I've been considering it for a while actually. Maybe when I get back from my singles cruise? @Cage: I totally agree. It's been amazing these past few weeks, when I made my mind up that my perception needs to change. Wow, did things start changing when I decided that!! ...More to come in future posts ;) @Brenna: Thanks :D That’s a great idea… I’ve been considering it for a while actually.

In my opinion, courses and meetups are the way to go. Meetups because they're low pressure (they're not about dating overall, so they're less creepy), inexpensive, and low commitment ways to check out different groups of people. Courses for the same reasons, but you get to know the other classmates a bit better (for better or worse -- if they turn out all to be married or not a good match, 8 sessions with that same group is no better than one). Either way, you're pre-selecting people who like the same kinds of things you do. Contrary to popular culture, I have almost no friends who met their SOs at a bar or club, or even a coffee shop for that matter, even though being visible at coffee shops is still way better than being invisible at home. Hope this helps? I met my wife 1) downtown 2) at a meetup group 3) at Steamworks, so I can vouch for previous commenters’ suggestions.

Find out which of the interesting places people go to downtown after work, everyone is visiting, schmoozing, blowing off steam from work and the variety of people is well mixed. I heard that steamworks & Joe Fortes are good places to go to. Also, ask your friends or acquaintances (who seem to be good at meeting people, finding mates) where they go to meet people/where they have successfully met people. This is a good way to uncover/find ideas that you might not have thought of before or at least what the new trends are. It's kind of like market research .... suggestion:
