It won't make you feel better OP, but I met my H in college. We had a mutual friend and met at a couple of outings we both attended because we both knew the mutual friend.
Do you like recreational sports? Some cities have something like Zog Sports in which you join an unofficial league and play kick ball, dodge ball, touch football etc... This is a GREAT way to meet attractive, fun men. I did it and met a lot. I highly recommend it!
I've relocated to a new city and I'm interested in establishing a relationship. It gets rather lonely going to shows, movies and dinner by myself. I do not like bars or clubs, so I avoid those places. I do enjoy going to cultural theater performances, independent movies, book stores and coffee houses, but sadly, I haven't met anyone as of yet.
I get a few looks from attractive guys, but none have struck up a conversation with me. I'm in my early 30s and feeling a little saddened by the fact that I'm not in a relationship. I should add that I would prefer to avoid online dating. I like the idea of meeting a nice guy the old fashioned way.
Needless to say, I haven't had much luck, so I'm interested in knowing where you met your special someone.
Oh, and don't forget to network
Tell everyone you know that you are looking, this may lead to some introductions or dates.
Which does not make me a huge proponent of it. However, if used as one of many ways to try and meet people, it can for some people be helpful. However, it's not for everyone. You have to really know yourself, and what your looking for, be able to articulate that on the site, and quickly identify whether the people you are communicating with know the same things (themselves and what they want).
I agree. I met the guy I'm currently dating via an online dating site, and I'm in college. So don't think you've missed the boat by not striking up a college romance. I see my peers, both make and female, go through a revolving door of relationships in college. Not too many people my age want to be in a serious relationship...I'm definitely in the minority. Most of the college kids I know seem quite content with Mr. or Miss Right Now as opposed to Mr. Or Miss Right.
I wouldn't write off online dating. It can work if you're smart about, have patience, and know exactly what you want. Good luck.

A dance at a military officer's club. Couple friends dragged me there. So happy I went!
