Hey!  We really like a site called SLS.  It will allow you to do a search & show you many ppl are in your immediate area, as well as different listings of clubs & events like Meet & Greets in your area.  You can join for free, and it really serves as a great way to find others you may be interested in.  Good luck, and happy swinging :)

This is a good place to meet people.  Just be careful to not get too carried away.  What kind of new friends are you looking for?

Perhaps you should go to a few munches. Online searching has its place, but there's nothing like meeting others in the flesh (:. Also, networking is important. That's probably going to be the most effective means as it helps ease the anxiety of first meetings and helps weed out those that wouldn't work out.\n\nGood luck in your search.

The West End is a good area to meet people. You haven't said the age bracket you are looking for but you could start there. Greenville Avenue is another area where people like to socialize. Good Luck!

Not sure but try http://www.metasingles.wotsnext.com\n\nMeet like-minded singles for dating, friendship or marriage while discovering new Relationship Growth tools and resources for changing your beliefs about dating, relationships, and marriage. \n\nYou'll find others dedicated to self-help who are reaching for their dreams, taking responsibility, and working to making this world a better place.

Go to places that express things about yourself. If you like art, go to a museum. If you like music, go to a concert, or record shop. At these places you'll meet people with common interests.\n\nSay hi to at least one person per day. Odds are you'll make friends with at least one perosn within a month.\n\nAsk people questions about themselves. Showing interest in another person shows that you genuinely care about there hopes and concerns.

There's an internet site know as "meetup.com" that has all sorts of groups and clubs on it.  You can either join or contact them to find out what they're up to.  Yes, these clubs exist in the East Bay as well.\nFinally, anyone who hasn't heard of the Bay Area per se must have spent the better part of their lives hiding-out somewhere in the whiles of 'never-never land'. :)

Church !!! sounds weird, but I made soooooo many "good" friends who are understanding and genuine. You have to get plugged into those "Life Group or Small Group" meetings, and they have like weekly meetings to hang out, talk, go places, eat at somewhere nice, etc. Try it... you'll love it... i promise =)

It's what you make of it.  I've met several very nice, interesting people by using Yahoo!, but I've also met a few from the other end of the spectrum.  If you decide to go that route, be sure to take the usual common-sense precautions when meeting someone.\n\nWishing you the best of luck!

There are hundreds of places.  Just do a search on Pen Pals, etc. and they will all come up for you to choose.

My space is the number one source, but you could also try hi5.com. it's more private, and i've met a lot of people through hi5 that are now my close friends.

If you're in an area with a large gay population, try looking for a gay hiking club, or cycling club (or similar group).  That might be a good way to meet such a person.  Your local Gay and lesbian support organisation/national gay sporting body  should be able to put you in touch with one if it exists.  If there isn't one, consider starting one!\n\nIf you're in an area where we're thinner on the ground, you may need to look further afield using the internet (that's what I did).  I recommend staying away from Gaydar and other really commercial sites.\n\nOr, you could try joining a nature conservation group (if you're into that), or a group of people who do volunteer work outdoors, or a political group.\n\nBe yourself, and the right person will make their way to you.
