		The best method I have found has been through Personal Ads.
	The best source I have found is a little (and I mean little) service
	called Magical Moments. I had a six month subscription to their
	"newsletter" (actually just a computer printed listing of ads) and,
	alas, when the subscription ends, I will NOT be renewing. The second
	person I met and I hit it off right from the first meeting.

		The listing varies month to month (this month's has about
	25 ads) with some months having as few as 12 ads and some months
	having over 100 ads. As far as responses - my friend said her first
	ad brought in 2 responses and her second brought in over 30 ( I
	never placed an ad myself) out of these responses, she answered 3
	(don't know if this is typical just giving the facts).

		The price is very low compared to some of the "dating
	services" (6 issues for $5.00, ads are about $5.00 and it costs
	$2.00 to reply to an ad) and the turnaround time is VERY fast
	(they promise to forward your response in 24 hours and I beleive
	they do because I heard from 2 out of the three people I wrote to
	in less then a week).

		The address is Box 6928 Piscataway, NJ 08854 and if I
	remember correctly, if you send a SASE and request info they will
	send you some sample ads and a coupon for a discount on your first ad
	(at least they used to - don't know anyone who wrote recently)


	DISCLAIMER: This is not an ad - just the opinions of a satisfied
		    customer (very satisfied). These opinions are not
		    valid for employees of CBS or members of their
		    immediate family.
