Follow her on Twitter. They were supposed to meet at the hostess stand. You Could Be Next..... Details: Every Wednesday at 6:30 p.

Meetups in Charlotte

Best Places to Meet People Single or not, we all like to meet people with whom we have similar interests. Although, let's be honest. If you're single, there's often a little more urgency attached to the situation. But sometimes we need a little help to know where to go. We've profiled the best places to meet men and women like yourself. From restaurants and lounges to places to get fit, talk business, and bring your dog, we've got you covered. By Dara Donnelly, Nicole Ewing, Mike Giglio, Steve Goldberg, Jodi Helmer, Kristina B. Thursday nights, Sullivan's is a popular hangout for many of the city's young professionals. It's often packed by 7 p. With a separate bar area at the front of the restaurant, low lighting, and loud music, it's easy to strike up a conversation simply by bumping into someone accidentally or on purpose. Arrive a little later and mingle with a mob of banker types and stylish ladies at the far end of the bar. Dressing to impress is definitely the rule of thumb. Valet parking, available and convenient, has the added perk of some very cute valets if that's your type. If you're looking for a diverse crowd, you probably won't find it here. Harris Teeter in uptown 325 W. But what if your grocery store is smack dab in the middle of center city, surrounded by apartments, condos, and essentially single living? Strolling into the Harris Teeter on the corner of Fifth and Poplar streets during the weekday lunch hour is a singles haven. You'll find a line of young professionals waiting to place their order for the daily sub sandwich special. Because of the wait, there's time to look and socialize. Can't make it for lunch? The after-work shopping crowd is equally as single. Dressed in gym clothes or business wear, shoppers roam the aisles with baskets, most likely for one. This is not the place to see hot soccer moms loading up a cart for their family of five. Weekend shoppers need not worry—the beer-and-wine section keeps this Harris Teeter alive all the way through Sunday night. Third Thursdays at the Mint Museum of Craft + Design 220 N. It just feels right to be holding a glass of wine while perusing galleries of fine art. Perhaps it's because that scene has been shown time and again in movies especially romantic comedies. The Mint Museum of Craft + Design creates that setting each month. The live jazz and light hors d'oeuvres complete the experience, making it perfect for mingling. Most people arrive from work, but they seem to have spiced up their wardrobes a bit in anticipation of the night. There are usually more women than men. And, fellas, here's a tip: Check out the galleries prior to coming this evening and impress the ladies with your knowledge of art. Free admission and a cash bar. The Dog Bar 3307 N. Canines and humans alike are welcome to this casual bar, located in the heart of NoDa. Even if you don't find the hottie for you, dozens of sweet pups are around to divert your attention. And don't be afraid to dress down because, like the liquor, the dog hair—or worse—is plentiful. We're going to assume that goes toward sanitation. HOM has become a major player in the city's nightlife scene with a crowd that mixes singles and the attached with gay, straight, and everything in between. Chris Edwards Petra's Piano Bar 1919 Commonwealth Ave. Although all are welcomed, Petra's attracts some of the liveliest individuals in Charlotte's gay community. An assortment of red lanterns and chandelier lighting, low ceilings, and the sound of piano keys gives the bar an intimate, charming vibe. A large projection screen fills the back wall, rolling anything from Madonna music videos to old movies. Music ranges from Broadway tunes to Elton John hits, and anyone is welcome to jump in and sing alongside the piano player. Most nights are filled with regulars, but if you're outgoing and love to have a good time, you'll fit right in. If nothing else, you don't have to worry about awkward first conversations—the entertainment is an immediate icebreaker and most of the singers are good for comic relief. Ad 2 Club or the national Web site, Give them two days of your month and they give you the opportunity to learn, network, and socialize. An affiliate of the American Advertising Federation, the Young Professionals in Advertising, better known as Ad 2, has developed a Charlotte chapter that serves as a source of networking in the creative business world. The first Tuesday of each month, Ad2uesday, is set aside for an after-work soiree at one of Charlotte's many hot spots, which have included Tutto Mundo and Dolce Vita. Guys in ties and ladies in business attire gather for cocktails, mixing business and pleasure. And you shouldn't have a problem making the guest list. Anyone under the age of thirty-two and involved in the fields of marketing, communications, graphic design, public relations, media, or other creative professions is invited. College students aspiring to find work in any of these fields are also welcome. Ad 2 also sponsors public service events and fundraisers throughout the year, for you civic-minded types. Business After Hours 704-378-1336, The Charlotte Chamber's monthly networking social isn't the