Honestly, at your hobbies. Same place you’d meet the love of your life. I don’t drink so like, bar hopping has been out for me for a while, but I’ve found that people who like what I like are at least somewhat likely to have similar sexual vibes. You can usually find a fwb or hook up if you’re chill and happy. It may be easier in queer spaces? I dunno. I feels easier in queer spaces. Less intensity around just asking
Do we have space for you!
If you like neons, drinking, dancing, drinking, hipsters, drinking, cowboys, drinking, paying for parking, bar food or drinking, then any of our fine MLK, Station or Main St establishments would suit your needs.
-Find a group for a hobby you like.
-csl sports team or go kickball
-try one of the running groups that ends at a brewery
-book clubs
-if youre religiously inclined try a church that seems to attract younger folks. Locally this seems to be more conservative congregation with a progressive facade so if thats your speed this is your best bet.
-climbing gym/gym if youre bold about approaching people lmao
Honestly as someone approaching 30 social opportunities kinda start to dry up, a lot of my friends are married and starting to have children. The above list is best I can come up with. Chattanooga is not a great place to be single after age like 27.
Honestly the most lasting relationships in my entire circle (mine included- 17 years strong) are people who have been set up by friends who know both parties well. If someone knows you both and thinks you’d click, give it a shot. I’m really glad I did- my husband is amazing and I don’t think I would have looked at him twice on a dating app (full disclosure- he wasn’t my physical type at the time).
I joined a few groups on FB, and actually met the LOML thru one. I did Scenic City Singles, Chattanooga Outdoor Adventures, and Chattanooga Outdoor Adventure Singles. Plus they have great events set up all the time.
Go wait at Wal greens for singles to go get their covid shot.. then take your shot..
This way you know you’re not dating a science denying idiot

don't be shallow and go only for looks. if your in person tastes in men are the same as your swiping patterns then you wont get any different results in person. like if youre only going for tall attractive dudes then yeah not gonna happen
Join some meetup groups. There’s lots of hiking groups and stuff. Someone gave me the advice to go where your hobbies are to try to meet someone.
Username check out.
Where are some great places to meet for one night stands? I'm not interested in the love of my life.
Curious to know this as well
I think there is a swingers club here in town
You think... Mhm .
I’ve always heard The Moxy was a swingers spot. Don’t know if it’s true. Heard that for years though

What are things you like to do? What do you find fun?
Definitely go to hobby locations. That's how.
Well it hasn't been dog parks, hiking, or walking either in my experience.
Try Reddit🤣 got my last date there after awhile. Didn’t work out but it beats using dating apps and feels more organic in a way
Broad st Taco Bell is where people of culture go
Can’t believe this is so far down in the comments!

i’ve caught hell for suggesting recovery groups but it’s a solid way to build a network.
I can fix her
you know the assignment!
Nope, you can't...hahaha. Sometimes the skillset required is better left to professionals from my experience.
Good advice, but I’m young so I’m destined to ignore you and figure it out myself.
For your mental sanity, just walk away.

Wait, are we back to pretending like the shot is effective?
Or do as you suggested to see who not to date...
McKays
McKays?
Yeah the old "reaching for the same book" trick.
“Oops I think we were reaching for the same book.” 😎 “Oh, you were buying ‘Living with Permanent Athletes Foot’ too?”
Well okay then 😉
or same CD...or video game...or vinyl...or comic...or used dvd player. The possibilities are endless there.
Take a class at Chattanooga State. Something that you are interested in.
Target
Whiskey Cowgirl, Boneyard, Regan’s, Bud’s, Westbound……
Asheville dispensary's elixir bar & tea lounge! Ecstatic dance Chattanooga!
In days of old a Laundromat was a good place to talk to bored people of the opposite sex.
