This is not your ordinary parent blog for kid-friendly stuff. This is written by someone who is a beer enthusiast and is intimately familiar with restaurants, day trips and more.
If you are wondering why your single friends/childless friends give you a weird look or go radio silent on group texts when you invite them out, this guide is for you.
(You might want to read this guide on how to make friends while you are at it).
Outdoor Dining SF Dog-Friendly, Outdoor Dog Friendly Restaurants San Francisco
Most blog pieces for meeting others are geared toward singles seeking a romantic connection. The truth is, it’s tough meeting people, especially when you are limited by having a dog with you or if you have a kid.
Many places are also geared toward guys meeting other guys or women meeting other women, but for couples looking to meet other couples, this can be quite challenging as well.
A lot of you spawned kids or adopted a dog during covid. Some may have kept extra vigilant and refrained from socializing in public spaces during that time.
The days are longer, the weather is warmer, and you may have gotten tired of being locked up with your partner for 4 years straight - you have the itch to go out and meet people. Whatever the reason, I am here for you.
Places To Meet Other Couples, Parents & Dog Owners San Francisco Bay Area
Having grown up in Marin, lived most of my adult life in San Francisco, and managed to explore the Bay Area beyond SF city limits, I know a thing or two about meeting others all over the Bay Area.
Beyond helping singles in their dating lives, I also help folks make friends (as individuals or as couples). This entails evaluating everything from first impressions to appearance, wardrobe, posture, social skills, hobbies, lifestyle choices, life experience, career, communication skills, and more.
Unfortunately, there are no man parks in the Bay Area (yet, crossing fingers), but there are some good alternatives.
