For as many married people that you know, there are just as many single ones! Did you know that there are 95.7 million single Americans, and nearly half of those are between the ages of 30 and 64? That’s 47.9 single Americans between the ages of 30 and 64. And, more of those people are men than women. So, how do you find your fellow singles? It’s great that you have tried some of my suggestions: Keep it up! For more suggestions, I suggest you read my blog “Top 8 Tips to Meet Someone by New Year’s” http://www.meezoog.com/blog/?p=458. They are all great ways to meet someone, even after New Year's. I think that particularly joining a meet-up group could be good for you, because meet-up groups are designed around interests. Volunteering is also terrific. And don’t be afraid to befriend single women who are younger than you- friendship is much more about common interests and clicking with someone than it is about age. In addition, try these tips: Go back to school: I’m not talking about getting another master’s: many colleges have departments of continuing education. These are hotbeds of older single people. Take a class in something that interests you that you never were able to study, or something designed around analyzing current events: it’s extremely important to be able to knowledgeably talk about what’s going on in today’s world. And then suggest going out for a drink after class to your classmates. Chances are, the single classmates will go, and the married ones won’t. Don’t be afraid to be an initiator! Singles events: Go by yourself. Most of the other people will have come alone also. And again, look at it just as much as an opportunity to meet women as to meet men. There will be lots of single women there who you are sure to click with! Join a dating network. Sites like Meezoog create a network of people around you who are a similar age with a similar education level. And Meezoog is free! Join an events based group of an NGO or organization, or get yourself on the board:Lots of NGO's continually have events that are specifically designed around socializing with others of similar interests to you in an intellectual way. Get yourself on some mailing lists for these types of groups, and go! Most importantly, when you do meet a single woman who you connect with, really make an effort to stay in touch with her and become better friends. Before you know it, you’ll be shopping and chatting like you’ve known each other forever! Another great resource: www.firstwivesworld.com. This site is specifically geared towards divorced women and will be focusing a lot on dating and romance in the upcoming year. Happy Friending!

I've been implementing most of them over the past year after my divorce except for #11. I can't seem to escape the married crowd of my friends. Everyone I know is married. And everyone they know is married too! How do I schedule singles or networking event without having single friends? What are the good ways to meet new people? It seems like such a dumb question... I am not even looking to date, just meet single friends of my age group (30-40), education level (graduate degree), and interests (active sports and science). So college crowd, bars and clubs seem like a poor choice... Plus everyone shows up in groups anyways! So how do I build a group in the first place? What other venues are out there? Something where I could show up alone and not feel like a fifth wheel. I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you for posting these tips.
