Go shoppingThe vibrant city of Bradford is a great place to meet people and, if you’re looking for a date, there’s always lots going on. Here are some tips for finding love in the City of Film.
Go out on the town
There are lots of bars and pubs in Bradford which are worth a look, whether you’re looking for a traditional English pub or a trendy nightclub. Even if you’re not up for a big night out, you could always enjoy a quiet drink with a friend at the jazz night at The City Vaults and see who you might meet. It’s much easier to strike up a conversation in a laidback atmosphere.
Visit a museum
There are so many wonderful museums and galleries in Bradford, frequented by tourists and locals alike. From 1820 to 1861, the Brontë sisters (along with their brother Banwell) lived in Thornton in Bradford before moving to the parsonage at Haworth in the heart of West Yorkshire’s Brontë Country. There, they wrote a range of novels that have become classics in English literature, including ‘Wuthering Heights’ and ‘Jane Eyre’. Explore the place where the romantic stories were born at the Brontë Parsonage Museum and maybe you’ll start your own!
Get out and about
The beautiful countryside surrounding Bradford is a brilliant place to meet a fellow walker with a love of the great outdoors. Take a stroll on Ilkley Moor and enjoy the amazing views or plan a day out in Brontë Country. You could also take a trip out on a bike on one of the many cycling routes in the area. Taking the dog for a walk is another good way to meet people while out and about as you’ll have something to talk about straight away.
Try online dating
Online dating is a great way to meet people in your local area who are ideally suited to you. Because websites such as eHarmony.co.uk are so varied, you can scroll through hundreds of potential matches in your home city in no time at all. Simply set up a profile, tailor your searches and start messaging people. Couples all over the UK have found success through online dating, so why not give it a try?
Join a club
Another great option for busy people is to try joining an evening class. There are plenty to choose from, including arts, sports and creative writing, and you can have fun while increasing your social circle. The more people you meet, the more chances you will have of finding a date. Check the listings at Bradford College or search online.
