Let’s be real, it doesn’t truly feel like summertime ‘til you’ve got a steamy little situationship on your hands to make your days (and nights) that much more exciting. If you’ve cleared your spring roster and are California dreamin’ of a fresh new fling—or just a tasty flavor of the week—say no more, babe. It’s time to dress up, step out, and get your mingle on with Fleur. From beachy boîtes to art world watering holes, L.A. is teeming with oh-so-chiseled singles guaranteed to get you more hot and bothered than the temperatures in the Valley. Hey, they don’t call it the Best Coast for nothin’.
The Bungalow
Love’s a beach, but lust is the party overlooking it at the Bungalow. The beloved Santa Monica hot spot lives up to its reputation for margarita-fueled meet-cutes beneath the twinkle of string lights, so prepare to get swept up by more than just the salty air. Hit the sprawling al fresco hideaway for sunset sips, and challenge that surf-tanned cutie across the patio to a slightly more than friendly game of ping-pong. Nine times out of ten, you’ll end up cozying up by the fire pit and getting to know each other well into the wee hours. We won’t tell if the night ends with a roll in the sand.

Whether you cinch your VIP status with a private poolside cabana or bump hips to a DJ set after dark, you’re bound to make quite a splash at this swanky rooftop oasis nestled atop the Dream Hotel. Go on and don your itsy-bitsiest bikini to dip your toes into the pool of sceney (but sexy) singles that you may or may not have seen on Raya. Just be warned: Things get slippery when wet…
