Smile Another viewpoint...and suggestion.

Actually Cha3, there already are groups for singles where sex is neither here nor there, as their intent is to share having a good time doing something that they enjoy (like golf, eating out, arts, dancing, visiting somewhere, etc.) In the Villages, for example, there are such groups or clubs as the Villages Convertible Club (but you need to have a convertible car), or the American Singles Golf Association (Villages Chapter), or the MeetUp groups (not necessarily limited to Villagers), etc, etc. That said, other groups and dating websites are not geared toward celibacy,(probably 99.9+% of them (at least I have not found a single (no pun intended) other profile on POF that is... other than yours). So, perhaps if you are seeking to meet people who are also celibate until marriage, POF may not be the best place to be looking. I would stick to the local activity groups that are focused on the activities that they promote (be that sports, arts, cuisine, etc) and not so much 'dating'... or to singles groups in a church as Carm310 suggested.. Best of luck in your search. Your profile does not mention an interest in golf, so the ASGA probably would not interest you. I would suggest that you read the Recreation News (comes in the Thursday Happy News, or can be obtained at any of the Rec. Centers) and there look up all the clubs and groups that are having a meeting in that coming week, and thereby select the ones that appeal to you, and call their coordinator, Membership Chair or Social Chair (listed contact name and number) and talk to them as to whether you and their members would make a good fit. Chances are in The Villages it will always be yes, as noone has to do anything here, that they don't want to, and most people are OK with that. Even those like me that are looking for a wife or S.O. for a committed and monogamous relationship, but are not celibate, will be very frank with you, but also respect your right to choose your conscience. If you need any help in locating groups, write and I will be glad to help you get in touch with them. Oh... and you can usually also go to sit at one of their meetings before deciding to join them or not. Best wishes.
