Sapphic<\/a> dating in Tampa Bay can seem harder than just swimming to the Isle of Lesbos. <\/p>\n

Thankfully, there\u2019s no shortage of community-building events and queer-inclusive spaces.\u00a0Whether you\u2019re looking to U-Haul or want a safe, inclusive Galentine\u2019s space, you\u2019ve got options.<\/p>\n

Cherry Bomb hosts a Valentine\u2019s Mixer<\/a> on Sunday in St. Pete. The night includes colored bracelets to signal what you\u2019re looking for, cupids delivering notes from secret admirers, crafting, live music from DJ Aural Pleaser and Venezuelan food from Car\u00fapano Kitchen. $10. 18+.<\/p>\n

The Wet Spot hosts a \u201cLesbian Lick & Flick\u201d<\/a> every first Monday. This month, DJ Chemical Lex will spin before and after the 2005 lesbian rom-com \u201cImagine Me & You<\/a>\u201d plays on the screen above the outdoor pool. No cover. And on the other side of Cocktail\u2026<\/p>\n

Disco Tits, The Ball\u2019s weekly Sapphic stoplight party<\/a>, is Valentine\u2019s themed on Friday, Feb. 13. The bar also hosts a Sweetheart\u2019s Soiree<\/a> that whole weekend with a Valentine\u2019s food and drink menu and all-gender GoGo dancers (though it isn\u2019t strictly Sapphic). No cover. <\/p>\n

Sun City Sapphics throws a \u201cVillain Era\u201d mixer<\/a> on Friday, Feb. 13 in Tampa.\u00a0The dress code suggestion includes \u201cLeather, corsets, sharp silhouettes, dark glam, statement boots, chains, red lipstick, slick hair. Think femme fatales, final bosses, and \u2018I did it and I\u2019d do it again\u2019 energy,\u201d per the event description. Give what you can.<\/p>\n

Her Way\u2019s Luv Her Galentine\u2019s R&B Party <\/a>on Saturday, Feb. 28 in Tampa includes drink specials and music from DJ Donnie Luv and DJ KP, hosted by Studs Don\u2019t Cheat & She She. $20 & up.<\/p>\n
