The best way to find someone is in the real world!  Online might work for some however, but Yahoo Answers is a Q&A site only.  It is not a way to hook-up with someone, etc.  Hope you find what you are looking for but i really don't think this is where you are going to find someone!  Their are many people but most (not all) are here to try to help people anyway they can!  :-)  Good luck on your search!!

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.

Try a "people finder" search. They're pretty good.

If you go to yahoo people search you can find people you can actually talk to on messenger,and thats free! You can so the same thing on MSN.Usually you search by interest or age catagory.

The best way to do this is to find this person on your Messenger List, right click, choose Stealth Settings and then choose "Permanently Offline".  They will never see you online.  And if they ever try to IM you just don't reply cuz then they'll know you are online.

The only possible way has been answered. You have to appear invisible to all. \n\nBut then again, if the person who's trying to track you down wants to really track you, he can use "Buddy finders" which tells any one if any buddy is online EVEN IF THEY ARE INVISIBLE. !\n\nso, there is actually no way.\n\nif you don't wish to receive IM's from people who are not on your list, then you can change your preferences to receive im's only from buddies on the buddy list. !

There isnt, unfortunately.  But you can go to your preferences in IM and determine who is allowed to see you when online.

Go to yahoo member directory http://members.yahoo.com/ or if you have installed yahoo messenger you may also find there person's profile..

Check on their profile by clicking the little picture near their name in their response. If the person has allowed it, you will see a link to "Send Email" or "Send IM" to that person. It is up to that person though; many people choose to get neither kind of contact so you won't always see those links.

Try People Finders.  Most folks have great success using them.
