4 Places to Find Love in Lagos This December

Are you looking to connect with compatible partners in Lagos but struggling to find the right spots to meet potential matches?

Scratch that. I’ll rephrase…

Have you been replying ‘God when’ to those girlfriend proposal videos on IG and X, imagining yourself in those scenarios and wondering where you would find someone that loves you for you?

Well, it’s no news that finding love in Lagos is hard. The streets are tough, no lies. But I can assure you that it is possible to find love in Lagos.

You just need to do two things:

Be willing to leave your house – yes, you’re not furniture.
Be strategic about your hunt – you know what they say about those who fail to plan.

We’ve established that discovering meaningful relationships can be challenging, but certain locations offer opportunities to connect with individuals who share similar interests and aspirations. Bottom line, you can still drop your single status before 2024.

So where exactly can you find love in this Lagos full of “wicked” men and women?

Let’s get into it.

Upscale Hotels and Resorts

Hit up sophisticated spots like Oriental Hotel, Landmark Beach Resort, EbonyLife Place, etc. These environments often attract diverse crowds, providing opportunities to mingle with like-minded people.

It’s impossible to sit in the lobby or restaurant of any of these locations and not run into a fine man. Remember ladies, the goal is to find love so make sure he’s also single, make dem no run you street.

The same goes for guys, not every fine babe you see is available so… the ball is in your court. Don’t forget to send me an invitation card to your wedding.

The Gym

Going to gyms in Lagos provides a dual benefit of health and social interaction, potentially connecting you with someone who shares your fitness enthusiasm. It’s time to ditch those home workouts and YouTube videos.

Truth is, the gym even allows you to showcase your physical aspects and strength more than anywhere else.

So you get to work out and also scope out potential partners who have strong genes they can pass on to your kids (wink wink.)

The good thing is that if you don’t find love here, at least you get to enter the new year with a banging body. A win is a win!

Social Events

Events like weddings, birthday parties, pool parties and beach parties present an excellent opportunity to meet new people.

The relaxed, celebratory atmosphere makes it easy to strike up a conversation that could lead somewhere.

If no one has invited you to their wedding or birthday party, check yourself o, e fit be say you get bad character or you’re not connecting with enough people.

Social Media

Leveraging social media and exploring online dating platforms is a great way to expand your reach. Platforms like Instagram, X and even niche dating sites specific to Lagos can be a goldmine.

Fusion also has a rich dating & relationship community that hosts fun, speed-dating events. You can join the community here.

Wherever you choose to go to find love in Lagos, bear in mind that building meaningful relationships takes time. Try not to be too bent on finding a partner.

Keep an open mind and focus on having fun while exploring new places and meeting new people.

Always respect personal boundaries and prioritise consent so you won’t end up on a thread or worse, Instablog.
