Here are 15 spots that are great bets for finding available singles over 40 in Tampa:
 |
| 1. Cooking classes. Local cooking classes are a great place to meet recently-divorced singles who might need some help with brushing up their culinary skills. Sidle up to an eligible cooking partner and see just what else might "cook up". |
 |
| 2. The dog park. Borrow a dog from a friend if you have to. Dog people are really friendly, and it's really easy to strike up a conversation while your pups are playing! Ask for a vet recommendation or compliment their pup - you may just get a "play-date" out of it! |
Where To Go:
Davis Island Dog Beach
864 Severn Ave, Tampa, FL 33606
Laid-back, waterfront dog park with grassy areas, sand beach, water fountain and a wash station. There is also a smaller fenced in dog beach area on the other side of the main beach.

The Oxford Exchange
420 W Kennedy Blvd, Tampa, FL 33606
European-inspired space featuring a restaurant, bookstore featuring a surprising selection of books for a local place, plus a coffeehouse & gift shop. Tip: The used bookstore downstairs always has good stuff - so don't miss it!

 |
| 5. The local grocery store. Singles have to eat, and busy singles usually buy food around dinnertime. Sidle up to a cutie wandering through the produce aisles and get a recommendation on how to pick out a ripe tomato/avocado/banana whatever! A bonus... you might find a sweetheart who will cook for you, too! |
Where To Go:
Rollin' Oats
1021 N Macdill Ave, Tampa, FL 33607
