Is dating in Reno actually a "hellscape"?
If you are tired of the endless swiping and expensive dating apps, you aren't alone.
In this week’s Ask-Reno *Hot Topic*, we unpack why so many locals feel like finding a serious connection in the Biggest Little City is feeling more and more abysmal. We dive into the community's new favorite alternative: in-person speed dating! We break down the buzz around *Flagged & Fated* events, what it’s actually like to do 3-minute rapid-fire dates at places like Lead Dog Brewing and the local cat cafe, and whether the $50 ticket is worth the exhaustion. Plus, we share tried-and-true advice straight from Reno locals on how to organically meet your person, including:
Why ski resort bars and casinos are the wrong places to look.
The power of joining Meetup.com groups for hiking, adventures, and board games.
Why simple changes, like smiling and making eye contact at the grocery store, can change your dating life.
Casting a wide net, saying "yes" to local events, and then letting go of the pressure.
