Tampa’s Got the Numbers — Literally

Tampa ranks Top 5 in the entire U.S. for singles, according to a WalletHub study. That’s right — you’re surrounded by thousands of potential matches who are also looking for something (or someone) real.

Here’s what the stats say:

    •    Over half of Tampa adults are single. (HealthyFramework, 2024)

    •    Tampa is ranked 13th for nightlife and first-date spots — from cozy breweries to waterfront hangouts.

    •    But despite that, 65% of singles nationwide say they still feel lonely around the holidays. (ValuePenguin, 2024)

So what’s missing?

Not opportunity — connection.

The Tampa Dating Problem

Dating apps are packed, but conversations often fizzle.

People swipe, match, and… disappear.

You meet someone cool but never leave the chat.

Or worse — you go on one date and never hear from them again.

That’s where ThirstDate steps in.

Being single in Tampa means options — and Thirst Date helps you make the most of them.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about endless swipes — it’s about meeting people who make you feel something.

You don’t have to wait until Valentine’s Day or “cuffing season.” Tampa’s energy is year-round.

So grab a drink, make a move, and let’s turn “just another night out” into “how we met.”
