Boston Singles Overview

Thanks to a high concentration of colleges and universities, Boston is a very youth-dominated city, with approximately one in three Boston residents falling between the ages of 20 and 34. As a result, there is a very large population of singles in the area, and thanks to the vast array of cultural resources, as well as technology, many of them find a great variety of ways to meet and connect with others outside of the traditional bar scene.

Many of the museums host monthly or even weekly events aimed at bringing younger patrons through the doors. The Institute of Contemporary Art, or ICA, for example, regularly hosts First Fridays, with guest DJs and live performances all set on the decks at the Boston Harbor's edge. These types of events are often great for Boston singles to meet other folks at, since the evenings always bring in a fresh-faced crowd every month.

For those that do like to go the more traditional route, Boston has plenty of bars, lounges, and clubs that are perfect for meeting other singles. One of the city's most notorious hook-up bars, Gypsy Bar, packs the space to the brim with Boston singles hard on the hunt.
