Online dating and dating in general can be overwhelming, from figuring out which dating site to go on, to taking the time to craft a great profile, to figuring out other ways to meet people offline. Below you’ll find a number of resources that can help make the whole process simpler.

Online Dating Sites:
So many dating sites, how do you choose? Different people can have a variety of different experiences on the same site, so we suggest that you take some time and browse the members on a site before you sign up. If there are many people that catch your eye, you know you’re in the right place. If you’re still not sure, check out one of the sites that rate all of the other sites to see what people have to say about them.

Offline Options:
We often recommend trying a number of offline dating options concurrently with online dating. It gets you out meeting more people and can give you a break from the pressure of the one on one online blind date.

Meet Market Adventures
Meet Market Adventures provides the opportunity to meet other singles while doing everything from skydiving to playing pool. There's no membership fee, and you can choose from a variety of events which include single vacations, single cruises, weekend get-a-way's and local day trips.

8 at 8
Eight at Eight is a dining club that offers members a different way to meet new people by arranging dinner parties of four single men and four single women who have similar backgrounds and share common interests.

The Lunch Club
Not a dating club, but a great way to meet a group of people casually over lunch. Who knows who you'll end up meeting though?

Shoshanna's Matches
Matchmaking can be another route to find a partner. If you're Jewish and in New York, Shoshanna's Matches is one of the best known Jewish match-making services in the city.

Social Circles
Social Circles is an activity and social club and a great alternative to dating services. They have a wide variety of activities including sports, nightlife, cultural events, socialactivities, and travel.

Poker Divas
This is a great group for women that teaches you how to play a mean game of poker. Great for business, for making friends, and for what else? Oh yes, meeting men. What a fabulous idea.

Speed Dating

Meet and chat with many people in one evening, and then find out if you made any matches at the end of the night. You talk with each person for 3 to 8 minutes depending on the service, and then switch. It can be a fun way to meet a lot of people in one night.

HurryDate - They also have online dating now too.
