Online dating. There's a few good sites available but most of them you have to shell cash for. They include mysinglefriend.com and match.com. loopylove used to be free. However, plentyoffish is still free. A lot of celebrities are apparently using that as avenue to get a date particularly as they are busy working it and if you can into the elitist asmallworld, you must be well connected!
