meeting people post college (or post bar scene, whatever) is a huge pain. i'm 26 and I don't know anyone who dates without the use of the internet -- of course i also live in the silicon valley and work on computer games for a living so i may just be living in the bubble. but I'm still a believer in the theoretical possibility of meeting people in real life... so here's where me and my girlfriends are likely to hang out:
1. cook club (or book club or wine club, or poker night... check out something like yahoo groups for your area and see if there's something that interests you)
2. coffee shops/low key bars (NOT clubs) -- if you can't hear well enough to have a conversation it's not likely to be a good choice.
3. small venue concerts
4. yoga class
5. honestly, the supermarket ain't a bad suggestion, i go there at least twice a week and i have to stand in line bored just waiting for someone to strike up a conversation.
6. if worse comes to worse i met my current and most recent former beau on the personals at
