Where to Meet Single People

There are many fabulous ways to meet single people if you are a midlifer, but not all of them will work for you specifically. If you are shy or quiet, for example, you are not going to meet someone the same way that a gregarious extrovert will. Here are some ideas for the best way to meet someone based on your personality and interests.

Meeting Single People If You're Shy

Going to singles groups or even volunteering your time can be rough for shy people when it comes to meeting potential matches. If they feel out of their element, they may act awkward or even more reserved than usual. A great guy or gal will probably pass them by thinking they aren't interested.

If you're shy, try these options instead:

Online dating. (You can get comfortable emailing someone before you meet.)
Set ups from friends. (Make sure you meet someone out for a coffee date to make this as comfortable as possible.)
At your church. (If you're a regular attender, you'll feel comfortable chatting with someone new in this type of setting.)
