More Inventive Ways of Meeting Potential Dates If you've exhausted your social circle, or you'd just like to try something new, here are some more unusual ways to meet potential dates. *Speed Dating - This new trend is the busy person's way to meet potential dates. These events allow you to meet a lot of men quickly. They're often held at coffee houses. Each woman gets a table, and the men rotate through each table in timed rounds. So, each man who attends will sit at your table and talk to you for approximately 3 minutes. You will each have a "score card" so that you can keep track of the people you'd like to get to know better after the speed dating night is over. You could easily walk away from such an event with three or four phone numbers or even scheduled dates. *Online Dating - This form of meeting people has become so commonplace, that it probably isn't even considered inventive any more. A few years ago, people who met online first were likely considered desperate, but today, online dating is thought to be perfectly acceptable. Plus, it's very convenient for a single parent. You can chat with potential dates online after your children are in bed. You don't even need to get a babysitter until you're ready to meet in person. Set up a profile on a few dating websites; keep your profile somewhat tame if you want to avoid men who are just looking for one fun night. Chat online until you feel totally comfortable, and then give him your phone number. Talk on the phone until you're comfortable meeting in person. Never give him your home address. When you're ready to make a date; arrange to meet in a public place. Don't let him come to your home. *Singles Clubs - These are social clubs that plan activities for singles. Once you've joined the club, you'll be invited to attend all sorts of parties, social hours and outdoor activities. Choose activities that truly interest you; that way, even if you don't meet a man you'd like to go out with, you'll at least have had a fun day or evening. These clubs can be a great way to meet friends who share your interests.
