How is the dating scene in Houston for a pretty woman in her 30s, never married, no kids, and likes to workout/lift weights?

Newly single 27F and already tired of the dating apps. I saw a group in London called Thursday Dating rents out different bars every week for singles to meet “organically” - does anyone know if there’s something similar in Boston?

Almost said the wrong name in bed yesterday; caught it right at the moment - the low-key panic I felt damn 😳

Went on a short coffee date with a person who was nice, but I just don’t think we’re compatible. What’s a kind text I can send to explain, after they said we should see each other again?

Kinda bummed. I’ve been single for 6 years (I’m 31 now). I live in ptown and talk to guys in Boston on tinder. Was talking to a guy for about a week who is my type. I asked if he wanted to FaceTime tonight and he said sure but caveated that he isn’t into long distance (ptown to Boston) and that we would most likely stick to chatting. Idk what’s wrong with me. Everyone tells me I’m a catch but guys I’m attracted to are never into me 😭 just needed to vent
