I have been out of the dating "loop" for a good many years but I will tell you what I think is the best way. If your friends do not perceive you as a jerk then your best bet is to network through your current circles of friends. Let it be known that you are looking for a nice girl and you would be surprised how many people will know somebody that they could potentially set you up with. But..... if you have a bad reputation with your friends of being a user or abuser of women then forget about this route.
