- A popular place to search for singles is the Glass City Single Dance Parties on an event night. On special occasions, such as Valentine's Day, hundreds of singles flock to the central Toledo venue. Occasionally, well-known DJs and bands are in charge of the night's music repertoire. Apart from dance parties, Glass City also organizes singles' dining events, as well as speed dating sessions, so even if you're not an avid dancer, there is always a way to search for your soul mate.
- Many relationships begin with a conversation over two drinks on a bar, or with a dance in a nightclub. Dress up, call a couple of friends and hit the road. Many bars and nightclubs are close to Maumee River, with Frankie's Inner City, by the River East Plaza Shopping Center, being one of the most popular among late teenagers and young adults. Across the river to the north, Murphy's Place Jazz Club, next to Promenade Park, offers a more relaxed atmosphere for a cozy conversation, while the Babylon Club is a vibrant dance club.
- Meeting people with the same interests is the key to finding your match, so sign up as a member or volunteer of a non-profit organization. From the American Red Cross of Greater Toledo Area to Arts Council Lake Erie West and the Birmingham Branch Library, there are numerous options to fit all individual interests. Of course, these are not dating agencies; you have to be genuinely interested in being involved. They are places to socialize and come in contact with similarly-minded people of the opposite sex.
- A sports event can be an opportunity for interesting accidental meetings. Toledo basketball, baseball, women's soccer and tennis matches are a first-class opportunity for an informal conversation with others among the crowd. Book a ticket for the next fixture (see "Resources"), arm yourself with confidence and enjoy both the show and meeting new people.
