In all honesty, you should try MySpace. Its a good way to find people in your area.

I use it just because all my friends do. Ever since I put up that picture of my clothed butt I've gotten people hitting on me, which is fun because I just respond to their innuendos as though I had no idea if what they were talking about. Like some guy asked me to "play" with him and I asked if he had WarioWare. xD

Mandee got a really neat admirer on there. That guy was hilarious.

Srsly though, try it out. It's free, and at the very least you can use it to talk to friends on.
