Meeting new people can be hard.

You could join a online group (or start your own) for people with like interests. You can join community programs, volunteer groups, or chat people up at the PTA meeting. But perhaps you want to meet a “friend” - as in, a person to date and possibly fall in love with? Singles bars and socials are one way, and another option is FriendFinder. I just pulled it up and it immediately took me to listings in the Tampa area. (They must have some built in tools that detect where your IP address originates from, and then it matches you up with people in your area? Eliminates the searching through cities and states at least!)

At FriendFinder, you can meet singles to date for romance or friendship, and they’ve got over 1.7 million members. In fact, almost 3,000 are online right now. Most of the listings have pictures, and you can join for free. My sister has tried the online dating thing, but I’m not sure if she’s tried this site, so I’ll need to make sure she reads this blog entry I did a search for men ages 40 through 50 in her zip code and came up with 20 results right away. You can see the persons age, photo, and location without even leaving the page of search results.
