Sometimes it’s easy and sometimes it’s extremely tough to get out and meet people. It’s an everyday struggle to meet that special someone when you don’t have the time to. Many have made the change to online match making websites, while others still insist on destiny or fate.

For those who are still out looking for singles, either for a quick fling or a meaningful relationship, there are still places in Lubbock that you can go to.

Here are our top five best places to meet singles in the city of Lubbock.

Broadway

It’s hard to say just where to go on Broadway when you’re looking for someone. Broadway, across from Texas Tech on University, is host to more than a few bars for the college scene. Mesquite’s, Cricket’s, Rocky’s and Chimy’s are all within about 50ft of each other with Bar PM and Bash’s not being a far walk from there.

As mentioned, Broadway houses the most attended bars and restaurants for Tech students. If you’re looking for a meaningful relationship, then you probably shouldn’t go to one of these places. If you’re looking for a place to meet fun and ready to mingle singles looking to have a good time, then head down to Broadway.

Depot District


The historic Depot District is that last bar themed location that will be mentioned for meeting singles. Not everyone likes to have drinks when trying to meet people, but many prefer it. The depot district is much like Broadway (mentioned above). The Depot houses numerous bars and live music venues to meet singles or others just wanting to have a good time.

The Depot district does differ though in that you can find a mixed crowd age wise at the bars, restaurants and music venues. The Depot is great for dancing as well. You can two step at Wild West or dance to a rhythmic beat at Klusoz’s to help find people who are wanting to have a good time and cut loose. You may get lucky and find a long lasting relationship with someone from the Depot, but plan on at least having fun whether you find love of any sort.

Church

Don’t head to church just expecting to find the love of your life. Better yet, don’t go to church looking for a significant other at all. Churches in Lubbock can be found on nearly every major street, and with more than a hundred in the Hub City, you can always find one that fits you.

Many of my friends have met at church and have built strong relationships through their faith and belief in a higher calling. They didn’t cruise church though looking for singles that are also in need of companionship; they just happened to meet while worshiping.

Grocery Store:

It all depends on what time you go. If you’re looking for the younger crowd then go late at night, but anytime of the day is great to meet people. You can always point out the single person by looking at what they have in their cart. Look for food that scream “I can’t cook” or mostly liquids in the cart.

It sounds cliché but you can find some great conversation while picking up fruits or standing in line to check out. Don’t be overly eager to want to talk to someone at the store, but be funny, witty or make the other smile to open up the flood gates of conversation. I myself have met some fun people at the grocery store, but it didn’t make for a long lasting relationship.


Texas Tech Football Game

Tailgating is the perfect place to meet singles that are fired up and ready to party. All age groups come together for one cause; to cheer for their Red Raiders. Ease into conversations about then game and then ask the other person about themselves. If that doesn’t work, offer the other a cold adult beverage. That always seems to lighten to mood.
