Best Places

What are some the best places to meet nice, eligible singles?

I've tried the dating websites but somehow found that people tend not to tell the truth..had some bizzarre experiences there. In bars, most are drunk & others are just looking to get laid. The chances of meeting someone at work or bumping into them around the corner are very slim... How do you meet the right person?

1. People are everywhere. You can meet decents one is bars or online...or anywhere in life. Ways to meet people are to take a class, do volunteer work, join a civic organization, join a sports club or team, etc. You can meet people at the supermarket or gas station or anywhere else you happen to go in your daily activities. Take advantage of all available ways and options...don't rule out those that haven't worked for you thus far...sometimes it just takes patience.
2. If I was single, I'd do it through my church and activities that they have. Or maybe through clubs like running or biking clubs. The point is, you aren't meeting them in a negative setting like drunk in a bar. Go fishing in polluted water and all you catch are polluted fish.
3. local porn shop
4. Most of the time you have to go through lots of people to even consider that person being the right one. You can strike up a conversation with someone almost anywhere even if you would not know if they were eligible, because you never know if they are or not. Grocery stores, laundry mats, help from friends or co-workers.....
5. As long as you are not seriously looking, you may be able to run into someone right for you. It's not how and where. Try to forget about the technique to fish men and be free yourself so you would see wider world out there!!
6. I tried dating websites, and every single guy on one site I used lied to me. One guy presented himself as being with a job/car/prospects. I started to like him and then the truth came out that he had NO job/car/house, and was a penniless student! I wouldn't have minded if that was what I was looking for but I made it clear in my ad that I am in my 30s and need to settle! Yes most people were also just trying to get laid in my experience, too. I have now taken myself off dating sites. The last few guys I dated I did meet at work, but none of them worked out. A guy did chat me up on the tube, but I didn't fancy him.... I don't know how other girls do it. Sorry I can't be of more help.
7. Place of worship if you have one, coffee shop, book store, adult education classes, hobby group (this includes sporting groups), through friends, and yes, try the online again just be cautious which one you use. The best i have seen are Chemistry and (I hate to say it) eharmony.
8. Church....fitness centers.....through friends....there are people everywhere. I agree with you though...stay away from the bar scenes. In the city where I live, they have this thing called "It's Just Lunch" where they hook you up with people in a safe environment and you can talk and just have lunch. See if they have something like that in your city.
9. You have to be able to communicate your presence and ultimately, your desires to your intended audience so you must pay attention to those around you to acquire the social clues you will need to act on. Search for the right person by looking at what you like to do, where you like to hang out. For instance; if you like to read, look in libraries and bookstores, book clubs, and ask around like minded people. Same for music, or movies. Start with the basics. Look in your religious community or political gatherings. Go back to College and take some classes. Your future man might not be there, but his mother, sister or cousin might be. Network. Do a little team building to help with your project and don't be discouraged when someone less than perfect is offered up, you might have to sort through a few frogs before you find a prince. Treat them with the right respect and even those frogs can be useful. They all have friends and family. Best of luck.
