Other than 'Speed Dating' & 'Online Dating Sites' are there any other new ways of meeting potential partners?

I've tried online dating sites and had a few dates and will probably try speed dating in the near future (though I'm somewhat reluctant). And as my friend seems to have set himself a goal to find himself someone this year and I'm looking myself I was wondering other than these methods (and the usual ways of meeting women) are there any other modern or gimmicky ways of meeting people these days that are worth trying?

Have you tried plentyoffish.com? They run free singles events all over the country, as well as being the biggest completely free dating site.





I can't see how Y!A could be used as a dating site either - we don't know how old anyone is, which country they are in or their marital status - it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack!

Reply:not that I can think of... I guess just resort back to the old fashioned ways of chatting up women in clubs and maybe organisations that you're involved in?

EDIT - Ive met 2 guys off yahoo answers/360 after we'd conversed for ages - and I have to say its not that bad!! one of them turned out to be rather obnoxious - whilst the other was really nice and we've remained great friends as romance wasnt an option due to us being so far apart! It can work though!
