There is some truth to the old adage, “you’ll find love in all the wrong places.” However, you should also not be a recluse and wait for your soul mate to suddenly appear.
Consider going out to new places like a library instead of a bar. The library is a quieter atmosphere and you can meet people who appreciate reading.
Big Sur
Big Sur is one of the most stunning and romantic places to visit in California. This beautiful region features gorgeous beaches, soaring cliffs, and towering redwoods. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful picnic with your loved one. There are plenty of secluded spots in Big Sur where you can enjoy breathtaking views without being disturbed by other tourists.
There are many things to do in Big Sur, but some of the highlights include visiting Pfeiffer Beach and walking the Bird Island Trail. You should also check out the Henry Miller Library, which is a non-profit book shop and performance space. If you’re looking for something more adventurous, try hiking the Salmon Creek Falls Trail!
Big Sur is a scenic 93-mile stretch of coastline on Highway 1 between Hearst Castle and Carmel. It’s a must-visit for anyone who loves road trips and natural beauty. The soaring cliffs and rocky beaches will take your breath away.
Paris
With its cobblestone streets and aesthetic cafes, Paris is a city of romance that is the perfect place to find love. Couples from all over the world come to Paris to celebrate their own special moments, whether it be a proposal, engagement photos or an undying declaration of love.
One of the most obvious places to seek love is the Eiffel Tower. This iconic structure lures couples from all over the globe, and it is no wonder that 7,000-10,000 proposals take place here each year. If you want to avoid the crowds, visit the Trocadero Gardens, where you can enjoy a full view of the tower and find peace and quiet with a loved one.
Another beautiful romantic spot is the Pere Lachaise Cemetery. While many may find it morbid, this is a serene and beautiful part of the city where you can walk amongst elaborate tombstones including Honore de Balzac and Oscar Wilde. It is also home to the Wall for Peace, a sculptural work with “Peace” written in 32 different languages.
Santorini
Santorini’s iconic cliffside views and quaint villages are enough to make anyone fall in love. But this popular island is also known for its incredible cuisine. The best way to discover the unique flavors of the island is by booking a romantic dinner at one of the many upscale restaurants or taverns that overlook the island’s breathtaking Caldera.
The main town of Fira is a must-visit for everyone who loves to take pictures of the famous Three Bells Church of Santorini and the surrounding vistas. The church is a crowd-pleaser because of its blue dome, three bells, and stunning location.
Santorini is an extremely popular destination for travelers, so expect the crowded streets to be busy with tourists brushing shoulders and shuffling between narrow streets. Consider staying in Imerovigli or Pyrgos instead of the more popular and pricier hotels on the island’s caldera to experience some peace and quiet.
New York City
The Big Apple is a place where everyone is on their A-game. It is a fast-paced city and if you walk too slowly, are indecisive or do not seem to have a drive – people will run you over.
The same goes for dating – it is an active sport here. You will need to put yourself out there, dress with purpose and practice body language, vocal intonation, eye contact and more. If you do not, you will find yourself single and frustrated in NYC.
Alexis Wolfe, founder of NYCDateNite, a food and restaurant dating blog in New York City, knows firsthand how tough it can be to date in New York City. She suggests that you treat each date as a learning opportunity and to not take yourself too seriously. If you do, you will be able to keep your options open and avoid dating burnout. It is also important to know that people here are often in a revolving door of relationships, either because they cannot sustain the energy, want to move out of the city or simply are looking for something real.
