okay...

Altho Personnels CAN BE a good place to expand your possibilites (or so I have been told), it just so happens not to be a good outlet for me (why, hell I have no clue).

The best way to meet prospective mates are via other close personal friends... not blind dates per se, but parties, gatherings, and other opportunities. Unfortunately, in my situation almost all of my friends are married as are most of their friends..

Another good option (I have been told) is to become active in a local church (or other religious gathering spot), tho because I have not chosen to become active in religious organizations it hasn't worked for me.

Another option... become more active in your hobby, or find one. Whether it be Martial Arts, Museums, Art Galleries, book stores, etc... all good opportunities to meet people

NOW.. keep in mind.. I have been alone a long time... LOL.. so my advice might be worth SHIT. LOL (sorry.. had to add that)
