Dating in Tampa, FL: More Singles Over the age of 40 than any other U.S. City

By Valentina Russian - May 20, 2019



The dating scene in the Tampa Bay area seems to be buzzing these days as the city attracts more and more people relocating to the City by the Bay from all over the nation every single day. 

According to recent population estimates, 35.8% of the population in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater area is single, making the region the 18th-most “single” metropolitan area in the United States. 

While much of the dating focus these days seems to be geared toward younger singles, Tampa has more singles over the age of 40 than any other U.S. city, according to Census data. But what good is a city of 4 million people if none of them meet your standards?

As a Floridian, every time a new headline like “Florida Man escapes adult novelty store with $300 Jenna Jameson doll in tow.” is released, I cringe a little inside and wonder what the odds could be of meeting a sane person in this crazy place. But, fear not, Florida Man or Florida Woman: there are plenty of fish in the sea in South Tampa, as long as you know where to look!

Free memberships to dating apps like Tinder and Bumble may sound like a good idea, but usually you'll find nothing but potential mates who are only looking for random hook-ups. Signing up for a subscription and spending $20, $30, or $40 a month on dating sites like Match.com may help eliminate those unwanted messages from unwelcome admirers. 


But, if you’re a business professional with a healthy social calendar, then you probably don’t have a lot of extra time to waste on dating sites. Online dating sites will have you wading through a dating pool that doesn’t match your standards or what you deserve. Stop wasting your time looking for love in the wrong places! Take the stress out of dating and try registering with a local matchmaking service, who are always looking for stellar candidates for their current and future clients. An elite matchmaker’s clients tend to be of impressive caliber. Matchmakers attract executives, professionals, and people who are a good catch as their clients. They screen their applicants, conduct extensive interviews, perform background checks, and they only take on clients who are up to caliber. In other words, they work with the types of prospects who you’re amazed are still single.

When it comes to dating, many Tampa Bay area singles are skipping the Internet altogether and looking to meet new people the “old-fashioned” way: in person. Check out our list of Top 15 Places to Meeting Singles Over 40 In Tampa Bay for some hot-spots for meeting some eligible singles.
