Dating Scene in Los Angeles


 

Why Love is Back in L.A.'s Air
Move over L.A. smog, because reports show that love is back in L.A.'s air. Needless to say, here in Los Angeles dating has always been a thing to do on week nights and weekends. Singles would go through the typical courting ritual: have dinner, hang out, enjoy a couple of drinks, call it a night, and onward with your single life again. That was the dating scene in LA then, and this is now.

Changing times, back to dating basics
Something's a bit different today, which is that nearly everyone, like you, is going through uncertain times. Justin in Santa Monica explains, "Singles are refocusing on the essentials that makes all of us feel human and alive again."

"It's really no surprise that the dating scene in Los Angeles, CA is hotter than ever right now", says Cathy from Venice Beach. Single people in LA are meeting up more than ever for a chance at love and romance. And it makes sense. During not-so-great economic times, it naturally makes single guys and gals even more down-to-earth than months before, going back to the basics human needs — love, companionship, good conversations, quality time spent together, and intimacy.

     The Bridge Cinema de Lux in Los Angeles, CA
You've heard of "a dinner and a movie date". It's basically a traditional first date. But how about taking it up a notch by having a fine gourmet dinner together while comfortably enjoying the newest chick flick on a state-of-the-art screen?

  

     West Restaurant & Lounge in Los Angeles, CA
Sure, your first date is about setting a great impression. Although you may want yourself to be the only thing in their view all night, a fine restaurant with an amazing 360-degree vista might just be the perfect backdrop for a night to remember.

  

     Mi Piace in Pasadena, CA
Depending on your date's personality, a first date doesn't have to be a Los Angeles dating cliche. For those who believe in classic dates, a dinner and a nice stroll together along Old Town's streets might just be what gets them head over heels.

  

     Vibrato Grill Jazz etc in Bel Air, CA
They say that jazz music is one of the most romantic in the world. When dating in Los Angeles, you add an upbeat and fun atmosphere, throw in an impeccable steak to the mix, and you got yourself an unforgettable night out together.

  

     J Restaurant and Lounge in Los Angeles, CA
Romance is not just about cuddling. Couples need to get out and have fun. If you and your date want to test each other's outgoing side, go have a night out at a posh lounge in Downtown LA. But save this one for a second or third date.

  

     Pizzeria Ortica in Costa Mesa, CA
Okay, this one is Orange County, but it just had to be on this list. If you're looking for an excellent place for a gourmet dinner, but want a more casual setting for you and your date to bond, this might just be the place in the O.C.

  

     Flight Bistro and Social Lounge in Huntington Beach, CA
Another one in non-LA land. But even the name of this place gives it away. The great live music, global cuisine and tapas will let you and your special date loosen up quickly and connect at a deeper level.

Truly happy couples can tell you that in the end, there's no price on love. But ask anyone who actively dated a year ago — it felt like you had to break the bank. Well, great things come to those who waited a bit. Not only has the dating scene in Los Angeles gone on a sudden makeover more geared toward solid love, most popular dating meet-up spots including local Los Angeles restaurants, cafes, and venues have also made it easier on our wallets with their slashing of entree prices and cover charges. Take that for a win-win.

Bottom line: See what's out there
LA's local taxes have gone up, but even Uncle Sam can't tax us for enjoying truly-fulfilling love from another. So, if you've been interested in making your entrance into the all-new promising dating scene in LA, but hesitated before, look up, your stars are finally aligned, and everything's in your favor this time. Go ahead, gas is expensive, but online dating is not. It's always free to see what's out there in your LA area and who is looking for you in the same way you are for them. Whatever you do, remember to have a ton of fun together in LA!
