Finding Local Singles: Building Social Channels

You can meet singles in your local area by building up and utilizing existing social ties. If you're looking to date someone locally, see if friends or family members can set you up with any singles they may know. While it may not be a good idea to date immediate co-workers, you can probably meet new people in different departments or from other sectors within your industry. You can also expand your social network by becoming more involved in the community around you. Doing volunteer, religious or civic work can help to generate new friends, contacts and potential dates. Also, becoming involved in a new hobby or activity with social aspects can help introduce you to local singles.
