Dating outside of online
I'm taking some time out from dating until probably closer to summer. I need the chance to get in to my house and get use to being on my own again. With that said, I'm really burnt out from online dating. What are some other options for meeting people? I work full time (98 % women), I go to school full time online, and I'm a single parent. Obviously hanging out at bars all the time is not practical for me, however I can get a night or two out a month by getting a sitter. What other options would you suggest?

I have never done online & have not had issues meeting anyone. I meet people at bars, the gym, through friends, and lastly at a GD cover band concert.
I just hear horror stories about online. I have no desire.
PPs are all right. Pursue things you're interested in, and make it social. Sign up for stuff. Go places. Bring a book to a crowded coffee shop and strike up a conversation with someone you find interesting.
I know you said that you're taking online classes -- which is less social. But, do you ever communicate with your classmates? Maybe try setting up some sort of study group or something, and invite a bunch of folks. You all have a common interest, and you very well might walk away with new friends or new prospects.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Something that interests you will be best because you can have fun and meet new people. I play in a co-ed adult volleyball league. I also just signed up for a boxing gym (co-ed) and a yoga/pilates gym (not likely to meet many men but you never know).
I'm a believer in that you'll find someone when you're having fun and happy and enjoying yourself.
I am not looking to date anyone but I have met so many men via volunteering. I volunteer with a local shelter that provides services for those starting over in life and there are various tasks that range from lanscaping, painting, food pantry to child care. Some I can do with my DS.
I also go to the 20s and 30's groups events in my city and we do events like games night, winter formal dinners, monster truck shows, all sorts of stuff.
