How to Meet Men Other Than Dating Sites
Online dating is a fast, convenient and increasingly common way of meeting a potential mate. But if you have decided that this method isn't for you, there are a few offline ways you can go about meeting and dating men. The convenience factor goes out the window, though, and you will have to work a little harder to be out and about, but it is possible to meet someone without using your computer.

Eat lunch outside your building instead of at your desk. There is a solid chance that you will come across a single, employed man.

Attend after-work happy hours. Instead of going to clubs and bars at night, where it is sometimes difficult to meet and talk to a gentleman, you should attend after-work events.

Perform tasks outside that you usually would do in your home. For instance, even if you have a washer and dryer in your house, take your clothes out to a laundromat some of the time. Increase the number of tasks you perform out of your house.

Participate in a local competition, or join a coed team. For instance, there might be a mixed volleyball league nearby.

Organize small group outings with your single and married friends--about eight to 10 people. Ask everyone to bring a single guy along to see if you or the other single people in the bunch can find a match. Hold these outings at a restaurant or home. Since your friends are choosing the guys, there is a better chance of hanging out with a nice pool of available men.

Tips & Warnings
Consider counseling to see if there are any issues that you need to resolve within yourself before searching for a new man. You have to be in the right state of mind to accept a good man in your life if you are looking for long-term love.
