Best places to find a music lover to date?

[Jaykay99199]

I know the best place to find a music lover would be dating sites, like vinylly, that's specifically made for people who love music and want to find someone with the same taste. But, I don't really like making dating profiles, and I especially hate taking pictures of myself. I was curious if there are places that wouldn't be a waste of time or money to meet someone at like a record store, concert, or maybe join a community?

Here are some ideas for places you could potentially meet a music lover to date without relying on apps/sites:

- Local record stores - Browse the new releases section and strike up a conversation if you see someone with a similar taste in genres. Staff may also be able to recommend in-store events.

- Live music venues - Check the event calendar for shows in your area and go alone or with friends. Be open and friendly if you click with someone at the show.

- Instrument/music stores - Browsing pedals, guitars, drums etc is a great convo starter if someone notices what you're looking at. Staff may know of local bands too.

- Open mic nights - Whether poetry, comedy or music, these cultivate a cool vibe to socialize. Sign up to perform yourself if you're artistic.

- College radio stations - Many have volunteer DJ positions and host parties. Get involved on or off-air to expand your circle.

- Band promotion social media - Follow local acts you dig and interact with their supporters. Meetups may form.

The key is putting yourself out there in fun musical environments rather than just expecting to find someone. Shared interests make it easier to connect if you're willing to put in some initial effort!
