Internet dating hasn't worked for. How else can I meet a partner?

I've tried the internet dating thing for about two years and it just hasn't worked for me. There seem to be so many people who pretend to want to be in serious relationships, but they are actually just out for flings. This seems to be common on most sites.





How else can I meet a potential partner, out of cyberspace?





I'm not into picking men up at bars, because that can never be long-term.





I'm an attractive 26 yr old female and I haven't had that One True Love yet, but would like it with the right person.





Any suggestions on how to meet available single men in a big city?





Or are some people just destined to be single souls for the rest of her life?

Reply:Single - many will be. You're in a big city, so that gives you an advantage. Find the stuff you'd be interested in a man having (sports, religion) and go to those type of events. Ask friends or co-workers. Maybe you could find a nice single guy on yahoo answers, he could even respond to your question! ;)
Reply:Clubbing helps, hope I helped. I met her in a club.


There are so many people in the club you could get along with.
Reply:If you are finding internet dating is not working you could try 'Speed Dating'. Most large cities have organisations for it see this one in London - http://www.speeddater.co.uk/ . There is plenty more to be found on Google.





Perhaps with internet dating your are not approaching it from the right angle - In my opinion the best way to meet a partner on the internet is to use a dating site like http://www.plentyoffish.com/ or many others just use google. Then you find a profile and picture of the person you like and message them. If they like you when they see your profile they will message you back. You can then progress from the dating site messaging to yahoo messenger and then on to skype - http://www.skype.com/ later if your relationship with that person develops.
Reply:agree with the first person. love will find you so dont try so hard.
Reply:Don't go out and "look" for love, it will come to you.





If you "look" you'll only set yourself up for disappointment, this is true in EVERY place to meet singles.
Reply:You're only 26 so I don't think it is very fair for you to think you're destined to be with only yourself. Get more involved in hobbies or volunteering, if you only make friends well they have single friends also. This way you meet people based on common interests and good deeds rather than for partnering up.
