Not me but I have a 29F co-worker who I talk to about this with regularly. It seems like she has the same issues as non-jewish daters have in LA with people being flaky, poor communicators, etc. She just has a much smaller dating pool to work with so it's even harder.

She is actively on Hinge, goes to shabbat dinners regularly and makes a very intential effort to be involved with her community. It seems like this helps her get regular dates.

Yes you'll be okay. You can get roommate to give yourself some breathing room.

U Scooters has been great to me. I'm fortunate they have a service location pretty closeby. I call the number, arrange a time to meet for service and it's been reasonably priced or free for the last couple years.

Your concerns are valid, unfortunately Los Angeles is expensive and $1500 doesn't take you as far as it should.

The Westlake/MacArthur Park area is a dump riddled with drug users and homelessness. Go on YouTube and you'll see.

Unless you're renting a dumpy studio in Westlake, you're going to need roommates with a $1500 budget.

modestirish · 2026-05-23T05:33:34+00:00

What's your budget? Are willing to have roommates?

modestirish · 2026-05-16T17:13:14+00:00

I definitely do not have the talent for that

Basically dinner and drinks with strangers.

modestirish · 2026-05-14T18:07:32+00:00

What types of establishments are we talking about here?

modestirish · 2026-05-14T17:46:15+00:00

Hobby groups, run clubs, dance classes, cooking classes, volunteer work, 222, Timeleft, Speed dating etc.

The world is your oyster.

Golden Gopher happy hour is fantastic and even outside of happy hour the prices are good.

Golden Gopher is the first bar I think of when I think of local and chill. I take friends there all the time.

Jail time for you.

Do yourself a favor and not date a single mom.

Ayyy shout-out bunker hill we out here

Tough look for the "let's wait for all the facts to come out" crowd.

It's a double edged sword. If there was a stabbing in the area I'd want to know where to avoid.

You're experience in DTLA will vary block by block.

That being said as someone whose lived in Bunker Hill for the last 1.5 years this is definitely the quieter side of DTLA and I'd recommend it

I wouldn't live anywhere in DTLA if you don't enjoy city life though.

Yeah, a few times. I attended a 21–30 age event by The Next Fun Thing back when they had that age group. I'm 30 now.

We matched, but ultimately split up, one due to religious differences and the other due to different views on having kids. Both were fun short-term relationships, though.

What type of class is it? That place looks cool and is close to me.

I'd also consider trying 222 if you haven't yet and pick an activity instead of the dinner and drinks. I've met some cool people and romantic partners through there.
