The easiest way would be online personals.  They allow you to get to know someone and actually think about what you're going to say to them, since the first conversations are usually text based.  My new personal favorite is www.mate1.com  It's FREE for women and it has tons of questions you can answer about yourself like your favorite movies, brands, tv shows, music, etc and you can place funny comments in there to show off your sense of humor.  Another good one is Yahoo Personals and www.match.com  Don't believe the hype about eHarmony.  I tried it and now call the site eTramp.

Go to many many local events such as concerts etc, join a club such as line dancing if your into that or a bowling leag. Go to every event your friends may have, a wedding party etc. You can also place an ad in the paper or search for a singles dating place/party in your area online, we have them here in town and i need to go there since im single myself lol. Yahoo personals can be a lot of help too, you just need to be honest about youself and know what you want and be clear in your profile, dont leave anything out such as a picture of yourself, i wont click on any profile without a picture.\nMatch.com and Harmony.com are 2 very good places to place a personal as well, just make sure you fill everything in and it may get you somewhere, oh and keep it local because you dont want to travel thousands of miles to meet and then find there is no sparks. Before meeting her make sure you know A LOT about her, never jump into it and dont believe everything she may tell you and always reply to her e-mail, communication is the keyword when dating online.

Trust me, bars are full of guys looking for a one nighter.  I have gone out and talked with alot of girls who went to online web sites and they told me alot of the guys were real pervs.  I don't know about eharmony though.  Maybe go someplace to meet guys like a dance class, church, take a class at a college, an exercise class, etc.

Its all about trial and error. I don't think there a particular way to find a "good girlfriend" And it also depends on what qualities you are looking for in a woman. \nI wouldn't suggest bar or night clubs. Rather try meeting people through activities that interest you, for example, if your into reading or books, you could join a book club, or if you enjoy fitness you can take a class. This way you are more likely to meet someone with similar interest as yours.

I'd say bookstores and blind dates are pretty good options, at least better than bars. Then again, if you like to booze it up and hang out at bars, and are looking for someone who enjoys the bar scene, maybe bars are a good place. The good thing about blind dates is that they are usually set up by people who know you and care about you and know the other person as well. If you are concerned about being attracted to the person, you could just do a little recon (get a photo or check them out) before setting up the actual date (of course keeping in mind that attraction is more than surface deep).\nThe type of person you're trying to attract (a "decent girl") is most likely to be hanging out where? If you have hobbies, join social groups that let you meet women with the same interests. Just get out a lot and spend time in places with the type of people you find the most interesting. \nJust keep in mind the type of person you are looking for, look in those places, and get out and socialize a lot. \n\nGood luck.

Look in the places where you enjoy going most.  If you like to workout, check out the gym.  if you like the beach, find someone there.  \n\nMy point, chances are you'll find someone who is compatible with similar interests rather than lusty bar flies.\n\nGood Luck!

well, find out if you and the new person have anything in common.  the guy I am currently wishing will develop into something more, met at a bingo game...we started out talking about how lousy the bingo numbers were...now, we talk about all sorts of stuff.  try looking at places to meet people that meet your interests.  if you like Karate...try several karate studios...if you like dogs...try dog parks...if you are religious...try church...or other place of worship.

You can try online dating, just be patient.  I would suggest you try pre-dating (predating.com) or 8 minute dating (8minutedates.com).  That's always a fun way to meet people.  \n\nThere are always single groups on meetup.com that you can join as well. Good Luck

You probably don't want to meet anyone at bars anyway so maybe it's good you live in a dry county. What are your interests? Maybe there is a club you can join? Sporting events? YMCA? Volunteer somewhere? Good luck!

I've met a few people on internet dating sites, as long as they are fairly local you can arrange to meet or talk on the phone. I've also joined local groups and taking up hobbies like climbing and swimming.\nI've heard of people meeting up in supermarkets and at bus stops, and of course at work or college.\nGet out there, and don't be afraid of making a fool of yourself now and then.\nGood luck

People down south are very friendly, and we love people like they're family. The way to meet people is to get out and get involved in various activities.  Join a club that interests you. If you meet a guy there, he's interested in the same thing. Take a class, for fun, at the community college, like knitting, painting, computer, etc. Go to ball games, outdoor concerts, street dances, etc. The main thing is...get out of the house. Good Luck! Welcome to the south.
