Online Dating Blog

Well here is my situation.. I feel like I’m caught in a little catch-22.
I had just recently gotten out of a 1 year relationship about 3 months ago. I’m still in love with the girl, I’ve tried a lot to patch things over, nearly everything.. but she insists that it’s over and there is nothing to work out. She started dating someone else a few weeks after me, I came to find out the new guy was one reason we had broken up.. She had been talking to him the last couple of months we were together behind my back. This really isn’t my problem though.. although I still have feelings for her I’m at terms to accepting it and am ready to move on. My previous girlfriends all share something in common, I have met them all through friends of friends, or I had worked with them. Which is kind of where I’m in a bind. The current place I work at, I don’t have any co-workers I’m interested in.. And most of my friends are also my ex-girlfriends friends. So naturally I haven’t been hanging out with most of them to avoid running into my ex; we also had a pretty bad breakup so it’s kind of awkward being around them. I have thought about going to bars, but I’m not much of a drinker. Likewise, I think its nearly impossible to meet “the love of your life” at a bar. Since I’m not much of a drinker, I don’t want to meet a girl that likes to drink.. I’ve thought about doing this “online dating” thing but it’s not really for me.. I’ve looked at Plentyoffish and Okcupid and again, it’s not really for me.. and I haven’t exactly found what I’m looking for. I’m a firm believer in that “You meet someone when your not looking for them”, but as of now I’ve been down in the dumps trying to get over my ex, and it’s pretty difficult being alone and not having someone else to preoccupy my time. I’m not the type of guy that HAS to constantly be in a relationship, but the companionship makes me feel a lot better then being alone all the time. So I guess my question is, what’s a good way to find someone who’s in the same boat as me? Again I’m not into the online dating scene.. some of the girls I have talked too seem to have some problems, that’s probably why the resorted to trying to date online.. And I don’t want to “fall in love” with someone at a bar..
