In the past the best way to meet new people would be to go down to the local pub or post office and hope you bump into someone that interests you. This was and is in some ways the best way to make new friends, however in today's .com days there are a multitude of on-line properties where you can do this without even leaving your home.
If you are looking to date, the best way is often to join one of the large dating sites such as match.com etc as these have advertising on TV and a large audience. The downside to this method is that it costs money on a monthly fee basis. The other thing is that the people who use these sites are often people who find it difficult to meet people in the real world and maybe lack certain social skills.
To get round the chance you will join and pay a dating site just to meet people who are maybe not as outgoing or confident as you are, you could join a social community site focussed on interests and hobbies. Most members of these sites are just there to share interests and chat on a friendly basis. The chances are that a lot of the members on these kinds of sites are in fact single and potentially looking but unlike dating sites, they are not all grouped in one place. It is a more organic way to meet new people and the chances of you meeting someone that shares your hobbies and interests is greater.
The main thing to remember, which ever way you choose to go is to have fun and keep your wits about you. As long as you are sure that the people you talk to are genuine and friendly then you are sure to meet some great new friends.
