Barcelona is an awesome city for singles for many reasons:

1. Barcelona is large enough that there’s always something exciting going on. Go to different places in different parts of the city and you’ll always meet new people. You don’t have to see the same people over and over again unless you choose to.
2. As people are territorial, they go back to their same preferred places repeatedly. Spend enough time at the place you met someone, you’ll be likely to run into them again. If you don’t want to take the chance, be sure to get their contact info the first time!!
3. If you’re not from Barcelona, you’ll have the benefit of the ‘foreigner effect’. The traditions, accent and customs from your homeland are probably different than that of the locals. This immediately gives you something to talk about when you meet someone.  This provides you with an exotic quality which is very appealing.
4. There are constantly new and interesting people moving to Barcelona on a regular basis, for school, work or just for holidays, so you’ll have a regular stream of potential new dating options.

Meet someone in Barcelona, Spain: The old-fashioned way

No matter where you live in Barcelona, there are loads of bars and clubs, where you can meet people.  Here are some suggestions to maximize your chances of finding someone in Barcelona:

• Whatever you look like, whatever your age, be sure you have made the most of your assets, and that you always look your best. Show off your best features, and try to draw attention away from those less-than-ideal traits.
• Be aware and take care of your personal hygiene. Make sure to bathe frequently (at least once a day). Use deodorant or antiperspirant. It should be common sense, but you’d be surprised what some people consider acceptable hygiene. It’s always better to err on the side of cleanliness!
• If you’re using a scent (aftershave, cologne or perfume), please do so sparingly! Also, bottled scent is not a replacement for showering… while you don’t want be the person with terrible body odor, you also don’t want to leave a cloud of perfume/aftershave in your wake every time you walk by.
• Be outgoing, nice, and exude confidence. Confidence can make all the difference in how you are perceived by others.
• Be passionate and energetic about your life. Even when you’re talking about things you might not consider too exciting, try to be enthusiastic. Too much negativity is not an endearing trait.
• Go out. Do things. Especially things that encourage interaction with people. Staying home makes it unlikely to find someone new to talk to!
• Try to show off your ‘special skills’.  If you’re a good singer, go to a karaoke bar or join a choir. If you are a decent actor, join a theater group or go to an acting class.
• You could also meet love interests in your current workplace. Be careful here! If things don’t go well, you will have to see this person every day. Even if things go well, seeing someone you’re dating all the time can be a strain on a relationship.
