That’s amore

It’s the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love, when hippie counterculture was born and the radical new concept of free love began to flourish. What better time for all the singletons across metro Atlanta get up off the couch, get your heads out of your computers/TVs/Wiis and get out there to meet someone?

But where to start? That’s where you readers come in. We want to know: Where are the best places in metro Atlanta to find a romantic partner?

Almost anyplace is good, you just have to be open to it. Being open to a new person is a much safer bet than looking for one. By the time a person goes through your laundry lists of “must haves”, who’s left?

That being said, bookstores, grocery stores and different types of social clubs has always worked well for me. And by social clubs (hiking, biking, baseball,etc) That way you’re meeting people with the same interests as you.

Crazy…but after my divorce I started dating and just wasn’t interested in what was out there…friend of mine thought it would be funny to set me up an account with a Singles Online site…and BINGO! Her joke became a dream come true for me…I met a wonderful man online through that little joke of hers and we have been together for over a year…if I had to do it all over again…I would probably go the same route!

You can’t find love. Love has to find you. Clubs, bars and eateries are the worst places to find a good date. Try places that you would normally like so that communication won’t be hampered. Nothing like finding someone who’s attractive and talks about nothing but Gucci, Prada and nails… ohh and how she only dates wealthy guys.

Last but not least, get an idea of what you are not willing to tolerate, and stay away from it. So best place to meet a woman for me would probably be Church, work or through friends.

She and I wrote back and forth for a month (and also called each other on the phone), and when we decided to meet for the first time we just clicked. It was nice to already know a lot about her before we actually met — that gave us a lot to talk about!

I have always hated the bar scene. And I don’t frequent Baskin Robbins. (There are some single not fat women out there!)

I have had no luck with gyms (had dates but no one worthwhile), coffeehouses (get asked out frequently when I’m doing some work remotely), volunteering (I thought I’d meet some interesting men at the Aquarium - only drunk out-of-towners looking for hook-ups). I’ve been asked out while pumping gas (he actually pumped it for me). And at a lot of professional events - however the interesting ones always seem to be married or taken (that’s hands-off to me). I’m not the church type either.

So other suggestions?

When I was in Atlanta the best that I’d found was a “dating service” called Great Expectations. I don’t know if it’s still around. To me the best thing about it was you could learn a little bit about the person, see what they looked like, and no one was married. Or in a relationship. The only drawback was that you could get literally overwhelmed by the numbers of people registered. Too many suprises in the bar scene, or in most other places. I’d found many times you meet someone interesting only to find out “she has a boyfriend”. I’ve seen way too much of that where someone “has” someone, but they’re still “looking around” and you’re it.

eHarmony is a joke. $250.00 for their service. Based on whose diagraphics theirs or yours. Why pay for online when there are free one available now. Plentyoffish is a good one, and if you want one that has alot of features, with compatibility test and test in general try Okcupid.

Northeastner are you serious? Great Expectations is a rip off. If you want to pay 3 grand for nothing then go to this place. Do you work for them? You can get what they provide online for cheap or even free. I went there a couple of years ago. All I got was minus 3 grand in my account and a digusting feeling. I was 25 at teh time hoping to meet a man around my age. What I got was a series of grandfathers trying to meet me. What a waste! Eharmony works too! My friends just got married this year and they are very happy from meeting on Eharmony! Don’t knock it until you try it!Dating just stinks in Atlanta. I would rather be single than date half of them losers….

It doesn’t matter where you meet a man physically if his heart isn’t set on being with you it doesn’t mean a thing. I meet men all of the time. As I started earlier I meet a lot of men while I am out running. Ladies you will be surprised of the phune brothers I have met in South Dekalb. UMP, UMP, UMP. When I was looking for a home I was also researching the kind of men that live in the community. When I saw my male neighbors I said SOLD.I don’t mind rolling hills and trees but I gotta also gotta see a phune neighbor walk his dog from time to time. I feel ya BeBe. I hate running or in the gym and homeboy looks as if he is 5 months pregnant and all up in my face. They want us to look like Halle Barry while they look like Forrest Whitaker. (sorry Forrest)

Funny to see the myriad of responses and to see how diverse everyone is here. One person is looking for a “phune” brother and would even buy a house just to see some. Another likes to just date, ergo picking women at “magic city”, others are really interested in making a good match, therefore they invest money in services.

I found my wife online and we spoke for 3 1/2 years. We met while both responding to a topic and just kept speaking. She eventually moved near me because her family was relocacting here. Well, we decided to meet and the rest was history. I can’t say that you can rush love. If you do you’ll be a fraction of the person you could be had you waited. My advice is know yourself and don’t compromise until you get married.

Another thing is, like hotlanta says, take care of yourself physically and you’ll be surprised how many men you’ll meet. Not saying you have to be a size 3, however men don’t have testosteron for nothing. I used to meet women in cars while driving, at gas stations, online (worse place for me because I seldom found honesty), grocery stores, clubs, running, parks, events. Where ever I went I met someone if I felt confident. Funny thing was the place that I probably disliked the most, is where I met my wife. Just keep fishing. The right one will come eventually.

I’ve met some very nice men at Blockbuster Video or at the grocery store. I don’t do the club scene and would not want a man I met in the club. Another way to meet the opposite sex is at social functions (weddings, church function, sporting events). Please use caution because as someone stated earlier “dating sucks in Atlanta”. There are some psychos out there. You must protect yourself and children (if you have them).

