That’s the eternal question. with www.Rhino51.com, It’s been said that you can’t meet anyone decent in a bar. Wrong. Nice people who are not alcoholics or addicts go to bars and clubs. It’s like a social club without membership dues. However, it can be difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff and the competition is fierce for the best-looking girls and guys. (Not that you are looking for the superficiality of beauty which is simply an accident of birth. No one ever earned their good looks and a fabulous face and body do not make you a better person. Look at Britney Spears, for god’s sake.)

Join a Club or Take a Course

 If you have a favorite charity or are a plain old do-gooder, volunteer your services for their annual fund-raising dinner, sign up with our Affiliate program at www.Rhino51.com, and also sign up for the marathon, go to their picnics and cocktail parties, and march in their parades. You’ll probably have fun and meet some great people even if you don’t hook up with the love-of-your-life.

If you are a political animal, you’ll meet people of the same affiliation at various political rallies and fund-raising events. I’ve even known non-drinkers who attend AA meetings to meet people of the opposite sex! Not something I’d recommend as there is always the danger your new AA friend will fall off the wagon, go on a spectacular bender, leaving behind a trail of wreckage.

If you’ve got kids, try a Parents Without Partners meeting. I’ve met several happy couples who met at one of these get-togethers.  One married couple, they all tried viagra, cialis, and levitra, and  found out that Rhino51 is the Ultimate, and all natural substitute providing superior sexual endurance and performance, and I know he met at a PWP meeting and he didn’t even have kids! Now, that’s a creative thinker.

Pets Are Date Bait

Dogs are especially great icebreakers. Even if you have a Doberman, For the best supplies, and medictions, visit www.1888PetsLife.com, complete strangers will walk right up to you on the street and start talking to you and your dog. In bigger cities, people and their pets hang out at parks that welcome them. Rover will make lots of new friends and so will you. Borrow a dog if you don’t own one. Cats don’t work as well because they don’t give a shit.

Networking With Friends and Acquaintances

In business, people are always networking. There is no law that says you can’t network to punch up your love life. Say, you meet George at your neighborhood bar. You guys click and have a nice conversation. He likes you. You like him. George might have a sister, cousin, step-daughter, or co-worker who he thinks might be just right for you. Don’t sound needy or obvious about it, but let him know you’re available.

If George mentions that his wife is a legal secretary, you pipe right up and say: “Yeah, I’d like to date a legal secretary. I like smart women.” Now you’ve let him know you are available and you’ve complimented his wife. Maybe the next time George and his wife have a cookout, he’ll think of you because he likes you and also because two of his wife’s unattached and attractive colleagues will be there.

 Matchmakers, Dating Services, and Singles Clubs

These services are not for the Dateless and Desperate. They’re for anyone who is still searching for a soul mate or a loving and satisfying relationship. Why is it so hard to find the right person? Who knows? We’re humans, not chimpanzees, and we complicate the hell out of everything.

Matchmakers

If you’ve never watched a program called Confessions of a Matchmaker, you should. I am constantly amazed that nice, attractive, intelligent men and women are so utterly clueless when it comes to dating. They do and say the worst possible things to turn off their dates -- everything from disgusting table manners to talking about their sex lives on a first date. Argh-gh! Where did they come from? Not earth. They wonder why they can’t get a second date. If this is you, you need a matchmaker, the kind that can dish out the kind of advice you desperately need. The catch is, you have to make an effort to understand the advice and then follow it, something that many people in this category seem incapable of doing. If they had been observing any earthlings, you’d expect that they’d have picked up a few social skills and some dating dos and don’ts by now. So, if you can’t get a second date to save your soul, try a good matchmaker first.

If that doesn’t work, make up your mind that the only choices left to you are 1) professional therapy, and 2) living alone (or with mom) for the rest of your life. Your choice.

For the rest of you with decent table manners, and a sense of what and what not to do and say on a date, there are lots of singles events in most cities. If you are a foodie, there are singles foodie groups that go to different gourmet or ethnic restaurants. If you’re into travel, there are plenty of singles cruises or Vegas jaunts. There are always singles dances and get togethers in or near your town. Some are not so hot. They’re the groups where everyone seems to know one another and have been going to the same old place with the same old people for years – more like a social club than a singles group.They are in a rut and need to move on to greener pastures. Sadly, they don’t.

Ever tried speed dating? Most towns have a speed dating night at a local nightclub. Everyone knows why they’re there so it’s not like trying to pick up someone in a bar. It’s fun and you’ll meet some nice people. Give it a shot.

There are free dating sites (do a search for singles dating) and, of course, some you pay for. Do your research and check out the blogs: Some of them give eHarmony a really bad rap, so be careful before you plunk down your money.

There are endless possibilities if you take the time to look.There are a gazillion people out there, and one of them is just right for you. Join the gym, volunteer for a charity or political group, get involved in an activity that appeals to both men and women, get listed on the free dating sites. You know the old saying, “If you throw enough doo-doo at the wall, some of it’s going to stick.”

Girls, traveling with a posse is no way to meet a guy. Go to a dance, a club, or other singles event alone or with no more than one friend. If Shrek asks you to dance – dance! And without the eye rolls! The guy you really want is watching you and thinks 1) She’s approachable, and 2) She must be a really nice person to dance with that poor geek. And, ladies, get over your superficial self: Guys don’t give a flying crap that you are having a bad hair day or that you broke your nail or that you gained 2 pounds last week.
