Munches are an ideal way of getting to know people, and so is using the forums regularly, joining in with the banter and letting people see your personality. It also helps if you make your ad stand out from the rest. You have to remember that there are thousands of single blokes for every couple or single female and you have to make these people want to contact you rather than the other 999!
I wish you all the luck in the world and hope that whatever approach you take, that it works!
