Just in time for the Holidays!
You are probably wondering, hrmm…where are the best places to meet singles this holiday season? While we are not experts at social gatherings, we have a few pointers to get you started
- Church If a Higher Power is a requirement for you, why not look for someone with the same beliefs?
- Everyone’s gotta eat, right? Check out who’s buying the same food and talk ‘em up. Or better yet, find someone purchasing something you don’t know about and ask them how to cook/prepare it.
- Organize an event. Post some flyers around the base announcing a caravan to a local club or historic place. As crazy as it sounds, this actually works. Single people are social
- History buff? There are plenty of things on any base that’ll help you find someone interested in the same. Many bases have museums.
- Do you like a certain TV show? Don’t watch it in your room, instead go find a common area and see who’s watching the same show. If no one, that’s cool. Sit and watch. Someone else may be doing the same thing.
- MWR. Check out the MWR opportunities at the base. There are a lot of things to do – golfing, Frisbee golf, canoe rental, waffle ball and more.
- Shooting range. Interested in guns? What are the chances someone else whose interested in them will be there?
- Bowling Alley. Surely there are some single babes/dudes passing the time (and releasing some aggression) by throwing a heavy ball at non-moving objects. Join in and you may just get a strike.
- Laundromat. With not a lot else to do, many active duty are simply doing chores and other things they need to get finished. What better place to strike up a conversation than over a bottle of Tide?
- And best of all online! If you prefer to stay within the comfort of your fireplace and warm blankets, then online dating sites is the way to go. With the advent of the Internet, there’s no better place to find people on your own base than online. Sites like MilitaryDatingOnline.com specialize in categorizing its members by base and location, as well as likes and dislikes. These sites are becoming more and more popular because members can flirt with each other on their time, and they can upload flirty videos to attract the opposite sex.
Think our list is incomplete? Let us in on some of your best places to meet singles!
P.S. When dating online, posting a photo greatly increases the odds of meeting that special someone!

I like the laundromat. Guys usually in their T’s while washing everything else. Great place to hang
