When you don't drink alcohol, there seems to be a social impediment to meeting others. In my case, I don't smoke and never have, but in American culture, many activities revolve around drinking. This makes meeting ladies difficult at times.

Anyone else encounter this phenomenon?

I used to go to the bars alot, but I rarely drink now, so yes it is harder/different to meet someone. I think the bars is where I was accustomed to meeting women, and didnt do alot of the other things that single women are involved with..ie, the gym, etc.

Yes, you are quite correct - there are other venues.

I went on-line because I don't hang out in bars.

Start visiting other churches. It works for the non smoker, non drinkers. I am not a drunk but enjoy my spirits(no beer) and every once in a while a cigar. To me I am not a drinker and I do not smoke but other see it different.

Judging by the popularity of the "have a drink" threads, I think maybe we're the only non-drinkers on here!

Go to a bowling alley on a cosmic bowl night. There are always plenty of people.
