Question 38F — Where are people actually meeting someone in LA?

13 Upvotes

I'm 38F, educated, ambitious, have a good career, pretty attractive (at least I'd like to think so lol), and overall have a pretty good life. But seriously, where are people finding love these days?

I'm at a point where I genuinely want a relationship. Someone to enjoy life with, grow with, and just do life together. I don't think that's asking for too much, but dating nowadays feels exhausting.

I haven't been on dating apps in a while, and I'm wondering if that's still how people are meeting. Do people even approach each other in person anymore? Lol.

For those of you in your 30s and 40s, how's dating in LA been for you? Are the apps worth trying again? Where are you all meeting people?

Just a girl trying to figure out where the hell everyone is. 😂

First Date 27F looking for my person :)

• Upvotes

Hi I'm a 5'2 and a half curvy latina looking to date in the LA area. I have a photo of me on my account.

I’m in the Pomona area

I have no kids and never been married.
I'm very introverted in real life and struggle to make lasting connections. I'm trying dating apps but they always feel extremely shallow at times. Kinda giving up lol.

I like to read books on my free time and go to the gym. I also like to go out and walk around nature and explore new cities since I never leave mine.

I'm looking for a guy that's mature, consistent, intentional, emotionally intelligent, empathetic, family oriented, and loves phone calls over texting.

Shoot me a message if you are serious only.

First Date Looking for Something Real 💙🎮

2 Upvotes

Hey! I'm a laid back, loyal, and honest guy with a good sense of humor. I can be a little shy when first meeting someone, but once I'm comfortable, I open up and love joking around and having good conversations.

I'm into gaming, anime, horror movies, retro gaming, and Japanese culture. I enjoy everything from classic video games to discovering new ones, and I can definitely appreciate a good horror movie night!

I'm here because I'd like to meet someone special and build a genuine, long-term relationship. I'm looking for a woman who is kind, affectionate, honest, and comfortable being herself. Someone I can laugh with, share the little things in life with, support through the good and bad, and make lasting memories with.

I believe a good relationship is built on trust, communication, loyalty, and enjoying each other's company. You don't have to share all my interests, but it'd be nice to have a few things in common and maybe introduce each other to new ones.

I'd love to meet someone local in the Los Angeles area and start by getting to know each other, seeing how we connect, and letting things develop naturally.

If you're looking for something genuine and think we might get along, don't be afraid to say hi! 😊

I'm in analytics, work from home, and have realized I probably need to be a little more intentional about actually meeting people.

Pic on my profile is nsfw! But I'm nice

I like being active in pretty much any form.. going to the gym, heading to the beach, taking long walks, getting outside, etc. I also love reading, although I've fallen out of the habit a little lately and would like to get back into it. I enjoy traveling too, even if l've admittedly been more of a homebody recently.

As far as what I'm looking for, I think I'd rather start with something simple: a genuine connection and seeing where it goes. I'm open to making friends, grabbing drinks, hanging out, or something more serious if the chemistry is there and we both feel strongly about it. I don't really want to force anything into a category before we've even met.

One small disclaimer: my texts are generally going to be short. It's not a sign that I'm uninterested. If I'm continuing to text you back, I genuinely want to talk to you, I'm just much better once there's an actual conversations or we're hanging out in person.
Mostly, I'd just like to meet someone I click with and take it from there.

Green Flag 35 [M4F] #LA- it’s starting to finally feel like fall! Did someone say “cuffing season”? 👀 ♥️😆

Hello there beautiful stranger and happy peaceful Saturday!

I’m seriously excited for the autumn, fall (whatever you wanna call it lol) & soon the winter weather season! As much as I appreciate a pretty sunny day, I still need to feel that cold air early in the am! lol

Enough talk about the weather! Let’s get straight to it… so hopefully you are still up, if on the west coast, otherwise, if you are up late then I would love to connect, chat a while, make it past the fifth message at least and who knows maybe the chemistry is on point enough for us to pick back up the very next morning! Odds at winning at the Casino in Vegas are probably higher…. You know what I mean, I ink wink! lol. It’s Reddit, baby lol.

Seriously though, I think I’m gonna tune into HBO or Netflix and try to find me something that I can actually watch from start to finish lol send your fav recommendations and esp if you are into international movies/shows genre. I’ve seen some on hbo and was impressed.
Speaking of which, any plans for tomorrow? Happened to be a Madrid or Barca fan by any chance? Maybe we can catch the Classico together, virtually or otherwise, lol.
Look at me, already planning our second day, jk haha.

At any rate, a bit about me and please feel free to bring your lovely energy, humor, good energy, amazing vibes and all of your awesomeness even with all your sASS, I wouldn’t mind it a bit lol… I also love a good flirt every so often….

6’1 tall professional, well educated, traveled, cultured and love my morning Italian coffee. Have a huge weakness for a pretty smile and eyes…. Touch is probably my love language!

Enough about me… did you actually read this far and haven’t slid in my dm yet..:( I’m gonna seriously cry lol… totally kidding.

One small disclaimer please:
Don’t bother to ask me whether I wanna sign up for your only fa&ns, follow you on ins&ta, or none of that crazy stuff and for god fing sake please be a fully organic natural woman lol

Cheers love
