Another place to look for someone is a chat room. This is a good idea if you are not looking for something right away and want to get to know the person first. When you go into chats they have many different topics for websites. You can choose what you feel like discussing that day and talk to people about your issues. Chat rooms are a little riskier because you can meet some very weird people in those.
Some people just scan the chat rooms for people to prey on.
Watch yourself very closely in chat rooms and do not give out any information about yourself. Chat rooms have topics that can tell you a lot about the type of people that are in there. You need to enter chat rooms where the topic appeals to you and is a characteristic that you want in a mate. Be careful of people posing as people that they are not online. Many people pretend to be others and can fool you into chatting with them.
