How can I find friends on Craigslist?

I think there is a personals section, though I haven't checked. But there are plenty of dating sites, etc. that might serve the purpose of looking for dates. like the free POF.com

If first meeting with people with a common interest might be more appropriate, try Meetup.com, after you register once, it's super simple to sign in to different groups and receive their email announcements, etc. every possible interest is covered there. you can search for all events within so many miles of your location.
