Like some people, i have problems meeting other singles, mainly because of the area in which I live. I live in New York, but a very bad part of it. The town is very dangerous (well, its not super bad, but it is bad in its way).
My church (Roman Catholic) do not have singles events or anything. And I do not believe a lot of the parishes in my area do either. And as far as coffee shops, I have not seen many either, well at least not ones to meet singles or something.
How would you meet local singles if you were in my position?
I mean, you might be able to relate. if you can, please feel free to share your thoughts and advice.
Thanks

I've met cool people on the net, and also through travel (mission trips, bible retreats, church picnics, etc). don't be afraid to step out of your routine.

I don't meet other singles. I meet women who are in relationships! Why do they keep throwing signals out like that?! Where are all the single women?

I say if there is no singles group, make one! If you are in a town with multiple parishes, then it's probably big enough to have other singles feeling the same way. Try setting up an event and get it advertised in the bulletins of some of the other churches. Then, see who shows up! Good luck finding other singles....

Good ideas! Also, there are Christian single's cruises occasionally, especially if you're willing to step outside of Catholicism.
I've met other Christian singles at conferences and a church that's not close to home. There was a lady I worked with several years ago who was in a leadership position at her church's single's group, so I considered getting involved there. Also, a cousin invited me to her church's single's event where I met a few more people.
There are more single adults than ever before, but they lead very diverse lives. Find something you're interested in and get involved. If you're interested, perhaps other singles are interested, too.
Oh, and learn how to just go up to people and start conversations - at a grocery store line, at the gas station, at a concert... anywhere. Yep, it's outside of most of our comfort zones, but it's a skill we should all learn.

I just throw myself at them. Works every time j/k.
Actually I don't care anymore. It's fun to have a bunch of friends in the same stage of life as you with the same values, but in some churchs, that sometimes isn't realisitic just because of size.
I've been in two very large churchs - the last one had 20,000 officially and 40,000 (I think) unoffically and most people seemed to be in the 20/30 something category. Massive youth based church basically.
Anyway, when I first went there, I have to say that my eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store. Guys everywhere.
But yeah. It wasn't the right church for me and the joke ended up being on me, because although I stayed there for two years, I probably met around 3 single guys over the entire time. lol. I've known more then that in churchs of 60.
So my motto now is, stop worrying about it and just keep praying and trust God. (I mean I was trusting him before that, but you know, being in that church made it easier for him to hook me up) 
(In case he needed my help)

*packs up to move*
What's funny is I live in an area where there are 4 military bases within 100 miles of me and I work on one of the largest in the Air Force. You'd think there would be an abundance of single Christian guys right? Well, Christian guys is right. But they all married right out of high school! Gah! Back to the drawing board...

There are plenty of single men around here since I'm very near Chicago BUT there are not many CHRISTIAN single men.

I'm starting to feel like the good ones are all taken... not that I'm in a hurry or anything! 
Ha!
But the GOOD single men sure don't seem to be here!!!
