The dating scene in Portland

Portland has a creative, unpretentious dating culture that values independence, sustainability and local businesses. The city is known for its food carts, coffee roasters, bookstores and breweries, and people often get to know each other through shared interests rather than formal dates. Rain is frequent but never stops plans; cozy cafes and pubs are always close.
