Valentine’s Day for singles is never an easy day to go through. Whether you just never found the right one or you’re just not ready to go into a new relationship, Valentine’s Day seems to magnify the fact that you’ll be spending Valentine’s day alone. So in this article, we’ve decided to help you, singles out there, to learn new ways to meet new people and possibly find a date this Valentine’s day.

Why not try being active at your Church or be a volunteer?

If you are looking for a partner who shares the same spiritual views, why not be active in your Church or be a volunteer in different NGOs. Meeting someone who has a personal relationship with God or volunteers to help the less fortunate says a lot about the person’s morale and character. If you are not sure where to start, you can visit this site to find organizations looking for volunteers.

Have you tried enrolling in workshops and classes?

So another way to meet new people that share the same interest as yours is to enroll yourself in different workshops or classes. It can be in the gym, dance class, boxing, and even Zumba class! You would think you will never meet a guy in a Zumba class as most of its attendees are moms right? But remember that they could have sons they want you to meet! So don’t limit yourself to classes where the majority are of the opposite gender just to make sure you meet new prospects. Just do what you love and you’re sure to find someone who shares the same hobby.

Have you tried downloading mobile dating app?

If gaming just isn’t your thing then downloading a mobile dating app is another option. It’s basically an app that helps you meet new people who are interested in you. The most popular apps are Tinder, Coffee Meets Bagel, Meet Me, and Grindr. The great thing about this option is that you are more likely to meet someone from a different country so it really gives you a lot of option.

Just remember to not trust someone too fast. Always take the time to know them and meet them first before things get any serious. You can also add them on Facebook so you can check if this person is who they says they are.

Are you open to speed dating events?

The idea of speed dating events is meeting a new people within a few hours. The usual setting for this event is women are seated in designated chairs and each man will seat across every woman to get to know them. Normally this is done orderly by forming a circle and giving a specific time for each pair. When the time is up, every man needs to move to the next lady until everyone has met everybody.

If this is something that would interest you, here are speed dating events coming soon this 2018:

• Captain Joe’s Bar & Restaurant
• The Studio Makati
• Just Maybe: A Speed Dating Event
• Love at First Sit Speed Dating
• Singles Events Manila
• Eat. Play. Love (Speed Dating and Fund Raising event)

Have you tried playing online games?

Now don’t get me wrong. I know many of you would say “I’m too old for that” but there is more to online gaming than you think. Most of you believe that online gaming is for kids or teens so all the people you will meet there will either be too young for you or too immature for a relationship. That’s not what online gaming is all about. This option is actually an ideal option to those who are known as “torpe”.

Online gaming is like meeting new people who have the same interest as yours. There are so many online games today so you’d definitely find one that you enjoy playing. And as opposed to what most people think, there are a lot of gamers who are past the age of 30 that are successful in their careers and plays during their free time. So don’t think that all you’ll meet there are people with no future and all they think about is gaming.

Just remember to take your time in getting to know all the players you meet. Don’t rush into a relationship with the first person you meet or have met in real life. Get to know them first, start as friends and see where it goes in the future. If you meet someone that lied about their age, civil status, or sent a different photo, that’s a warning not to trust that person.

Sites where you can look for online games using a PC are:

• Steam
• Origin
• Garena
• Mstar and Highstreet 5 (If this is your first time playing, I recommend this option)

Games to search in an app store using a Smartphones are:

• Love Dance, Super Dancer and Dance on Mobile (for first timers)
• Any MMO (massively multiplayer online) games

Finding the right person for you doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, effort and even chemistry. So should you consider any of the methods mentioned in this article, always keep in mind to be careful and never rush. It is crucial to get to know the person first which most of the time takes months or even years. But the wait will all be worth it when you know you met someone you really love and loves you back.
