Love in Perth – Where Are the Eligible Singles?

So where are all the eligible singles? Let’s dive into the biggest dating struggles in Perth and why so many are still swiping, waiting, and wondering if love is just another Fremantle Doctor breeze—gone before you even feel it.

1. The Small-City Dilemma

Perth is stunning, but when it comes to dating, it can feel… too small. Chances are, you’ve already seen that one guy with a surfboard in his profile multiple times. Or you’ve matched with your mate’s ex. Or you’re constantly running into your matches at brunch spots. Awkward!

Reality Check: The limited dating pool means your options feel repetitive, and meeting new people organically can be a challenge.

2. The “Too Busy to Date” Trap

Work, gym, dog park, repeat. Life is hectic, and between deadlines, meal prepping, and binge-watching the latest Netflix obsession, dating often takes a backseat. Even when you do match with someone, scheduling a date feels like coordinating a wedding.

Reality Check: If your calendar is full of work meetings but no romantic meet-ups, it’s time to change the strategy.

3. The Swipe-Till-You-Die Fatigue

Online dating should make things easier, but does it? Swiping through endless profiles, engaging in pointless small talk, and ghosting (or being ghosted) makes modern dating exhausting. You match, chat, plan to meet, and… nothing happens. Repeat x100.

Reality Check: Swiping might be easy, but it’s not working if it’s leading nowhere.

4. The Ghosting & Situation ship Spiral

One moment, you’re messaging back and forth, sharing your love for smashed avo and beach sunsets, and the next? Silence. Ghosted. Or worse—stuck in a “situationship,” where it’s kinda dating but with no real commitment.

Reality Check: Perth’s dating scene can feel like a rollercoaster of confusion. Clear expectations? Hard to find.

5. The “Where Do I Even Meet Someone?” Question

Apart from dating apps, where do people actually meet? Not everyone wants to hit up Northbridge at 2 AM or awkwardly strike up a conversation at Woolies. Singles events exist, but many don’t know where to start.

Reality Check: If you’re looking for genuine connections, it’s time to step out of the usual routine.

So… What’s the Solution?

Instead of endlessly swiping and hoping, why not try speed dating? It’s fast, fun, and takes the guesswork out of “Are they even interested?”
