Places to Hook Up: Bars, Clubs and a Night In
Four places the blog likes for meeting someone, and the knack each one needs.
Four places, four different moves
The four posts under this topic each name a place, and each place asks for a different move.
- Night club
- Bar
- Dog walk
- Your own sofa
A night club is easy ground because everyone is out to enjoy themselves, though what starts on a dance floor rarely lasts beyond a few nights, and the poor lighting can make the morning a surprise. A bar suits whoever simply talks to everyone, since every chat is another chance. A dog walk suits anyone with a dog, because the dog gives strangers a reason to stop and talk. And your own sofa suits a film, with the pick depending on how well you know each other.
The posts date from 2018 to 2022, so a detail or two may have aged. Prefer to start on your phone? The hookups near me page explains how to search closer to home, and our safety tips are worth a read before you meet anyone, whatever the place.
Four posts, newest first
- Hooking up at a night club
April 2022. Everyone is in the mood and the music does the talking, but expect the connection to be brief.
- Your dog will help you hook up, but not your cat
September 2018. A dog on a lead hands you an easy opening line, and a cat hands you an interrupted evening.
- The only thing you need to hook up in a bar
May 2018. Apps are one route, but in a bar the winning move is to chat to everyone.
- The best films to watch to hook up
April 2018. A silly film for the early days, an action film for a regular and an old favourite after that.
Before you head out
The guides cover where to start and how to behave once you have met.
Pick your place, then your person
Start a chat on your phone first, then agree where to meet, whether that is a bar or a night in.
