Single in Vancouver? If you find it difficult to meet someone and find it difficult to date, you are not alone. Vancouver is partially populated with single men and women who complain separately, but somehow need to congregate together. Throughout the Single in Vancouver series, I have attempted to uncover why this city has a bad name when it comes to dating. I’ve gone out to local bars, I’ve sat in coffee shops creeping with a note book, I’ve asked men uncomfortable questions, I’ve angered many women, but, most importantly, I’ve been living proof that being single in this city is anything but easy.

After numerous nights out, realizations, discoveries and articles, I am finally able to tell Vancouver the 10 best ways or spots to meet singles. Drum roll please….

10. Online Dating

With pros and cons, online dating comes in at number ten. For those Vancouverites too busy to go out in search of love, the option of surfing online for love proves to be helpful. Online dating provides you with an introduction to the world of single people – terrible profiles aside, online dating can lead to a relationship.

9. Bar Trivia

Trivia and alcohol come in at number nine. Sometimes the easiest way to meet is while drunk losing a game of trivia…. Other times you end up home, alone, and realize you suck at guessing random facts.

8. School

When you are busy with school it’s rare that you have time to go mingle and meet your match, so why not say hi to the next attractive person you see in the coffee line also dreading their next lecture.

7. Yaletown Brewing Co.

It’s all about the beer and atmosphere in my opinion. YTB has it all: location, great food, amazing beer, a positive vibe and most importantly, attractive singles.

6. Lamplighter

Coming in at number six, Lamplighter fills to max capacity for good reason – I guess you’ll have to go to find out.

5. Hockey Games

Whether you have tickets to the game or you hit a local pub to cheer on the team, game nights are filled with Canucks T’s, beer and rowdy fans…. the recipe for a pick up.

4. The Roxy

If you’ve been of age, living in Vancouver for some time, you know all about the Roxy. Known as a “pickup spot” here in Van, it attracts the singles because it’s always a good time.

3. Grocery Stores

Believe it or not, the grocery store may be your best bet at meeting someone in a sober, natural setting.

2. Fortune

Where the Hipsters congregate, Fortune comes in at number two. With the best sound system in the city, art covered walls, the ability to dress up or down and the good looking patrons, it’s no surprise Fortune ranked in at second place.

1. Coffee Shops

You stop by every morning for a wake up, you grab a pick me up on your break, maybe you bring a text book or bring your laptop to catch up on work; Meeting at a coffee shop is the story you want to tell your future children. There’s no alcohol influence, no rude men whistling as you walk by, no pressure at all. It’s up to you to approach and I suggest you make that move the next time you lay eyes on someone that distracts you from your latte.

It will come as no surprise to grey nomads who are used to coming across female solo travellers in our caravan parks and camping grounds to learn that Australian women have been found to be among the most independent in the world.

The global Women’s Travel Survey commissioned by TripAdvisor revealed that a massive 81% of Aussie females were planning to travel solo this year. That number is almost 20% higher than women from the US.

The survey polled over 1,800 Australian women and found a 10% increase in those who planned to travel alone this year when compared to last. Some 47% of Australian women are planning two to four solo trips this year.

Although the survey went across all age groups, there is no doubt that solo grey nomads are well represented out on the road.

“Baby boomer women are an adventurous generation – and gender roles changed dramati­cally over their lifetime,” Professor Jo Lindsay, said the President of The Australian Sociological Association. “I find it quite inspiring that older women are taking these opportunities to travel and meet people.”

Women who may have been widowed or divorced are among those hitting the open road.

“What we find is that often people will pack up and leave after a tremendous upheaval in their life,” said university sociology lecturer, Dr Nick Osbaldiston. “It’s like a quest to find something else, to pursue a new challenge, and to follow that romantic dream.”

Jennie M is in her 70s but had no reserva­tions setting off on the Big Lap alone, and says that if solos are friendly and outgoing, most travellers will respond in the same way.

“The only thing I miss is someone to share some of the journeys and sights with,” she said. “But they’d have to be in their own rig as I have no intention of sharing mine … I enjoy ‘me time’ too much to share!”

The TripAdvisor survey found that the main reason Australian women travelled alone was because it gave them the freedom of doing whatever they want, with 35% liking the independence and challenge of travelling on their own.
