Elite singles in Dallas want to know how to find love — but often say they feel pretty hopeless about their prospects. They’re convinced they’ve met every single in the city and all “the good ones” have been snatched up. But in fact, a 2022 study ranked Dallas as the 10th best city for dating. Participants gave Dallas a high dating satisfaction score primarily because the city boasts a wide variety of things to do. From exploring the gorgeous botanical gardens and arboretum to cheering on the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium or catching a show at the House of Blues, you’ll never be hard pressed for date night ideas and experiences.
Clearly, Dallas isn’t a bad city to live in if you’re still not partnered up. So, why are you still struggling to find love? At the risk of sounding harsh, the city itself probably isn’t your problem, no matter how much you’d like to shift the blame. Instead, it might be something you’re doing — or not doing.
Just follow these three simple steps and you’re on track to fall head over heels.
Shake things up.
If you’re going to the same places, with the same people, on the same days at the same times, you’re putting yourself at a huge disadvantage to meet someone. So, if your social life consists of happy hour at a local cocktail bar every Friday, try something new. Bring your pup to a dog park on a Sunday afternoon, hit up a sip and paint class on a Thursday after work, or join a running club that meets on Tuesday nights. Start shopping at a different grocery store, or going to a different coffee shop for your morning brew. By exposing yourself to new environments, activities, and people, you’ll have a much better chance of meeting people who have shared interests.
Be open-minded.
One of the top ways I see Dallas singles sabotaging their own dating lives is by maintaining rigid, unrealistic expectations. Only dating women who have blonde hair, or men who are over 6 feet tall, will absolutely prevent you from finding love. “The One” could be right under your nose, but you write them off before even have the chance to see it. So, take a step back and revisit your list of “must-haves.” Go through each item one by one, and ask yourself: is this a need or a want? Then challenge yourself to go on dates with people who may not be your traditional “type.” They may just surprise you.