Frankly, I think Atlanta is the absolute worst place for a single person wanting a relationship or marriage to live! I honestly believe that had I lived in another city I would be happily married to a good, straight man! For example, I met a guy a week ago that promised me that he was not married or in a relationship…imagine my surprise when I get an email from his WIFE!!!!!!!

I have tried the online dating scene, but all I met were horny men thinking they could score because they believed that all women online were desparate!

All the good men are already married or in a relationship, and us single women are left with the crumbs and scrubs….

this is a good topic. I think you can meet someone just about anywhere, but alot of the times women & men have certain “expectations” as far as looks, salary requirements,etc… the list goes on & on. I used to be stuck on a guys looks, but i’ve matured & dated many different guys & i felt really silly having passed up dates because of something so shallow as a person’s looks or assuming that he doesnt have a large bank account.. hell, neither do I!! I dont go “looking for love”, but if it should happen to find me, I’m game. By the way, I dont do the club scene anymore, however i do like the jazz lounges & I like to party to old school every now & then.

I agree that Atlanta is a horrible place to date. Too many posers and shallow people. I also agree that all of the good ones that aren’t taken stay at home. Even in grocery stores the good women don’t even take the time to make eye contact and smile. Too jaded and tired of the game. Guys, we did this to ourselves!

A lot of it depends on what you’re looking for. The bar scene is old for many and the numbers of players on the scene both male and female are daunting! But I was looking for a church home and came upon First Baptist Atlanta. The singles ministry has over 200 members and is a great place just to meet friends. I wouldn’t recommend going with the sole purpose of finding a mate, but it’s a great place to find people with similar interests and who knows what can happen next…

Great Expectations may be a rip off, but it worked for me. I had three good dates, married the third one. That was about 15 years ago.

These services may have a bad reputation, but they save you LOTS of time and grief.

I can’t count the number of times I would meet somebody and OOPS, she’s married, or OOPS, she’s got more emotional baggage than Drew Barrymore and the mental state of Glen Close in ‘Fatal Attraction’ (wabbit stew, anyone? :)

These services work just like a job interview… you can quickly figure out if the person has the right personality, intellligence level, and even marital status you’re looking for.

No, I don’t work for them, or any other service.

LOL @Travis, people are too hung up on what you weigh, if you’re happy/healthy and proportioned, I say go for it. You’ll miss your soulmate cause s/he wasn’t thin enough.

Travis I like fat people. I am fat myself. But I don’t come to the gym trying to spit game where I can’t even hold my head up on the treadmill. I don’t come to the gym with makeup and my best weave on just to come and find my baby daddy. I have nothing against over fat people but I am not trying to get it on with someone who weighs 500lbs either. The love making would be impossible!

@Dr. G, I was at Rare Friday night. The crowd was decent, but the service!! Oh, the service was horrible, I’ve had issues with extra charges on my card from Friday night. It’s small and quaint, good vibe but I don’t think I’ll be back.

If you really want to meet a mate, the first you need to do is love yourself. No one is going to want to be with you if you don’t like yourself to begin with.

Second thing is you need to have an interest, or two, or three, and become involved in things that involve other people.

Once you have that in place the rest will happen, but it’s not an instant thing. There is no majic bullet, no wonder website, no sure fire formulia. Just be yourself, and if you like your self and are confident about it, it will show.

Now that is what’s attractive. It’s often about attraction and not always about promotion, although you’ll need to help out with a bit of that as well.

Without a doubt…The Double Tree on Windy Hill Rd. Wednesday evenings. If you’re looking to meet mature 30 and up women try there. My friends and I are always complaining that there’s nothing but women there but the appetizers are free. We need men to come hang out to make it more interesting.

women Church, Home Depot or Lowes, hardware stores and the gym are good places to see/meet men.

Men Church, nail salon (get your hands done) gym, cultural functions like Martinis & Imax, High museum, the mall. You have to go where the oppostites interests are.

I moved to Atlanta in May. I’ve never run across so many players out for one thing in my life. That said, I did meet one nice guy on match and have made several friends through myspace.

The only men at church are either married or gay! The online thing is crazy…it takes too much time to filter out the crazies or the ones that are just on there for entertainment. Plus, there is nothing like the look across the room and the butterflys in the stomach. That’s the whole majic of dating! And who says that everyone guy you meet and have a drink with has to be husband material? Loosen up and stop feeling so desperate. We’re outnumbered girls (especially us black women!) so muster up the courage to realize that it just aint gonna happen for some of us, and start working on SELF!

Unfortunately Atlanta is not a good “singles town.” I have lived in Miami, San Fransico & Washington D.C. and these cities have much more to offer the 30+ singles crowd. Atlanta is geared to a much younger clientel. I remember the old “Otto’s” in Buckhead when people dressed up and there was a great mix of age, race and wealth. Since it’s demise, I don’t know a single place to meet attractive women anymore. The gym has a major disadvantage in that if you meet and go out with someone and it doesn’t work out- It can be awkward running into that person again.

Good luck to all and I hope the situation improves!

…wait, excuse me, but “church”?…what kind of loser are you looking for?? Church? Does intelligence matter? Church?? in Atlanta? Church?? What a waste of time…think about it- do you really want to meet someone who lives in a fairy-tale land called….church…..the word even looks ridiculous when spelled…. c-h-u-r-c-h….sorta like b-u-l-l-s-h-*-t….get it?