stuffy business-meets-pleasure event you might expect it to be. Professionals who seem happy to have escaped their cubicles are actually quite lively and engaging. Gents have loosened the ties, while ladies have opened a button or two. People at Business After Hours tend to clique up, so if you walk up to someone and introduce yourself, you'll soon be in a group conversation. You'll have to dodge the couple dozen or so Realtors who are there looking for clients. But other than that, it's a pleasantly diverse group. And if someone sparks your interest, it's common to ask for a business card what you do with it from there is up to you. The chamber selects a different place each month to hold its event, from restaurants and cafes to country clubs and sporting venues. Peak Fitness on Morehead 1001 Morehead Square Dr. The uptown location being a key ingredient, Peak Fitness on Morehead attracts anyone from bankers to members of the service industry to professional nightlife goers. Weekdays between 5 and 7 p. And there are never enough machines, so there is plenty of time to mingle as you wait for an Elliptical. Girls trot lightly on the treadmills, hesitant to break a sweat, every so often fixing their ponytails. Guys mostly lift weights, but not without eyeing the entire room between sets. And the mirrored walls make it easy to nonchalantly check out your neighbor. If you're single, looking, and want to burn a few a calories, this is the gym to join. If you're not single, bring an iPod. Where Is the Love? Karla Thompson started the forum nearly two years ago after frequent morning debates with a male co-worker that showcased the differences in opinions men and women often have. National Whitewater Center 820 Hawfield Rd. It's still relatively new, and there are activities for all ability levels. Be warned, however—whitewater rafting, kayaking, and climbing require endurance and a positive attitude, so this is probably not the ideal place to meet someone if you're the bump-on-the-log type. Even if you are having a lazy day, the Eddy Restaurant and Bar allows you to regain your energy with a bite to eat while scoping the well-toned eye candy on the course. Chai Expectations He thought she was very attractive. She thought he was clean cut and a gentleman. When he opened the door to the restaurant for her that evening several months ago, he did it out of instinct. Kevin might have had an idea that she was his date but couldn't have known that for sure. They were supposed to meet at the hostess stand. Cindy thought this could be him, as she knew he had red hair. Other than that, they had yet to say a word to each other. The date was arranged by Laurie Berzack, whose Chai Expectations is one of the South's only dedicated Jewish matchmaking services. Her service is the professional version of what Jewish mothers do as a hobby. Berzack is clear that this isn't a dating service. Being Jewish is a must, as is being serious about commitment. Success is based on a benchmark such as getting engaged, or being together for at least a year. Kevin, thirty-three, and Cindy, thirty-two, met in April and are getting closer. He works in the motor sports business and she's a speech pathologist. It was Cindy's third introduction through Berzack, his first. They most likely would never have met another way. It's harder to meet people at my age. I'm at the point in my life when I want to get married and be with somebody. I'm a shy person so it's hard for me to meet people. When I started this, I never thought in a million years that the first person she set me up with would be someone that I would be with for the last seven months. She had tried JDate, a popular Jewish matchmaking Web site, and other services with no results. Her mother pointed out a newspaper article about Chai Expectations, several times in fact, but it was her sister who eventually pushed her to try it. She's glad she did and would definitely recommend it. Her reward will be in the bank and in the heart. To Berzack, the whole thing is simple. Show off whatever you've got, because it's impossible to hear yourself think, let alone carry on a conversation with a potential mate. The music, whether rock or rap, is ear-piercing even for an uptown nightspot. Men adhere to the esteemed hair-gel-and-muscle-shirt dress code, while women squeeze into their tightest attire. The bar is aptly named, with tall boys to match any style of graphic tee. Plenty of beers on tap, too. The blue-and-black drinking team takes over when the Panthers are playing. It gets more crowded when they're winning. Ladies who love drunk men in jerseys might find plenty of fish in the sea, but most of the male attention is focused on the waitresses, who are scorching hot. Make sure to leave a nice tip. Charlotte Breezers Ski Club Several years ago while perusing a women's magazine, Charlotte native Kisha Kincaid came across an article about the National Brotherhood of Skiers, a member-based association that offers skiing and other recreational activities to African-American men and women. Fast forward to 2008 and Kincaid is an active member of the association's local chapter, the Charlotte Breezers Ski Club, where she plans trips and coordinates marketing and PR efforts. So, what has Kincaid hooked? Well, it could be activities that take the chapter's