Considering those numbers, it is safe to assume that out of the approximately 600,000 D.C. residents, 300,000 of them are single, and 150,000 of those singles local have a college degree. 

The ratio of Singles Washington DC men to single women is approximately 9:10.  Even if the ratio were almost even, a woman or man would have to meet at least 205 members of the opposite sex every day for one year in order to meet every single person of the opposite sex.

Meet Other Great Singles Washington DC

I really need to meet Singles Washington DC. Since my boyfriend and I broke up I've been really untrustworthy when if comes to men. When I thought about going to bars or clubs I knew that wasn't for me. I heard about this website that has speed dating and social mixers so I went to check it out.

 

After perusing through what they had to offer I once again decided I'd try it but I was still struggling with the issue of trust. My past boyfriend cheated on me with my friend in my apartment! I caught them kissing on my couch and not only lost a friend but lost a man that I thought I might marry. It's taken me months to want to even meet singles.

 

So as you can probably tell meeting Singles Washington DC has been tough. This man I knew through friends who was smart and cute wanted to take me sailing on his boat asked me out on a date. I said I would go because I love to sail, it's summer, and the weather is beautiful.

 

The next night I was out at dinner with several friends of mine and told them that he had asked me to go sailing. They told me to keep search singles because he's a player and asks every woman he's attracted to go sailing on his boat. I later found out six months earlier this guy asked my best friend out. I called him and bailed on the sailing. When he asked me why I told him that I don't date men who ask a new woman to go sailing every week. I wondered what his pick-up strategy was in the winter? Skiing? Making snowmen?

 

So I finally went to the Singles Washington DC events that I found on the website. My impression was that the men were just there to find women with whom they could have a one-night stand and that is SO not what I'm looking for. I guess I still cannot bring myself to trust men but I'm willing to go through the process of slowly beginning to trust.
