I am curious about opinions on the best place for a single 40-something in Florida? Interests include latin dancing (salsa, bachata) but a non-Spanish speaker, social events, nature, beaches. I am not interested in Miami. Visited Fort Lauderdale/Sunrise recently and liked it fairly well, although it seemed expensive for rent. Not sure of the dating scene there? I have a friend who lives in Del Ray but wondering if its too small and may not have enough of a dance scene.

I would venture the Boca Raton-Delray Beach-Boynton Beach area, Sarasota or St Petersburg-Clearwater are your best bets though I suspect the latter two might be your better options if finding the rent too high in the greater Fort Lauderdale area.

Tallahassee would be a good bet.

Kinda sorta not....the median age in Tallahassee is 26 years. For every 100 females, there were 89.5 males. The 35 to 44 year age bracket involves 11.9% of the population and the 45 to 54 age bracket just 10.8%. Of those numbers 1/3 are single on average and Black or African American men make up 1/3 of that number as well which whittle away further more likely unless the OP is among a small minority in that age group open to interracial dating.

I would not be interested in Tallahassee...I have a friend who lives there and is single and she says its impossible to meet anyone there. Plus they don't have a good latin dance scene.

Years ago there was quite a ballroom/Latin dance scene in Delray but I have no idea about now.

Call me cynical but the area seems more about “spectator” than participant culture.

Maybe look on the meetup groups for different cities.
