Where to meet?

Ok...so this is a little off topic, but kind of related to the message board topic. I got married 2 years ago to the man I thought I wanted to spend the rest of my life with...then 6 months later he cheated and the marriage fell apart. So it is coming up on what would be our 2 year anniversary and I think it is about time to hook a keeper! The problem is, I have no idea where to meet guys!!! I met my ex when we were both in college, but since i have graduated that is out! Any ideas???

    For me I had a pattern of meeting a guy at work becoming friends for a few years and then eventually dating...consistent since I was 16...so I'm not much help. But it worked because it takes me a long time to get comfortable with anyone.My friends though seem to do well by meeting others through mutual friends, so maybe throw some feelers out there and see if any of your friends can help you out.

    Join some group or club that fits with your interests. That way you A get to do something you enjoy and B might find someone you have a common interest with.

    I am confused.  You recently posted on my local board saying that your wedding was canceled, so you need to sell your dress and rings.  Sooo...  What is the real story? By the way, I subscribe to the idea that you usually meet the best people when you aren't looking.  Pick up some hobbies, join some sports teams (IF that is your thing.)  Do something that you would have loved to do but never had the time.  More than anything be content with the life you have in this moment.

    I agree with Mutley. Don't expect to meet someone to be with and it will happen eventually. Trust me. It's happened to me. I think you can meet anyone anywhere...I was never one for oh lets go out to meet guys...it was more like lets go out to go dance.
