1. Online
The absolute takeover of dating in the digital age is complete, and now the place to find love is online. What was once seen as taboo is now the first choice for singles on the dating scene. Whether you troll the Gatewaymacon Facebook comments to see who is going out this weekend, or you sign up on a dating site, there are plenty of available singles ready to meet you online. Here in Central Georgia we recommend Match.com and if you are more adventurous then try Plentyoffish.com. There are lots of rules to online dating and we hope to have our TOP 5 Online Dating tips posted soon!
2. The bar
Don’t believe that love can be found at the bar? Just ask Jerry and Tori Jennings who now own the bar where they first met. With the help of a little liquid courage, the bar scene is a great place to meet someone new. If you need more tips, then head over to The Tractor Room @ Twang and ask Jerry and Tori about their love story.

3. The Market
The grocery store is still a place to meet singles. One of our gatekeepers found love at Kroger, and has been singing the praises of grocery stores ever since. If grocery stores are not your thing, then head over to the Mulberry Market each Wednesday in Tattnall Square Park to meet some great Maconites who just might be your match.
4. Church
Being in the heart of the Bible Belt makes church the place to meet new people. With more churches per square mile than people to attend them , there are countless congregations where you future spouse might be waiting. Churches have lots of social events that allow you to get to know singles in the area that share your values.
5. The Coffee Shop
A coffee shop is the G-rated version of the bar scene. We guess buying someone a latte is seen as more romantic than buying someone a shot. The great thing about this hot spot is that if you don’t meet anyone there, you can always use the free wi-fi to check your online dating profile. Locally, we recommend Jittery Joes in Mercer Village and Taste & See coffee downtown. Starbucks is always crowded and makes a great choice as well.
