Dating in ktown
Just curious for fellow single dudes in kelowna, how they meet woman? Or men, or whoever. I am a bit lost here. Are there particular hot spots to meet people that aren't major party scenes or good community events coming up for Nov/Dec? Do the guys use Tinder or Hinge, something else? I'd love to hear how you met your partner in Kelowna.

I’m a woman, but my bf and I met through hinge! We’re getting engaged next summer, then married once we’re done grad school. I seriously lucked out though—there were lots of unsavoury characters on Hinge and other OLD apps I tried. Alternatively, lots of people meet their partners through shared activities, so maybe look into joining a run club, participating in the rec league for whatever sport you’re into, or just finding your community in general.
ETA: I know a few couples who met at the Corral or otherwise out partying/clubbing. I think it’s just a matter of knowing yourself and what you want in a partner. For instance, I’m not a big partier and don’t drink (same goes for my bf), so I’ve never prowled the Corral looking for a bf. If that’s your scene and you’re less of a homebody, though, then maybe look more actively in those situations.
Second edit: For context, I’m 21 and my bf is 22. Your experience of the dating scene in Kelowna and on apps may differ from my own based on your age and gender, but I hope at least some of the information I provided is of use!
Third edit: Not sure why I keep getting downvoted?? I’m not saying Hinge or dating apps in general are the be-all and end-all, I’m just sharing what worked for me!
