Is it just me or is the dating scene in Charlotte rough right now? The apps seem to be a constant dead end and it's hard to make small talk with random people at random bars. Where do people in their 30s & 40s go to make new connections in the area?

People complaining about the dating pool are usually the problem. There are sooo many interesting , wonderful people to meet. If you’re not meeting them you need to take a hard look at yourself. I’m 48 and dating has been an absolute blast.

Charlotte isn’t the issue. It’s your age. Just naturally harder to connect and build relationships as you get older

Only riff raff left at our age. Or introverts who aren’t on the apps or at bars.

That's harsh

Met my husband through Hinge a few years ago in my early 30s. It can work! He was in South End and I was in LKN. Consider opening up parameters for distance. That might help!

Mr director! Or Ms whatever the caseay be. You appear to have stable employment, and I do not. But I have skill in dating apps like Conan and his doctor when they appeared on Hot Ones. By chance does your organization have an assistant position avail for someone from Ohio to relocate?

Wtf?

Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that. On the flip side there are the ones that were never married, which by this age cont
