Let's face it: dating in San Francisco can be tough. Blind dates, trivia nights, missed connections, maybe even shamelessly flaunting your pup at Duboce Park in the hopes of meeting that special someone -- you feel like you've tried it all, right? Enter HowAboutWe.com -- a simple new way to make online dating... well... fun.

HowAboutWe.com is an activity-based dating site. You sign up, make plans, and go out. Every date starts with an idea for an activity. You suggest a date, like: How about we grab some sandwiches for a picnic in Dolores Park? Spend a Saturday morning at the Ferry Building farmers market? Split some beers and pretzels at the Biergarten on a sunny afternoon? Then, if another HowAboutWe.com member is intrigued (and you're intrigued back), you connect, and take it from there. The best part might be that HowAboutWe.com actually saves you time. Unlike with some other sites, you won't waste countless hours exchanging messages with potential matches, trying to get to know each other better before you meet in person. Save that for your first date -- that's what it's for, after all. So if you're single and ready to mingle, give HowAboutWe.com a try, and get out there. And if you do meet that special someone, no need to invite Haighteration to your wedding. (Do feel free to name-drop us in your vows, though.)
