Step 1
Check community paper
Check your local community newspaper for classified ads. Many singles understand the lack of suburban singles venues and take out classified ads.

Step 2
Look around
Be on the lookout at your local library, corner store, and grocery store. You can find singles everywhere if you keep your eyes peeled.

Step 3
Socialize with friends
Socialize at suburban friends' parties. Try to get introduced to singles through mutual friends.
-
Step 4
Attend events
Attend wine tastings or join suburban garden clubs to meet singles who share your interests.

Step 5
Go to concerts
Go to concerts that are likely to attract suburban types. Many suburban communities feature concerts in local parks throughout the summer months.
-
Online dating and social networking sites can allow you to meet a fellow suburbanite with whom you can communicate before actually dating.
-
Step 6
Join a church or synagogue
Many places of worship have a newsletter or bulletin in which they advertise happenings geared toward single members of the congregation.
-
Though speed dating doesn't guarantee you a suburban partner, it allows you to meet someone for a couple minutes and then move on.
-
Step 7
Play team sports
Play sports on a local team, even if you're not athletic. Bowling counts.
-
Step 8
Go to bars
Go to suburban bars and clubs. When people say they're tired of the bar scene, they usually mean they've exhausted the market.
