Other Ways to Meet People Online

Maybe you've joined dating sites and after dating a few people who didn't work out, you've just had enough. The truth is, meeting great people online is kind of like meeting great people offline - the best ones may not be hanging around at the singles bar, because they're out doing things and making things happen. Try spending some of your online time in online groups related to your interests and hobbies. Particularly, focus on local groups - it's not hard to find an e-mail list or forum for New Jersey Republicans, Atlanta writers, or Oregon vegans. That way, you're more likely to be able to meet up in real life in a non-date context, perhaps a group get-together in a pub or bookstore.
