Singles in Phoenix

Dating in Phoenix is built around the outdoors eight months of the year — and around air conditioning the other four. Camelback Mountain at sunrise is practically a rite of passage for new couples here, and spring training baseball gives you six weeks of perfect low-pressure date material. The city attracts transplants from everywhere, which means most people are actively looking to build a social circle — a huge advantage if you're new too. Summer dating requires creativity: indoor climbing, museums, resort day-passes (locals know the deals). Phoenicians are laid-back but active; suggesting a hike beats suggesting drinks, and showing up with water and sunscreen signals you belong.
