How to Meet and Connect With Singles in Person

September 16, 2026

I'll say this upfront because I think it matters: I am a HUGE advocate for online dating. I met my husband online. They work. I'm proof. But I also get the idea of online dating app fatigue. I hear you... swiping until your thumb goes numb doesn't feel like romance. But here's what I've learned coaching singles for years: online dating and in-person connection aren't competing strategies. They're teammates. Apps are great for expanding your pool of options.

I've been there, sat across from someone who checked every box on paper, felt that amazing attraction, and completely ignored the red flags waving right in front of my face. I've found myself confused about why I could achieve so much in my career, yet when it came to love, I was completely clueless.
