San Francisco dating can be tough if you're new to town-most people here set themselves up in social circles they don't stray from, and then there are others who simply turn their noses up at newcomers. Don't fret too much though, for there are plenty of great dating services throughout the Bay Area for singles to check out. Peruse our selective guide to the best San Francisco dating services and never spend another Saturday night alone.

Baydate.com is the Bay Area's "exclusive free online dating community" allows registered members to post advertisements in such categories as Men Seeking Women, Women Seeking Men, Single Parents, Interracial, Senior, Just Friends, and Clean and Sober. There are also chat rooms to enter for conversation on all things dating, plus fun polls to participate in that focus on such issues as the perfect first date and what time of the day a first date should occur.

Table for Six is a unique singles service which sets three single men and three single women up together for dinner out at an "upscale, moderately priced, well located" restaurant with the hopes of having sparks fly between each pairing (the interests and likes of all people involved are strategically arranged before the dinner happens). Founded in 1997 by relationship expert and talk show mainstay Julie Paiva, Table for Six has an excellent track record of connecting compatible men and women-350 marriages have come out of Table for Six, and 75 new participants get connected each week! In addition to dinners, the service also has indoor and outdoor activities for groups of like-minded singles, including cooking classes, hiking excursions, and even tequila tastings! You can fill out the short questionnaire at their website to get started, or call the toll-free number (888) 640-4646 to learn more.
