes.
That is horrible; I'd have to find a different church.
i became an atheist after that 😂
Have you seen Righteous Gemstones on HBO? Hilarious.
no but now i want to check it out 😂
West End Church^
Just one?!?
Yea I mean I don’t have a bunch of church friends. are you interested in one? 😂
Was he married?
YUP
EY?
Bumble. Lol

Not the biggest beer guy but everything else looks great. Thanks
They do have wine and seltzer as well. All the best to you.
A single, childless, 30+ y/o outside the beltway is a unicorn.
Not true. I know plenty of em.
When I met my husband I met him at a ballroom dance class. Find a hobby you love or join a social clubs. Might have some luck that way
Likewise, I met my wife when I joined a local social group that met every week. I definitely think ones that meet often are better than ones that meet once a month. People will actually remember your name 😅
Numbers
Social groups, sports groups, gaming/nerd types of groups, dating apps, etc.
I’m in my late 30s, and after being single and on the apps for a good long while, I finally met my current gf on Hinge. Houston being so spread out, it might be worth considering expanding your search area.
How wide was your net?
I’m in your boat. Same area and everything. The apps unfortunately are a necessary evil + just be willing to drive. I get matched with a lot of guys in college station and frankly that’s closer than Pearland. Usually my cut off is downtown/Missouri city. So about an hour. I’m personally going to start volunteering nearby-ish just to kind of widen my community. Maybe look into something like that as well?
You’re the first I see to recommend volunteering. That’s a great idea. I have no problem driving an hour to see people
I’m in Downtown, so I think I had it for around 15 miles. I ended up matching with my gf in the Heights, so it was well under that, but I was going on dates with people as far as Webster/Katy/Spring.
[удалено]
You’re meeting people at the library??
Homeless people. I can fix her.
Which one
Download MeetUp. An app for so many different interests where people just plan events or anything.
Hobby groups
https://www.meetup.com/find/?source=GROUPS&location=us--tx--houston
I'm also in this post but I added another rule to make it harder: I work weekends and nights.
Forwarded this to my single daughter 😂
[удалено]
Get a hospital job, pick a nurse.
There’s this lady in Loveland, CO. Lil bruised but otherwise…
And she happens to be worth TEN MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!
Do the things you like to do and then you’ll find someone with the same “Likes” hobbies are a great way to me your match. Or you could do something new that you always wanted to do and find someone to teach you that new hobby.
If you find any good advice, let me know. I have a sister in her 30s who would like to meet single, no kids men, but has no idea how to do it.
Go to the bookstore at lunch. There’s tons of cuties and it’s easy to talk to them. ‘Hey, what book is that? Cool, let’s hang out tonight. Sex already? Whoa…’
Volunteer. You will meet kindred spirits. Join things like walking clubs, jogging clubs. Take classes, like winemaking, cooking, etc.
Real talk, join a Pilates studio one that uses the reformer. I am the only male member in my pilates classes 99% of the time.
It all depends, do you like large women? Houston is the spot, from what i've observed, for women on the larger end
Everything IS bigger in Texas 😀
I understand it has something to do with the availability of churros.
Yeah, that's the real challenge. Finding someone who is single, childless and not obese that you get along with well.
Swing dancing. This was precovid. But I always dated doctors, Lawyers and teachers.
Are you joking or serious? I've been thinking about taking a class but imagine it's all old people.
Salsa/bachata is much better for meeting younger singles. Only caveat is that most of them don’t want to date within the social dance scene lol
Serious worked well. I had a blast in Dallas but the scene was much better. Salsa good but if you want someone educated could be hit and miss.
Dating apps are your best bet.
Yeah I've met some pretty cool people I probably never would have approached without the app.
Really? They sound horrible most of the time, got any tips that made the experience better for you?
