How should I go about meeting people?

I am 31 and still single... I get asked out every now and then but none of the dates ever seem to go well... I was in a relationship with one guy for about a year but it did not work out... I just don't know where to go to meet people and I live in a small town....How should I go about meeting people?
This is an age old questions and one with no easy answers for sure. It boils down to the quality of people you want to meet, if you go to a club or a bar chances are you are going to meet people who like to hang out in clubs and bars, which can be fun but in my opinion rarely works for more than a couple dates, and chances are you might find someone who acts different at the bar than they do on a date, guys tend to do this.

Living in a small town limits your options and it really depends on how far away is the next towns, then you have the problem of a possible relationship where you are constantly having to drive to be together, the scheduling conflicts between life and dating鈥?Still not an easy answer, and then the questions still comes up of where in the next town do you go to meet these other people鈥?the bar usually and then your back to that question of quality again.

I have two ideas or options I can throw out at you that have worked for me in the past for the most part, sometimes it was great and others weren鈥檛 but that is still life of course, and the goal after all is to meet new people sometimes you鈥檙e going to get a Prince (or in my case a princess) and sometimes you are going to get a frog (sex doesn鈥檛 matter since a frog is a frog lol). First off I would look into social groups in your area, look at your interests surrounding your life and go on line, chances are there is a group who also likes those interest that meet up, don鈥檛 join an on line group after all you are trying to meet people, and even though people on line are still people they still aren鈥檛 the same thing as a face to face conversation. With luck and patents you will start to meet men who share the same interests you do and you can start to form a spark.

The second would be to join some on line dating sites, I know the stigma associated with these, which I think is starting to lift but the truth is, the people who are on there are looking for the same thing you are, to meet people. If you go this route the pitfalls of course are to weed through all the bullshit out there, which isn鈥檛 easy. To be successful at this though the best thing you could do for yourself is to be honest about yourself, people will of course think you鈥檙e bullshitting a little but if your honest from the start then the people who respond and are interested in you at least know what they are getting and you know they are liking you for who you really are. Put an up to date picture of yourself, and don鈥檛 make it a risqu茅 picture of yourself unless you are trying to attract men who just want a one night stand. Put a couple pictures of you that are nice, but show some of your interests but not overwhelming, the truth about these sites is 95% of all men will just look at your pictures first, if it doesn鈥檛 spark an interest from these they won鈥檛 bother to read your profile, no matter how clever and long you spend on it. There are a million on line dating services out there and many of them are free if you鈥檙e willing to deal with a few adds. Only search within a reasonably close area to you, after all you want a real life relationship not an on line one, so pick an area that you are comfortable driving too (don鈥檛 just expect the guy to drive all the time) and stick to it. If you aren鈥檛 willing to drive 100 miles to see someone all the time what makes you think that he will.

Be Picky but don鈥檛 be paranoid, discard anybody who only sends out a one line introduction of themselves, if they can鈥檛 form a sentence in an e mail what makes you think they will do so on a date. Be safe and pick a place of your choosing on the first meet but you don鈥檛 have to take a bat either.

Good luck, I hope this helps. If you wanted to e mail and say hello, I am always looking for new friends, the address accolade1655 @yahoo.com
Well, my view is that no one really knows where to look for true love and such. I believe it's really in the heart you need to search in. When both of you feel like you can trust each other completely, then there's a huge chance it can go well.How should I go about meeting people?
Montreal, Quebec i was just there and I met more girls walking to and from the clubs on the street then anywhere else EVER! Or go to a book store, and if you see a good looking guy, pick up the book hes looking at and start a convo.
Try going to a coffee shop or a club where you've never been before- or even better, go out of town! :)

Good luck and help me? http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind鈥?/a>How should I go about meeting people?
Your local pub is one option. Better options are volunteer work, church, employment, and dating sites. Her is a completely free dating site. Good luck and have a wonderful day

You should go out a little more. If that doesn't work, then I guess you could use the internet as a last resort.
