How to Find a Singles Group
Finding singles can be an intimidating proposition. You can meet singles on dedicated online dating sites, place an advertisement in the newspaper or venture to a singles bar. The chances of meeting someone you are compatible with may be difficult. Joining a singles group of like-minded individuals who share your interests can be a more amiable, if not safer, way to meet other singles. Whether you play sports, enjoy wine tasting, read books or visit art galleries, there are numerous singles groups that you can participate in. The majority of these groups can be found on the Internet.

Search for organizations online that have formed specifically to gather singles together. These organizations may be nonprofit or for profit. They are typically expert at planning events suitable for singles. For example, RSVP holds as many as 60 events monthly that cover a gamut of interests.

RSVP holds summer and winter balls, dinner dances and intimate weekend lunches. Such events are hosted, so someone on staff is there to help singles mingle and have fun.

Sign up for a singles-only vacation. Although these types of singles groups are typically a one-time situation that revolves around the journey, it is a relaxed and adventurous way to meet other singles. For example, Solitair organizes holiday packages for singles. However, it is not a dating agency. Its intention is to bring together people who would be spending the holidays alone for any number of reasons but would prefer to travel in a group. Solitair also varies the ages of travelers, but will not cater to singles younger than 25.
