It depends, really. Everyone here is saying get out and meet people, but your going to get almost the same results depending on where you look. for instance clubs are a great example of meeting somone out there in "the real world" that will most likely not end in the best way if your looking for a serious committed relationship.... but other "real world" places arent a sure fire bet either... , I've met women in bookstores, supermarkets, church, and parks that were absolutely CRAZY and much worse then any girl I've met in a club, gym, or even online..
your going to meet a lot of idiots... no doubt, they'll be right for someone ..just not right for you...and don't let the people who knock the online dating phase you... I met my fiancee that way.... granted its not the ideal way to meet, but with my career it was the best way for me to do it... and honestly in the end no one is going to care how you met... all they're going to say is wow, thats an awesome relationship they have....thats the type of relationship I want.
I'm going to go out on a strech and say that you're focusing looking online, which is fine... but you have to change where you look. You want to look where people are focused on what they can offer and what they expect in a partner..rather then what they think someone wants to hear... eharmony.com is a good place to start if your going to do the online thing.... its a little expensive but its quality for someone that is done playing around and wants to really find someone they can have a serious relationship with....
I'd also recommend expanding your network of friends.. ...theres lots of single groups that set up dates for groups of people..and not your typicall speed dating or wine and cheese get toghter wher eyou have to approach others... more like white water rafting.. groups of people having to work together in teams.. you'll meet alot of people like that, and the best part is its not awkward... your going to have a great time..and in the process you'll meet a lot of great people.... who knows you might find that serious person that your looking for... thats how it usually happens... when your not looking for it... it lands right in your lap =)

Your chances of finding a serious relationship on-line is slim and none. If you want a relationship turn the computer off, go outside and meet people. Then open your mouth and talk (not pick up lines), make general conversations with the people you see like at the store (specially the older people). Simple how are you doing and nice weather we're having, so you don't come off as a cold fish. And soon people will be talking about you as the nice young lady (or man) down the street, to other young people they think is nice.

The best way to meet someone with the same interests and ideals as you is to go out and do what you love, you'll be surrounded by people who like the same thing and from there you'll meet someone. Maybe not right away but eventually you will. Every time I go out to some place I meet new people, some become friends others don't, but have a positive attitude and a friendly demeanor and you'll attract people to you.

Get out the house and go meet people and find them that way.

c g has it right. You are better off visiting the library, church, the mall, bookstores than you are trying to meet someone online.

probably not on the internet!...look for one in church, you'll probably find a nice one there :)
but seriously, my ex-friend michelle used to use all the online dating sites just to get guys to sleep with for a night....yeah, shes a big whoree but those are they types of chicks using those sites, so naturally guys are gonna do the same thing if even girlz do it.......

Smetimes in your religious organization, the gym or sign up for some classes of your interest. That way you at least have something in common.

Try meeting people in real life....It's so hard to tell whether people are for real on the internet......There are some success stories but, i still don't trust it.......
