Happy Fourth of July Singles in Levittown

                                            Happy fourth of July singles in Levittown

By Maureen Tara Nelson, Private Matchmaker, singles columnist, and dating coach.

I’m always asked, "Is summer time the easiest time of year to meet people?" Yes it is.  More people are out and about in the summer months, thus giving us more opportunities to meet people.  There are also many more exciting things to do with the nice weather upon us.  Here are some fun examples of how single people can try to meet other single people in the summer:

Join a beach volleyball league.  You don’t even have to be good at the sport.  Many leagues have all different levels of experience.  Usually the costs are also very reasonable.  Even if you don’t meet your soul mate, at least you’ll be outside, enjoying the fresh air and getting exercise.  You might even meet a bunch of new friends, and then you’ll meet their friends.  You get the point!

Walking the Jones Beach #6 board walk.  I see many singles there each weekend, as I am there myself enjoying the exercise and atmosphere.  

Join a cooking class.  Cooking is “hot” this season.  If you don’t know how to prepare an exotic meal, now is the perfect time to learn.  Many singles enjoy learning how to cook.

Ballroom dancing lessons.  This is a perfect place to meet singles, any time of the year.

Have a outdoor party at your house and ask each of your friends to bring “one single friend.”  This is becoming a popular way for singles to meet.  

Make sure you take the time this summer to get yourself “out there” and meet new people.  Happy Fourth of July! From your Long Island Matchmaker, Maureen Tara Nelson.
