The Best Places to Meet Single Women in Dayton, Ohio

The city of Dayton is the sixth-largest city in the state of Ohio, as well as the seat of Montgomery County. It is also Ohio's fourth-largest metropolitan area (surpassed only by Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus) and it is the 63rd-largest in the entire United States.

The city is a logistical hive for manufacturers, suppliers, and shippers. Dayton also hosts significant research and development in fields like industrial, aeronautical, and astronautical-engineering, which has led to a wide variety of technological innovations. Much of this innovation is easily accredited to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and its place within the community. Speaking of innovation, in 2008, 2009, and 2010 respectively, Site Selection Magazine ranked Dayton the number one mid-sized metropolitan area in the nation, with regards to economic development. It was also named one of the best places in the United States for college graduates to find a job, which is a clear indicator of the younger median age.

But Denver hasn’t just been notable of late; rather the city has enjoyed an image of prestige, intuitiveness, and patriotism for quite some time. This is easily noted in the National Museum of the US Air Force, which hosts many events to relate the history of the United States Air Force. Indoor and outdoor events range from exhibit openings, flying events, and aircraft roll-outs, to ceremonies, reunion groups, and guest lectures. This could be a wonderful place to meet single women you could potentially date, or maybe even a woman you could end up marrying.

Another spot you should check out is The Dayton Art Institute. This institute, showcasing a permanent collection containing more than 26,000 objects, spans over five-thousand years of art-history. They have galleries devoted to African Art, Oceanic Art, Pre-Columbian Art, and Native American Art. It’s not only the abundance of historic artworks that are worth gawking at; as the museum is divided into three main wings (each more magnificent than the last). The Berry Wing of European Art, the Dicke Wing of American Art and the Patterson/Kettering Wing of Asian Art are all prime locations to meet and mingle with fellow art loving single women. If you are artistically inclined yourself, then you've already got the perfect conversation starter.  If you manage to connect with one of a woman at the museum, you might consider asking herto join you for coffee, as a way to prolong the interaction and get to know her better. The museum has a cafe right on the premises, so it wouldn't be a very long walk at all.

Speaking of coffee, if you’re a fan of specialty brews, you definitely need to check out the 3rd Perk Coffeehouse, located on 46 W 5th Street. This is the ideal destination if you have a love for lattes. Everyone’s heard of the infamous pumpkin spice latte, right? But what about a pumpkin pie latte? The Perky Pumpkin from 3rd Perk Coffeehouse uses a pumpkin pie flavored Ghirardelli sauce. The outcome is a rich and decadent latte with a sweet, yet spicy flavor. If you happen to spot an attractive woman of interest at one of the communal tables, why not go ahead and offer to buy her a cup. One of those delicious specialty drinks would be quite hard to resist, after all.

When you leave the cafe, you might feel the need to walk off some of that sugar. If that’s the case, why not lace up those jogging shoes, shrug on a workout T-shirt, and hit the Beavercreek Community Park? A park lush with greenery, this is a place loved by many bikers, joggers, walkers, and photographers. The park has a nice pond to walk around, or you could just sit and enjoy the view.

Towards the end of July, you should make time to visit the Dayton Celtic Festival. This is an annual event held in another of Dayton's outdoor spaces; Riverscape Metropark. This is a good option for anyone with a fascination in Celtic culture, or anyone who simply enjoys festivals, socializing, and meeting new people. This festival has many different events to choose from. You could listen to a live performance of Celtic music, watch some Celtic dancing, eat some traditional Celtic food, attend a whiskey tasting, watch or take part in a race, and so much more. This is a lively and lighthearted atmosphere and it would provide quite a memorable setting for a future how-we-met story. You could run into women who love music, good food and fine wine!

Another cultural festival sure to bring out crowds of interesting people is the Dayton Greek Festival. This nearly sixty-year-old festival takes place the weekend after Labor Day each year. The attractions include Greek dancing and other exhibits of Greek culture, traditional Greek food, and cooking demonstrations. If you taste something particularly delicious, you might have the opportunity to learn how to make it for yourself. You could even put those new skills to work for a future date with a beautiful woman. This is a great option for anyone of Greek heritage, or anyone who enjoys food, dancing, and an overall festive atmosphere.

Then again, you could always stick with the classic method of meeting other singles in a local bar. Oscar's Bar and Grille is one location where you could give this a try. This spot has drinks, dancing, live music, and karaoke. There's definitely more than enough going on at this venue to draw a crowd and keep you, and any women you could date, entertained throughout the evening.

Another place to try is Wings Sports Bar and Grille. This is a place with a pub feel. It is vibrant, but also relaxed. They have live music performances quite often. They also have TV sets to watch all of the big games, and pool tables and darts. If you're able to strike up a chat with an intriguing woman, and you think that there may be some chemistry between the two of you, consider challenging her to a game or two. This is a way to keep the conversation going. It's also just a way to have fun! There's no reason that dating shouldn't be an enjoyable experience. Some of the other popular bars in the area include Airway Billards Bar and Grill, Dublin Pub, and Timothy's Bar.
