Are you a gay man or woman, looking for love in West Hollywood? You can find love just about anywhere so don’t rule anything out. You don’t have to go anywhere out of the ordinary because West Hollywood is known as the gay center of the greater Los Angeles Area. Santa Monica Boulevard, particularly between Robertson to La Cienega is lined with gay-oriented shops, boutiques, bars, restaurants, and coffeehouses. It’s the hub of the gay dating scene!

Dating is all about putting yourself out there, so don’t be afraid to strike up a conversation with someone you find attractive when you’re going about your regular routine – you just might hit it off! But, if your current routine isn’t conducive to meeting people, make a few minor adjustments and see how it plays out.

Here are 3 simple suggestions:

Make your hobby part of your routine Regardless of what your hobby is – reading, jogging, dancing, gardening, photography or whatever – working it into your regular routine in a group environment through a club or team will give you a chance to socialize with people who share a common interest. Not only do you get to enjoy your hobby on a regular basis, but you will also make new friendships that could lead you to love.

Spend a few extra minutes in the coffee shop before work Next time you’re grabbing your morning coffee before work, take a look around. The busy coffee shop is probably crawling with potential dates. Rather than rushing off to work, sit down with your coffee for a few minutes to read the paper and people watch until someone catches your eye, then make eye-contact and say hi (you already know you share something in common - a coffee addiction). Do your grocery shopping in style Wearing your favorite (but not so flattering) jogging pants and old ratty t-shirt to the grocery store is definitely comfy, but not overly effective at getting glances from other cute shoppers. Do your grocery shopping when you’re on your way home from work. You’ll be dressed to impress and that’s a popular time for other working singles to be at the grocery store picking up food for dinner.

Don’t want to change your routine? If you’d rather not change your regular routine, then just go about your routine as normal but pay attention to your body language – smiling and looking approachable will make it more likely for a special someone to approach you.

Another great way to meet like-minded singles is by joining a gay dating service.
