Hi starrysky,

I think it's great that you're taking a break from the world of online dating. There are definitely better ways to combat your loneliness than using online dating.

I like divine and scaredandconfused's suggestions to you. Meetup is a great way to stop feeling lonely because you get to meet other people who share your same interests.

You never know, you may meet someone in a Meetup group that you join, to date. You increase your dating odds when you participate in more groups like the ones available through social networking websites like Meetup.

I hope you find something that works for you. Good luck!
