Has anyone ever met anyone playing a game or some other way besides online dating sites?

Of course......

Bowling, shopping, dancing, sitting at the bar, walking down the street..... there are so many other ways than online dating. For most here, it's just another avenue, not the ONLY one to meet people!!

I think she means meet someone ONLINE through other means than a dating service.

Of course, the best way is getting drunk in a bar (joke).

The last guy I met and am dating I met thru a friend – her cousin (she fixed us up). I leave all doors open i.e. on line dating, grocery stores, friends (fix ups) – you never know.

Oh, well in that case, you can play online games and/or a chat room to meet people.

I continue to run into people who have met their spouse or significant other through set-ups (blind dates). So far, that has not panned out for me. I am still gun-shy about anymore set-ups, although I have a couple offers on the table from friends who want me to meet someone. One friend is the same gal who set-up the very bad blind date back in April.

There is nothing wrong with meeting someone online, but I have been doing this for 6 months now with no real success (so far). It would help if the men I met were just as serious about finding someone as I was. Most of them seem to have put their profiles on out of curiosity or just for kicks. Surely there are some who are sincere and don't want to play games. Hearing those e-harmony commercials doesn't do much for my ego at the present time. :0 I wonder how many disasters there are with e-harmony? You don't hear the commercials about those. LOL
