Make sure all of your friends (particularly married ones that know you well) know you are interested in meeting people. I've met a lot of nice women through friends wives. Most people know people who are looking to meet people, and a friend of the same sex with a spouse probably has friends you can meet. Another possibility is personal ads. Don't laugh! A friend of mine paid a video dating service $600 for a one year membership and didn't meet anyone interesting. We both placed ads in a singles newsletter (for $10) and got ten to fifteen responses each. Of course all of the responses weren't what I was looking for, but some were. Right now I'm seeing someone my friend's wife introduced me to (they worked together for a while), and my roommate (housemate, really) is seeing a lady who responded to his ad. Ads do work, and they don't have the stigma they used to. How many of you women would respond to an ad like the following: Single white professional male (SWJMNR), 25, 6'1"", 180lbs., with brown curly hair interested in fine dining, health spa, dancing, walks on the beach, and good conversation seeks responsible, honest female 22-28 for a lasting relationship. Send letter & phone. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Seth H Zirin UUCP: {decvax, ihnp4}!philabs!sbcs!megad!seth Keeper of the News for megad
