We’ll fess up. It appears that the four places we visited for this round of “Date these singles” are not the places to go to meet lesbians. (Although if you’re after a single New York woman who’s like Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo without the social awkwardness, try Target First Saturdays at the Brooklyn Museum.) From past experience, however, we can tell you Ginger’s Bar in Park Slope is a good bet for women seeking women. See who we found there in April’s “Date these bachelorettes.”

  • Sex and dating

Here are dating tips that you need to know to help you survive a horrific date—and tips to protect yourself before one even happens. We’ve all been on terrible dates—and they suck. But with our dater’s handbook, you just might be able to prevent a bad date from happening.
