Try the personals site through http://www.theonion.com which is the same one available through http:www.nerve.com
I met my girlfriend through that one almost a year ago. It doesn't work for everyone, but for me, I found the best person I've ever known in my life.
We both came across each other's profiles at about the same time, messaged each other, talked on the phone for a week or so, then met up where I working at part time job, then a date the next night, then she saw me perform the next night (guitar/singing) and ever since every day has been the best.If any advice for looking for someone on a site like this:
Don't consider anyone without a picture, and even then be cautious. If someone won't post their picture, they likely don't find themselves attractive, or at the least they don't think a total stranger will.
I know, I know, it's about personality...but face it, no one is out for someone who thinks they're ugly to the point they won't post a picture and their hopes are riding on winning you over with a text profile. That's just how it goes.I'm not trying to be too cliche or anything, but she and I constantly think about how great we have been for each other, and it's a very frequent thought of mine to think, "What if I hadn't given it a chance? What if I hadn't posted a profile on there?"
Because looking back on everything so far with us, it's kind of amazing to think that the potential for all that to exist rested completely on taking that chance in meeting someone that way.
True, the same could be said for simply introducing yourself in person to someone who caught your eye. But it's a great way to meet people in that you can really get to know them before ever seeing them in person. The first time we went out, nothing was odd, nothing was uncomfortable, except for that we were in a restaraunt with no one but us... :D
