Similar to the hobbies and special interests we all have are our political, religious and/or spiritual affiliations. Many groups that fall into this category also have single sub-sections for their members looking for a mate, whose special events are excellent places to meet people. There are even specific volunteer organizations geared only towards singles that you can join, knowing that while you are donating your time to a worthy cause, you'll also be expanding your personal network to include other, like minded singles also looking for a date.
