Here are the top ways I’ve discovered to meet quality single people in L.A. without using apps and without hitting up clubs and bars. 1. Volunteer. It’s hard to think of a place where you’d meet a better type of person than at a volunteer event. Tons of great young single people sacrifice their nights and even weekends to volunteer. Here are some organizations to volunteer with: Hope for LA: Has a calendar where you can sign up for volunteer opportunities around L.A. The Compton Initiative: This is a HUGE event that happens every few months. The goal is to beautify parts of the Compton community. Heal the Bay: Has volunteer cleanup events. The Sierra Club Los Angeles: Volunteer to help the environment in Los Angeles. Orange County Sierra Singles: For singles in O.C. Habitat for Humanity: Build houses for the poor. Much Love Animal Rescue: Guys, there are tons of women who volunteer for animal rescue organizations. This is just one of them. They show rescued animals on Main Street in Santa Monica every Sunday. The People Concern: Volunteer to serve meals to the homeless on the West Side Tree People: Caring for trees and nature in Los Angeles. Of course, there are many, many more volunteer organizations, ranging from political, environmental, animal rescue and so forth. Just Google what you’re interested in and you’re bound to find a cause that interests you in L.A. I’ve been impressed at how many young single women are at these volunteer events. At many volunteer events I’ve been to, it’s been mostly single women there. Guys, time to step it up! Not only will you be doing something good for the world, but you could meet someone special. 2. Church / Religious Gatherings. Pacific Crossroads Church. If you think that only your grandma and old people go to church in L.A., think again. Many of today’s churches cater to young people and feel more like rock concerts than church. Here are some churches in L.A. with lots of young people: Vintage Church: This is a church that meets in Santa Monica and the West Side with lots of young professionals. I know lots of single people who go here and they love it. For their events, check out their community Facebook page. Mosaic: Worship in the heart of Hollywood that resembles a rock concert, but with solid preaching. Much of the congregation consists of young singles with a lot of artistic types. Reality LA: Also in Hollywood with lots of young single folks. Pacific Crossroads Church: Highly educated congregation of professionals of all ages. Meets at the Santa Monica High School theater on Sunday mornings. Bel Air Presbyterian Church: Used to have a legendary singles group called The Foundry for singles in their 20s and 30s. That is no more but the church is still there. The Loft LA: Small church in mid-Wilshire consisting of almost all 20’s and 30’s singles. Unconventional services with audience surrounding the preacher. Saddleback Church: Mega-church in Orange County led by Rick Warren. All ages, with a variety of services including one that has modern music. St. Monica Catholic Community: If you’re Catholic, many people have told me that this church in Santa Monica has great events for singles. Renew Church LA: Young, culturally diverse (Asian, African-American, white) congregation meeting at West Los Angeles College in Culver City. Solid teaching and music. Tapestry LA: This hip young church has a mostly Asian-American crowd and is located in a former warehouse in Downtown L.A. Venice Church: Good vibe with modern worship music and practical sermons. Zoe Church: The home church of such celebrities as Chris Pratt, Justin Bieber, Hailey Baldwin, Selena Gomez, and Ashley Benson. Please note that it is hard to meet people by simply going to church on Sundays and leaving afterward. There are just too many people and Sunday service is not conducive to meeting them. Your best bet for meeting people is to join a smaller church group that meets outside of church. There are also wonderful people at synagogues, mosques, and places where people of other religious beliefs meet. 3. Swing, Salsa, Ballroom, or Country Line Dancing. Imagine a room full of single people, and all you have to do is walk up to someone and ask them to dance – no drama or creepiness involved. That’s partner dancing, where people want to ask you to dance, and want to be asked to dance. It’s one of the best ways I’ve found to meet single people of all ages. On a good weekend, Clifton’s has a lot of Swing dancers in the Brookdale ballroom upstairs. Granted, you’ll have to invest some time taking lessons, but actually that’s where you can meet a lot of single people, perhaps easier than actually going dancing at a nightclub! The salsa scene is huge in LA. Check out this calendar of Salsa Events in Los Angeles. For lessons, check out Movers and Shakers dance. There is also a vibrant Tango scene in Los Angeles. I’m personally into Swing dancing, I’ve met tons of wonderful people because of it. The best resource for swing dancing in Los Angeles and Orange County is swingdance.la by yours truly. It has a complete calendar of swing dance events. For lessons, go here. If you embark on this journey, I guarantee you’ll meet lots of single people. Here’s more info on why Swing dancing is a great way to meet single people. West Coast Swing is a variation of Swing dancing that is danced to more modern music (blues, pop). Check out SoCalSwingDance.com. For ballroom, there is Third Street Dance in mid-city near the Beverly Center, Arthur Murray in Sherman Oaks, and the Pasadena Ballroom Dance Association. This might sound crazy, but don’t rule out country line dancing (yes, it exists in L.A.) The most famous place that I know of is Cowboy Country Saloon in Long Beach. There are single people of all ages there and free lessons before the band goes on.
