Oh, hey, guys and girls, I had a serious suggestion. Here me out...I think you should check out singles websites. Everyone except for a few truly eccentric folk will agree that online dating is lame.
I'm not suggesting online dating. I'm suggesting online networking. What you do is go to a popular website with thousands. Then select a nearby area code. Then, you can screen hundreds that live within like 30 miles of you. You can see pictures. They can see pictures. You can get a lot of establishing initial interest taken care of quickly. It's very efficient. THEN, about like after a week of online communication, organize meeting up for coffee or lunch. That's your first date, kids. It's extremely efficient, and you literally have a huge mass of people to choose from. I've probably met about 5-10 quality girls this way, 3 of which ended up being girlfriends for a short time. I stick to Christian websites, but ya'll are entitled to explore your own mainstream ones. Anyway, so seriously, see it as establishing initial contact, not pursuing a relationship over the web...just find someone, and take it to meeting in person quickly. There's some advice!
