Article: Some apps can be tailored to specific demographics and interests, making it even easier to search for a good match! For the best results, create an open and honest profile with accurate images of yourself. Start with just one app or website and take it slow. If you feel overwhelmed at first, try limiting your online browsing to evening hours.  Be careful about the photos and details you provide on your dating website. Don't provide too many identifying details that could compromise your safety. Try exploring dating websites like Match.com, eHarmony, and ChristianMingle.com. Dating apps like PlentyofFish, Bumble, Happn, and OKCupid are also good options. When meeting people in real life, make sure that you meet in public. Happy hours are popular with people in their 30s, since it's something they can do right after work and still get home at a reasonable time. Find out where there are good late afternoon drink specials near you, and try hitting a different place each week. If someone catches your eye, smile at them and consider buying them a drink as an icebreaker. Skip that dance club full of 20-year-olds, or the dive bar near the university. Instead, go to dinner parties, wine tasting events, gallery openings, and other places that are usually populated by people in your approximate age group. Tailor your conversation to the event if you're looking for conversation starters. For example, if you're at a gallery opening, you can talk about artists you like or recent openings you've attended. These days, a lot of single people are in their 30s. There is a good chance that someone in your social group knows somebody who might be a good fit for you. Meeting people face to face, through mutual friends, can be a great way to connect in a low-key way. You could say, "Do you know if Darrell has any single friends? If so, I'd love it if you'd introduce me." Trying something new can be exciting! It can also provide you with opportunities to connect with potential dates who share similar interests. You never know who you might meet! For example, you could check out a yoga or aerobics class at your gym or take an evening painting class at a community college.
