I've been in the single pool a little while and although I really enjoy my freedom and doing things for me I miss having that someone special in my life and want to go about meeting someone.

Any suggestions on good places to meet people? If you are happily in a couple how did you meet?

I know a lot of people meet on-line, but I'm not convinced that is the only way to meet people.

Thank you peeps! :smile:

    I met my partner through Plenty of Fish, although there are a lot of people who use the site for a hook up site. There are people there that are looking for relationships.

    MFP.


    And you don't have to show skin... although I'm not opposed if you'd like to give us a quick demo of what's for sale.

    That's not true, the only girls I talk to on MFP are barely clothed....

    My husband and I met at a college orientation. Find some organizations that interest you so you know anyone you meet at least has a shared interest that can be a great starting point.

    try Meetup.com. you can meet so many different people with similiar interests. AND, if you don't meet that someone special, it's always a great opportunity to get out to try new things in your area, make friends & network.

    http://www.meetup.com/

    good luck to you.

    I know you're not totally sold on the online idea but I met my husband on OK Cupid. I think it can work if you're absolutely honest about who you are and EXACTLY what you're seeking in a partner or date. By this I am saying *delete/block* any people who don't totally meet your requirements or when you feel like they may be lying -- and if someone DOES sound great, ask lots of questions and chat, but meet them irl quickly to avoid wasting time. JMHO!

    Online isn't the only way, but it can be very efficient if you have a good BS radar.

    Otherwise, try to meet people while doing whatever it is you like to do. Get bold and introduce yourself. See where it goes from there. I do not advise trying to meet people at typical "singles" spots if what you're looking for is a long-term "someone special," as opposed to a one-night "someone special." I also do not advise fix-ups unless you trust that the person(s) fixing you up know you really, really well. Everyone I know and their grandma tries to fix me up, and it always ends in disaster since I have apparently not made it clear enough that I am not interested in *kitten*. I will never again do the fix-up thing unless it's my brother or sister orchestrating it. I do not trust anyone else to be honest with me about how douchey someone is maybe BEFORE I waste a hot dress on him.

    I met my current partner via OkCupid. I would highly recommend it. Do answer lots of match questions, then look for people who are 90%+ Match with you. Easy!

    Join a club of some sort. It means that you will have at least one thing in common.

    I was new in the city a few years ago and looking to make friends and not having any luck at the office I worked at so I joined CouchSurfing.org. I like to travel, meet people from other countries, and I think hospitality/community is important so I picked this one. My local chapter meets weekly and monthly. I have met some awesome people going to those meetings. Its just random strangers meeting in a local bar or coffee shop but its actually a lot of fun. I did get a few dates out of it, but mostly I made a few great friends. I have a friend back east who joined a local hiking club. If you arent into the club scene, you just have to get creative about where you meet men.

    Have the courtesy to close the coffin with you're done.

    The courting process is what makes it so much fun and memorable. Next time you see a girl in the coffee shop, go and ask the owner if you can make her a cappuccino and present it to her before asking her out on a date.
