Um, I just want to point out that those cell phone apps like Tinder and the Plenty of Fish website are well known to be hook up sites. I was on PoF myself and only got numerous offers for $exual encounters - most in return for money. That is what they are like where I live anyway. Much more legit are sites like eHarmony and Match - probably because you pay for them.

Support Groups are a great place to socialize. A great many people here have also recommended something called 'MeetUp' online. It is not a dating site rather a way to meet people who share same interests.
