Dating : Newly Single, looking to meet women volunteering. Anyone have good experience with this?
Hey Everyone,
I am recently single and am trying to stay away from dating apps if I can. Before now I mostly met women through friends or activities, however coming out of Covid most of my friends have settled down and are having kids (I am 34). This leaves me kind of on an island trying to find a partner.
I have volunteered to work at the animal shelter (this interests me anyways as I love dogs). My other interests volunteering would probably be habitat for humanity and food bank.
Has anyone tried volunteering for these types of groups and had any luck meeting single women in my age bracket?
Any other tips on where to go?
Thanks.
I’ve spent the last couple years volunteering at a food bank or a local community garden. I do enjoy the work, but it does not seem useful for meeting single women.
I volunteer and meet a ton of intelligent, wonderful, attractive women…
that are 9.5/10 times already married.
no joke, I turned it into a game. I volunteered for a meal packing service (was WAY funner than it sounds) where we would pack meals and listen to music, make a game out of it, banter, drop of the food at hospitals and frequently grab drinks afterwards.
there was a huge rotation of people through it – new ones every week.
I’m not joking that whenever I met a great women she already taken – literally I started keeping track for fun. at the end of a year helping with the program (and packing 7,000 meals MYSELF), I met probably 200 women around my age. I’d say around 10 were single.
not even joking.
I am a single woman in my thirties that volunteers at a local park and have only really met seniors. Still hoping a date closer to my age group is still on the market as a bonus to the volunteering someday.
35f—if you’re active, you might try something like a local run club or other meet up group, they tend to have a lot of folks our age and often will get beers after or have social events.
At the very least, even if you are not lucky enough to find somebody, you’ve made your community a slightly better place.
I love this. I would love to meet someone volunteering but it does seem somewhat unlikely to meet someone that is both single and I find attractive in this way. I make my passion for volunteering and especially for animals clear on my dating app profile though. lol
