Looking to date a Bostonian? Congratulations on your excellent taste! And the good news is that the dating pool is pretty large in Boston. According to Point2Homes, 57.3% of the Boston population has never married! Still, everyone wants to make a good impression. So, here are some things to bear in mind when dating a Bostonian:
According to the LunchDates website, that's the most popular destination for a first date. It makes sense... it's pretty, free, and convenient to lots of restaurants if you want to extend the date - or to the T if you need to make a quick escape!
A quarter of Bostonians are foreign born, but that doesn’t even account for all the people who came from out-of-state for college or career opportunities. We’ve established that the dating pool is large, but it’s also incredibly diverse.
Specifically, 52.1% of the population is female while 47.9% is male (according to Point2Homes).
If it really comes down to it, many of us choose comfort over style. While a lovely dress or sharp suit look nice, do you really want to snuggle with someone whose hands feel like blocks of ice?
It's the default wardrobe of the indecisive dresser.
Even if you don't plan to watch, suggesting a date at the same time as the big game may not go over well.
No one wants to add to their daily travel time; living close to us, or to our college or workplace, adds to the appeal!
Given the number of students in Boston, your educational background is likely to be a topic of conversation. It's a great way to find common ground.
The exceptions are weather and traffic. We enjoy complaining about those. It's also an easy icebreaker.
There you have it! Dating in Boston can be tons of fun – even if you don’t find that special someone, you will absolutely meet some fantastic people and make new friends along the way. We hope these handy tips help out on your first date (and hopefully many more to come)!
