Even though some people feel that newspaper dating ads are a thing of the past, you can still find a great companion that way. In recent years, it seems that the older crowd is using these classifieds more than the younger crowd. And the reason for this is that younger people spend most of their time on the internet, so they also use the internet in order to find dates. Older people who are not as familiar with the internet tend to use the newspaper classifieds in order to find dates.

Before the advent of the internet this was the king of the dating world. If you did not want to venture out into the world to find a date, you would answer personal ads in your local newspaper. And believe it or not this method worked for a lot of people. And it still does. Placing an ad in the newspaper is a great way to meet new people.

All you need to do is write up a brief profile and send it to the paper. The cost of running an ad is usually very small, and well worth the investment. If you are not having luck online, try newspaper classifieds. This is a tried and true method of dating!
