Can anyone comment on the Nashville dating scene? I am newly transplanted but a little confused by what's going on here

My recommendation- walk into the Bruger’s Bagels in Belle Meade Saturday morning. That’s where all the prospects hang out with their parents after hiking/horseback riding in Percy Warner.
Start with the mom - chat her up and get her to like you. Impress the dad with your fancy job in finance/ consulting/ whatever. After that, get their daughter’s number.
Congrats- you have just scored a lifetime of fancy vacations, dinner parties, tickets to the swan ball, and a circle of elite old nashvillians

This isn’t bad advice. Well done.

Too many colleges, transplants and tourists make the scene tricky

Depends. If you’re interested in women, there’s a sea of them. Men? Good luck. There’s less of them and many seem to enjoy playing the field

Confused how?

Yeah a lot of people got married young. A lot of people are on vacation or just here temporarily so that’s tough too.

I think there’s a lot of tourists, college kids, and influencer types here but having said that there are some really good people here. I’ve been here for two years and have found a great guy who’s actually in the music industry which is also really common here. I’d try and meet people in East Nashville, Wedgwood Houston, 12 south, sylvan park, or German town. Stay away from Broadway and midtown because that’s where all the party animals and tourists go, not the most ideal partners looking for anything serious.

Lol good luck

Using the apps here is crazier than other cities I’ve been in. Here, you are either dealing with tourists (hit or miss short term fun), dealing with born and raised Tennesseans (hit or miss upset about your being a transplant), or dealing with a transplant (hit or miss on reasons for transplant). All in all, lots of interesting first dates. Few second dates. But lots of fun, good for gathering stories.

Go hang out in Franklin or Green Hills. Stay away from downtowns.

Worst advice yet

It’s tough, but I’m sure there are people out there. A lot of nurses here in Nashville, always working. Lots of college kids. Everyone goes to bars and broadway..

For me it was great 😊 I found my now husband thru a dating app.

I am getting so many mixed signals from a guy I am dating. We have been dating for about 2 months; the last date we went on, he told me how I was beautiful inside and out, how he loved my eyes, how the first time we met he couldn’t wait to kiss me, he was asking me if I was still dating other people or not, and even went out of his way to drive me home (like an hour drive). But then he mentioned during the night how he didn’t want to ‘lose me’ if we didn’t end up together- that he didn’t want to

I get matches on dating apps and I never feel like responding. On Hinge for example, I send a like with a message for their prompt. They send back a message and I just look and it and let it sit there. Idk what’s wrong with me. I want to go on dates but thinking about the whole “talk phase” is really off putting. I met up with someone on the apps a year ago and became friends for a while before I ended it because I was overwhelmed with life. I don’t want to redo this again. Dating is so hard 🥹
