Dating Site for Travelers?
A friend of mine just went through a tough break up. He's going through the whole match.com thing right now, but he was curious if there's a site that specializes in singles who love to travel.
Most of the sites he's found so far have been for travel companions you need to pay up front and in cash!

I can't specifically name any sites, but I can say that when I was doing a lot of internet dating, every other ad from described a single who "loved to travel." After ten minutes on Lavalife he'll find hundreds of singles keen on travel.

That's exactly the problem. Everyone who has ever driven on I80 to the local costco puts "loves to travel" in their profile....

Perhaps we should create a thread called "Date a FlyerTalker" in the same spirit as the venerable "Hire a Flyertalker" thread! ^ 
Since my house is a five minute walk to ELP, I can fully say that I love to travel because I drive I-10 to my local Costco (even though there are shorter routes to Costco that do not involve I-10 from my house).

Are you sure it's for a "friend" of yours, or is that friend really YOU ??

There was a company in Toronto that I went to a couple of events that includes singles, group travel itineraries. The company is called Meet Market Adventures, and they have a number of cities that they run events at now, including NYC. I have only been to the local events in Toronto, and not done one of the tours.
It might be worth going on a singles vacation, and perhaps meeting someone that way.

Online dating sites give me the creeps for some reason, so I like to meet women the old-fashioned way.
Why, just a few weeks ago I met some really friendly girls in the bar at an airport Ramada. One of them even asked me if I wanted to go out on a date with her! Too bad it was getting late that evening, or we could’ve gone to the movies or something.

I forget the name of the site, but there was a service started by a FTer a couple of years ago, I think, that allowed agreeable individuals to seek the company of other agreeable individuals who happened to be on the same flights. It got a good deal of press when it started up, but I haven't heard anything about it since then. Anyone recall the name of that site?
