Welcome to the asylum. Enjoy your stay.

I have been on the dating scene on and off for 14 years this year. The key is to do everything that you want to do and not worry about finding someone to do it with! Meetup.com is a great resource to find like-minded people to do things with. It's a Numbers game - and hopefully I'll live long enough to get lucky!

I don't know if finding someone who has similar beliefs is the best approach to a relationship. If that is your criteria, you're often disappointed when you discover differences in their beliefs. While a certain amount of shared interest is good, I would focus more on handling differences of opinion and finding someone else who can handle differences in opinion rather than seeking someone who agrees with your beliefs. It makes for a more solid relationship.
