Rain In The City of Singles.

By: Dan_P @KissSpeedDating

So its back! Our long and mostly disliked friend we've come to known in Vancouver, the rain. And it's only 1 day shy of September! Summer you can say, is officially over! Goodbye tan! Goodbye flip-flops! Goodbye bikinis and swim shorts! Goodbye single watering-holes! 

OK, on the contrast the rain is nice too. It rejuvenates the air, waters our lush greens, and it keeps us from going outdoors and killing our liver and wallets. Rain keeps us indoors and comfortable in our homes with the thermostat cranked up. Days spent watching movies and TV, surfing the web, actually being focused on projects, all while being in your sweats and PJs cuddled with your boyfriend or girlfriend. But wait, you don't have one! There is one major downfall to the rain, it's 100x tougher to meet singles in the city! So what do you do?

You get out there, you get a little wet, you get a little dirty, and find a cuddle-buddy!

If you already have one then kudos to you, since you will be showered with warm goodies over the fall/winter season but for those that don't have one and do want to find someone to be hibernate with, well its time to put in some work. 

So where do you go in the rain? 

Pretty much, you are constricted to anything that involves the outdoors so you have to stick with things that are indoor. Some great places to meet singles on rainy days is at the local library, a book store at the mall, a classroom, coffee & internet shops, the laundromat (not even kidding), chill ambient lounges, and of course, the nightclubs. But don't expect to find a real keeper in the nightclub unless you find that remarkable, 1 in a 1,000,000 gem that is super-rare; like finding a nugget of gold in the Grand Canyon. 

Single people are everywhere but it is a lot tougher to point them out when its horrendous outside. But if you are serious about finding a cuddly-buddy, you need to go out there and mingle and talk to everyone, everywhere. Go to all the parties you are invited to even if you don't want to go, you just don't know who will be there waiting to meet you. Its like the famous Wayne Gretzky quote, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." It applies here, too; you miss 100% of the singles you don't talk to.

So with that said get out there and play in the puddles; someone will always hop in to play with you.
