Hi. I recently moved to NYC. All my friends here are married. As a single woman in NYC (no online dating pls) I want to check out local bars during happy hour, if I get to leave that early that is LoL.
Any thoughts on meeting new people at Happy hour? Is it weird to go alone as a girl? I would love to bring a wingwoman but i got none…
Curious if you guys have any thoughts on this or have any cool tips? Thanks much

Ask for her age first.
May be and may be not. He is probably lurking until he finds out the age. If OP is 18-21, he is going to volunteer to be her new friend.
21 is a bit old for him, isn't it?
Going alone is only as weird as you make it out to be. If I were to strike up a conversation with someone who was happily there alone b/c they happen to enjoy the bar/drink or whatever and wanted to just decompress after work, I wouldn't see anything wrong with that. Better yet, if you just like exploring different bars and such regularly, it's even more normal. Now if the person clearly shows they're self-conscious about being there alone, then it manifests itself
Does meeting a guy on WSO count as online dating for you?
Shooting your shot. I respect it.
Lol tx
LOL did that work for anyone here?
Idk, I’m trying to find out! :) Haha
Can’t help on the thread, but curious why against dating apps..
Quantity over quality…😕
Huh?
just be approachable and friendly & you should be fine. Nothing wrong with meeting new people at bars at all. Will say that IB is on a shortlist for worst industries for dating based on finding a partner that is compatible with ur wlb & lifestyle.
Any advice will depend on how hot you are. How hot are you?
Exactly
I dont know. I notice men are looking at me whenever I am at a bar or wherever I go out, but rarely talk to me. I think I have RBF look? I get too shy and just look away when we have eye contact ROFL
I'm a guy but I got that RBF look too, my friends give me shit for looking too serious all the time. It's either too serious or I look like I forgot to turn the stove off lmao.
Make an effort to smile when you make eye contact. In a city w/ 1mm other good looking girls, I'm taking the one who gives me the RBF look as one who's not gonna be receptive and there are plenty of others I'd be better off shooting a shot w/.
I think it is totally acceptable to do so as long as you follow all guidelines how to stay safe. Not saying that NYC isn't safe, but you know how the world is we live in.
Well, if you do not like dating apps and do not know anyone, you really do not have many options. Try it and see how it goes.

Pizz and Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
need to meet up one day
Their combined horniness will create a supernova
Why? I'm a nice guy
It's not weird, it's a great way to meet new people and make friends.
Thanks guys!
I go alone. But I'm an introvert so I actually enjoy that
WSO doesn’t host happy hour anymore?
Who the fuck would want to meet people from WSO in real life?
what's wrong with it?
No one cares what other people are doing
Its definitely not weird to go out alone but as a women you have no reason to go out to happy hours to specifically meet men unless you enjoy happy hours.
Just subtly show interest in the attractive men that you encounter in your every day life and if their worth their salt they'll pick up on it and ask you out.
Try your local hobby club or pick up sports games?
Just do it with confidence. I’ve gone to fine dining restaurants and bars alone and have been fine. But no one talked to me tho lol rip
