A good place to meet people?
25/F
I've been single for about four months... And now I think that I'm ready to start dating again.
My problem is... I don't know where to meet an available guy. I tried bars and clubs in my wilder days, but the 'party' phase is over for me... So that's out. At work, I'm in a position of authority, so that's out. Church is not an option. I'm spiritual but don't tolerate dogma very well. So that's out.
Most of the guys that I have dated in the past, I met via the internet. I've tried Eharmony, Match.com, True.com, Plentyoffish.com, Myspace, and some other dating site that I had never previously heard of before. And I'm sick of internet dating. I receive tons of emails from guys that are inappropriate... Some of the guys that I have met post old photos and then look completely different in person. Some guys are only interested in 'hooking up.' And others... Are either socially awkward or just plain lazy.
Can anyone suggest a good place to meet people that doesn't involve alchol or a computer?
Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
There is a very nice website where you can meet people who share similar interests like you. This website has many choices listed that you can pick from. Not only will you meet many funloving men who share similar interests with you...but also make new girlfriends (who have brothers they can introduce you to!)
Check out their website...you have nothing to lose and soooo much fun to gain: www.meetup.com
You'll be on the computer just long enough to write down where and when to meet these new friends...and who knows...HE just may be one of them!!!
Good luck to you and keep an open and fun spirit!

Just being out and about puts in a position to meet people. You could hang out at coffee shops once and awhile or internet cafes. I've found if you have a dog and take it to the local dog park or beach or lake area you can meet a lot of guys. Having your animals connect is a good excuse for the humans to connect. If you have spare time between work, you could volunteer somewhere that interests you, that way you could meet people and also not have the problem of being their superior. Bars and clubs can get old, but if you reserved those nights just for special occasions that you would really enjoy, like your favorite local band playing, you could meet someone with similar likes. even just being open to being approached at public places works, like supermarkets, libraries, and movie rental stores. A little eye contact and a smile goes a long way. hope this helped somewhat

Well,
I can give you some tips on where to look, I know you said you are done with the internet but a safe website that has decent people and even people you might know is Facebook.(A website where you can find old friends that you went to High School with or people you know) However, If you have any friends that are woman you could try going out for a social event with her friends and try to meet people that way also. Someone once told me a good place to meet people is the Gym. I don't know if it's actually true but it might be worth the try. ;)