fifty-plus members to ski trips in Asheville and Aspen, Colorado, wine tasting in northern Virginia, vacations in the Bahamas, and other excursions such as rock climbing, horseback riding, mountain biking, and even sky diving. The Breezers' membership is composed mostly of single professionals. The cost for each trip varies. The upper level, called PLAY, is perfect if you love to dance. Mostly featuring techno and house beats, the music is loud and the energy pulsating. White leather VIP seating borders the dance floor and is also offered on a more secluded third level, attached with a higher price tag, of course. Oversize couches, fire pits, and bamboo create an alluring rooftop terrace that provides a less noisy, serene conversational setting. Plus, HOM is a no-smoking club. For more of a lounge experience, head down to the basement-level LIV. Chandeliers, beaded pillows, and cocktail girls donned in sequins create a shimmering ambience. And a room full of plush, suede bedding seems almost intentional for some intimate, getting-to-know-each-other time. Expect to see anyone from young, hardcore clubbers to forty-somethings having a girls' night out. Mac's Speed Shop 2511 South Blvd. Still, sit at the bar rather than the round tables, and you'll find that it's not that difficult to meet your stool-mates. Even the bartenders are approachable and fun to chat up. Biker bar, sports bar, and barbecue joint, Mac's is more Southern than a lot of places in Charlotte, and there are plenty of friendly good ol' boys just hanging out, watching the game. You'll have the most luck here if you're female and you like beer, and the unstated dress code is anything relaxed and comfortable. Mac's has all the laid-back, down-home coolness that the ritzier bars downtown don't, along with more than 150 different beers from across the globe and Bike Night every Wednesday. Can it happen in real life? The owners of Village Paws and Claws think so. The specialty pet supplies store in Birkdale Village began hosting social events soon after opening its doors in early 2007, believing that dog lovers needed a place to socialize with their four-legged companions. The Whine and Cheese events are held after hours, giving pet parents a chance to mingle over drinks note to single guys: women outnumber you here. Specialty doggie wines are also served, in case Rover needs some liquid courage to approach the doggie in the window. Need an opening line? Jackalope Jack's 1936 E. Plenty of young, single men are as ready as a jackrabbit to jump at the chance for a round of pool with a young, single lady. Women are more like the Jackalope's softer side, the antelope—docile and cool after a few Bikini Martinis, but quick to gallop away at the threat of a predator; in this case, an overly aggressive and intoxicated male. Many single ladies admitted to being hit on while sitting at one of the picnic tables on the front porch, but few were bothered by it. Unlike most uptown establishments, patrons do not fit into one niche. A variety of lifestyles visit this Elizabeth staple, from yuppie college grads enjoying Tuesday-night trivia, to young bankers looking for a happy hour, to a girls'-night-out group singing karaoke on Thursday or Saturday. Alive After Five Wachovia Plaza, Second and Tryon streets, Designed for the after-work uptown crowd, this event draws individuals from all over the city as people stop in for a drink—or five. You will see the twenty-somethings who use Alive After Five as their jump-start for the evening they've gone home to change into their best bar-hopping clothes as well as blue-shirted bankers entertaining clients or colleagues from out of town. You might bump into your co-worker's husband, your ex-boyfriend, that guy you see in Starbucks you didn't have the nerve to talk to, or that gent that your friend met on her last Internet-dating excursion. There is no shortage of good-looking, well-dressed singles. But don't expect anything fancy—think plastic cups and two choices of wine—yet, with an invigorating city vibe, live music, and drinks aplenty, Alive After Five provides a fun experience for the Charlotte born-and-raised or the newbie. Beware, it gets crowded. Note: for better wine choices and a moderate break from the overwhelming crowd, work your way into Mimosa Grill. The patio provides a great landing to scan the mob scene and make your next strategic move. Alive After Five is held each Thursday, 5:30-9 p. M5 4310 Sharon Rd. From its rich, inviting color palette to leather floors and recessed lighting, M5 exudes sexiness. On a recent night, the end of the bar drew a gathering of businessmen, while one of several leather couches was occupied by a group of dressed-to-the-nines blondes, each sipping M5's signature sangria. As for the ring check—all but one appeared to be free of matrimony. Whether you're in the market for a rich man, a trophy wife, or just some good people watching, this stylish scene draws the after-work goers as well as a later crowd Friday and Saturday nights. Don't forget to check out the patio, which is filled with plush seating. During cold months it's heated, and during warm months it takes on a Miami vibe. Thomas Street Tavern 1218 Thomas Ave. It's pleasantly dim with a comfortable pub décor, and there's even a murky cigarette machine. Lots of beer is on tap at