I've tried personal ads, meeting people online, asking friends to set me up, even community groups. Am I doomed to be single? I'm average looking, a few extra lbs which I am working on...a great job, I'm getting my own place soon, and I have a lot of friends. I'm 26.

Stop looking and Mr. Right will find you.
Until my Mr. Right found me, I was 28, full time job, brand new car, lots of money in the bank, but living with mom and dad, 5'9", 225 lbs, depressed, desperate, drinking too much, etc.
Then, I just gave up on finding Mr. Right. I started to diet, I lost 25 pounds, I cut back on drinking, I started exercising, I developed other interests besides a constant search for Mr. Right. And then, Scott came along, everything I have ever wanted in a man (almost, anyway, there is NO perfect man), I moved in with him, I quit my job, I've gone back to school, I am so much happier than I was even 6 months ago.
Give it time, I didn't find my Mr. Right until I was almost 29, and he is 51...think about how long he waited for me!
Your only 26, have fun while you still can.
And don't think that being with Mr. Right is going to solve all your problems because even with the best man, if you are not happy with yourself, there is nothing that a relationship will do to make you happier.

Try volunteering at the local LGBT center if your city is large enough to have one. Also at your local center, check for interest groups like hiking, bowling, church, cooking, cycling - there are usually lots of groups that form around common interests. You'll more than likely find someone you find compatible that way anyway because you'll start off with something in common.
But having tried the same things you mentioned, I can say you are 100% right - it's hard to meet anyone of quality that way at all. Good luck.

I believe there just not the right time and not the right opportunities yet for you to find someone, it just a destiny, I'm sure you'll find someone when you going on public like school and other places, and absolutely these method like asking friends for help or set up to meet at a place is not a good thing to find love. When they come they'll come, don't worries.

It may sound like a cliché, but maybe it is because you're trying too hard?
Sometimes a great person comes into our lives when we are least trying.
In the meantime, focus on all the good things going on for you.
I guess, everyone (bi, hetero, straight) has the very same problem!

you and the rest of the world haven't had a good date in a long time, don't listen to the people asking you "have you tried going straight?", like there aren't people who aren't straight who haven't been on a good date for a long time.

Even straight ppl have trouble in the dating department.Don't worry...your time will come just don't give up.
My friend joined E-Harmony and so far it's working out pretty well.

You're trying to hard, and just for the record it really doesn't matter gay or straight we all struggle to find a partner! :) Best of luck!
