in a Tough Economy: Where to Meet Singles to Date &#8211; Part II"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I am continuing the discussion on where to meet people to date when you are watching your pennies.\u00a0 In my last post, I mentioned many sports-oriented groups and activities to meet singles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What if you are not so sports-oriented and want to meet someone to date?\u00a0 Do you believe in volunteering and giving back to your community?\u00a0 In DC we have DC Single Volunteers(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dcsinglevolunteers.org\/\">www.DCsinglevolunteers.org<\/a>) .\u00a0 You can sign up for a volunteer project and they try to keep the projects gender balanced.\u00a0 One of my friends met her husband that way.\u00a0 Churches, temples and synagogues all have volunteer activities.\u00a0 That\u2019s especially good if you want to meet someone within your faith who has a giving disposition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Many museums, theatres and concert venues have social events and fundraisers with young professionals that support the cultural venue.\u00a0 They can be rather costly to participate in.\u00a0 However, if you offer to volunteer and help out with the event committee, you may be able to attend the event for free.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you are a single parent or are interested in dating single parents, you can seek out the Parents without Partners groups.\u00a0 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwp.org\/\">www.pwp.org<\/a> )\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This is a nationwide organization with local chapters.\u00a0 They have many low cost activities.\u00a0 When I was getting divorced, I joined a personal growth group for separated and divorced individuals.\u00a0 Most events were $20 or less.\u00a0\u00a0 If you brought a snack to share, you could come for free.\u00a0 I know several couples who have met through these groups.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you live in the DC area, then visit my informational resource website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dcdatinginfo.com\/\">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 you can visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heartmindconnection.com\/free.html\">www.heartmindconnection.com\/free.html<\/a>\u00a0 for suggestions of social groups catering to singles in the major US cities.\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThere is a wonderful resource\u00a0at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meetup.com\/\">www.Meetup.com<\/a>.\u00a0 It mixes online social networking component with the offline of meeting people face to face.\u00a0 You sign up and say what kind of groups you are interested in.\u00a0 If you put &#8220;singles&#8221; and your zip code, you will get emails about all the single groups meeting in your area and you may meet singles who may be looking for a love relationship.\u00a0 If you like what the group is all about then you can join.\u00a0 Some are very active and some are not at all.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For instance, I joined a new moms&#8217; Meetup group and have met some very nice people.\u00a0 My dating advice to you is that it\u2019s worth a try.\u00a0 Many charge very little to join their Meetup group and the events are reasonable in cost.\u00a0 Be careful about large single&#8217;s organizations using Meetup to promote their expensive activities.\u00a0\u00a0 Most events are usually low cost at $20 or less.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So you can see you can be very prudent about the money you spend to look for a serious relationship.\u00a0 Which of these ideas sound right for you?<\/p>\n<p>This inquiring relationship coach wants to know!\u00a0\u00a0 In my next blog I will discuss how online dating is booming in a down economy!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your relationship coach,<\/p>\n<p>Amy<\/p>\n<p>P.S.\u00a0 Get your relationship questions answered and helpful dating advice!\u00a0 Join my late February 2009 tele-coaching group to help move you forward towards your goal of meeting a partner for a committed love relationship with the support of other singles, as well.\u00a0 For more information visit <a
