Oklahoma City singles enjoy life in the largest city in their state. There are more than half a million people living in Oklahoma City itself and more than 1.3 million in the larger metropolitan area surrounding Oklahoma City. Singles in this thriving, modern city on the American Great Plains have at their disposal all the benefits of a diverse urban environment with many interesting features.

Nearly all of the buildings (more than thirty structures) in the twenty-block downtown area of Oklahoma City are connected by the Metro Concourse, a subterranean pedestrian system covering approximately three-quarters of a mile. Offices, shops, and eateries line the Concourse, which is scheduled for a major renovation in 2006 at which time it will be renamed the Underground.

In addition to this unique underground tunnel complex, downtown Oklahoma City also plays host to a favorite spot for Oklahoma City singles, the Bricktown Entertainment Complex. A one time warehouse area, Bricktown is now a warren of high-end retail boutiques, haute cuisine restaurants, live performance venues, and chic clubs. If you are in Oklahoma City dating, Bricktown is definitely on your agenda.

Along Broadway Avenue in the Northeast Downtown area, a region once lined with car dealerships, we find Automobile Alley, a district that has undergone a conversion favorable to Oklahoma City singles. The Alley is now filled with renovated loft living spaces, exclusive galleries, and prime office space. A restaurant is under development and Automobile Alley shows every sign of becoming the trendiest urban neighborhood in the downtown area.

The area of western downtown is comprised of the Arts District, a cultural center for Oklahoma City dating that goes beyond dance clubs and trendy restaurants. This area houses the Civic Center Music Hall, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, the Stage Center for the Performing Arts, Myriad Gardens, and the Oklahoma City National Memorial. (The Memorial was erected in memory of those killed in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.)

Oklahoma City singles wanting to visit the bohemian part of their city can venture into the Paseo Arts District, which dates to 1929. Done in the Spanish style, this "village" is home to local artists and the site of numerous and often "funky" small bars and cafes.

Unlike many modern American cities where the downtown area has become virtually deserted or crime-ridden, the downtown areas of Oklahoma City have not been allowed to whither. Instead this city has cultivated a diverse downtown area where residents and visitors can not only work but play, sampling either the nightlife of Bricktown or the cultural possibilities of the Arts District.

While it is only the twenty-ninth largest city in the United States, Oklahoma City is both the largest city in Oklahoma and the state capital. As such, it is a major influence on the surrounding area and a prime source of jobs and entertainment for Oklahoma City singles.
