In the last blog post my relationship help was about some low cost options to take a date when you are dating on a budget.\u00a0 However, what if you haven\u2019t met any people to date yet?\u00a0 Where do you go to meet men or women to date in the first place if you are watching your pennies?\u00a0 How do you not blow your discretionary budget trying to meet “the one”?\u00a0<\/p>\n

My dating advice is much depends on what you like to do and what feels comfortable for you.\u00a0 If you are athletic, there are many lower cost options.\u00a0 I met men to date on a bowling league, a volley ball league, a single\u2019s biking group (that\u2019s where I met my husband), tennis parties, and hiking groups.\u00a0\u00a0 These are good places to meet men who like to be active and are socially oriented.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I was a member of the Washington DC Ski Club.\u00a0 They had many more activities than skiing.\u00a0 Besides ski trips, the club is really a social group with happy hours, cultural activities, tennis parties, hikes, and even a crab fest!\u00a0\u00a0 Another great place to meet singles is dancing!\u00a0 I took a series of group lessons through the ski club which can be very reasonable.\u00a0 Most area dances I attended cost $12 or less and included a lesson.\u00a0 There you can meet other people who also enjoy dancing.\u00a0\u00a0 This was one of my favorite pastimes when I was single.\u00a0 There are many great ski clubs throughout the US.\u00a0 (Women, this is a great way to meet men!)\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I also enjoyed going to sports bars during major playoffs (if you really like the particular sport and or team).\u00a0 I enjoy college basketball and watched the major games (Go Blue Devils!) at sports bars where there were plenty of men doing the same.\u00a0 I was bold and wore my Duke sweatshirt in a mostly University of Maryland territory.\u00a0\u00a0 A nice gentleman came to my rescue when I was being harassed by some obnoxious Maryland fans.\u00a0 We ended up dating!\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you live in the Washington, DC area, then visit my informational resource website, www.DCDatingInfo.com<\/a> for listing of groups where you can meet singles.\u00a0 The cost of attending for many of these groups is very reasonable.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Or visit www.heartmindconnection.com\/free.html<\/a>\u00a0 for suggestions of social groups that cater to singles in the major US cities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In my next blog post I will give you dating advice on where to meet people to date if you are not so sports-oriented.\u00a0\u00a0 So where have you gone to meet people to date for a serious relationship if you are being careful with your money?<\/p>\n