reasonable prices; more is available in bottles and cans. That along with a big food menu helps explain why the after-work crowd comes pouring in. Leave the office at the crack of five to find a seat at the bar. This isn't necessarily a Cheers environment, especially once the music gets louder as the seats and standing room fill up from Thursday through Saturday nights, but there are lots of familiar faces. Feel free to strike up a conversation or take a shot of Jameson with anyone, and don't be shy about trying to hook up. Plenty of people are looking. The Ping-Pong tables out back have killed many an amorous night, however, as competitive streaks are rediscovered. Golden Tee, pool, and foosball offer laid-back alternatives for feeling out a new friend. And there's always the jukebox for the romantics out there, or the especially intoxicated. Can you really judge someone based on a few sentences and a grainy photo? The group outings are designed for mingling, so there's far less pressure than a one-on-one dinner date. More singles equals more chances to meet someone. Since the events are activities based, there's also a better chance of connecting with people who share similar interests. Looking for a vegetarian world traveler who plays disc golf? A little bit of sleuthing on Meetup. All it takes is a simple online registration. Local groups like Charlotte Excursions, Good Eats! Charlotte, and the Charlotte Poker Meetup Group have more than a couple hundred members each. Or, join a smaller niche group like Charlotte Jewish Singles, Charlotte Hispanic Singles, 35+ Black Singles, and Charlotte Single Lesbians to further narrow the field. Connolly's Irish Pub 115 E. Expect to be put in place if you're being a wanker. As such, if you do meet someone here, it's not likely to be a one-night stand. Some patrons have even been known to take a knee right on the floor beside the bar, to a round of applause and champagne. Or announce, later on, the impending arrival of a first child, to a round of car bombs. Guinness, as might be expected, is the beer of choice, and the pour's just right. On any given weekday, seats start to fill up once the bankers can get away from their desks. When the bigger crowds come in from Thursday through Saturday nights, the small outdoor patio and upstairs bar take care of the overflow. But like any good pub, there are enough people around to make it feel like home whenever you decide to stop by. First Fridays Not to be confused with common bar nights or gallery crawls, this First Fridays is part of a national network, First Fridays United, which operates in thirty cities across the country. The Charlotte organization started in 2002 and has produced some of the city's biggest events. Once a month, the party takes over a different venue around Charlotte, from The Big Chill in Dilworth to NV Nightclub and Lounge on Lake Norman. The crowd ranges from the chic and professional to the slightly rough around the edges. And there's always a line around the building of people waiting to get in. It helps that celebrities often drop in. LeBron James hosted the December event when the Cleveland Cavaliers were in town. The cover charge is high, but if you want to see and be seen then it's well worth your money. Yoga One 1111 Central Ave. The Friday-evening vinyasa class at Yoga One often is packed with more than fifty-plus yogis, women and men, many of whom are not only tight and toned but single, too. Get there at least twenty minutes prior to class so you can reserve a coveted spot. The studio is heated to a hot 90 degrees, which means less clothing while in close proximity to potential mates. Best of all, the room is mirror-free, so there's no dreading the half-moon pose. If midday is more your speed, Yoga One's noon classes also boast some seriously single coeds. Instructors like Johnna and Steve often the Friday-eve instructor help you perfect your form and flow. Pop Life Series Creative Loafing publishes a thorough calendar of events in its pages each week. Last summer, partnering with local promoters Sol Kitchen, CL attracted an eclectic group of young professionals and aspiring artists to Prevue in NoDa. With no cover charge and free food, people flocked to the event. When the event returns, don't miss out.

The after-work shopping crowd is equally as single. The studio is heated to a hot 90 degrees, which means less clothing while in close proximity to glad mates. Mac's has all the laid-back, down-home coolness that the ritzier bars downtown don't, along with more than 150 different beers from across the globe and Bike Night every Wednesday. It doesn't matter if you're looking for Speed Dating in Charlotte, or just plain old fashioned Custodes Dining - Singles Dance or Singles Social Events. Guys mostly lift weights, but not without eyeing the entire room between sets. Anonymous email, chat, and Instant Message. Chai Expectations He thought she was very attractive. Single parents are online now. Whether you're in the market for a con man, a trophy wife, or just some good people watching, this stylish scene draws the after-work goers as well as a later crowd Friday and Saturday nights. So grab charlotte singles meetup beer to retox after your detox and get to know the person on the mat next to you. This is basically a marriage proposal for me.
