help! w/finding sim home in SL&Avatar is single

I have been in Sl for three months give or take a few weeks. However I haven't been able to find a Sim home. Currently my avatar goes to Toxian City however it would like a futrustic Sim or Role playing game in Second Life. On the other half my Avatar hasn't had any luck in the romance department. Need help. thanks.

Yesterday I did a search for renting properties and I came across hundreds of rentals. Just go to Search > Classifieds. THen in Classifieds click on the Any Category and click on Property Rental. If you want a more specific Property Rental put something in the Find Field. If you want a land rental then instead of Property Rental click Land Rental.

Hope this helps!

There's SL roleplaying and there's SL romance, and never the twain shall meet.

In roleplaying you have storylines, plot, themes, alts, and character development that has nothing to do with reality. Good roleplay requires some emotional distance and equilibrium, too, the opposite of romance.

From what I've seen, most people consider SL romance to be the same as online dating, which isn't what roleplay is at all.

Hi Delilah,
Edward is right; you can rent a parcel pretty much anywhere in the grid; there are two main ways to do it. You can rent from Linden Lab and pay a monthly "tier" to LL in US Dollars, or you can rent from another resident, and pay your weekly or monthly rent to that resident, either in L$ or through PayPal. Check under Search/Land Sales for both rentals and "sales."

Regarding romance... you know it's not really necessary in SL, right? Thousands of people exist quite happily without a "significant other" or partner. There is so much to do in SL that you don't really NEED romance. It sounds like you might just be looking for a group of friends to really click with. Try joining groups that interest you (renaissance roleplay? racecars? The old west?, etc) or if you just want to hang out and chat with some fun people, feel free to stop by the Forum Cartel Hangout. Sometimes it's empty but there is usually someone there.

Just like RL - concentrate on doing the things you enjoy doing and meeting other people at those activities. Search the Groups for things that interest you. If you have a desire to create, take classes. Explore the world - the types of sims that you are interested in -- again use the Search feature to help you find places.

I have found that SL is like RL in some ways, with one of those ways being - the more you are looking for romance, the less likely you are to find it.
