Every day crowds of AmericanSingles.com members are getting together to hang out, shoot the breeze, and have some fun. They always meet in the same spot and many of the same faces can be seen day in and day out. The atmosphere is casual and everyone is invited—including you. Interested in joining the party? Well, you don't have to go far. Just login to AmericanSingles.com, duck into the chat room, and let the adventure begin.

Now, if you're a Newbie (someone new to chat rooms), it may take some getting used to—cyber-chat is fast and many phrases have been pared down into short and simple acronyms.

IAE (in any event), once you get it down, you'll find that the chat room is a great way to make new friends and maybe even find your next BF (boyfriend), GF (girlfriend) or SO (significant other). What's nice is that you can get to know each other B4 (before) you meet F2F (face to face) IRL (in real life). And BTW (by the way), the AmericanSingles.com chat rooms are unlike any other because you can see who you're talking to by looking up their profile. So WTH (what the heck), GA (go ahead) and give it a whirl, even if it's just FYA (for your amusement) or to ask someone WU (what's up?)? Everyone seems to be having a blast, and people tell us that they're often ROTFL (rolling on the floor laughing), LOL (laughing out loud), or LIS (laughing in silence), IYKWIM (if you know what I mean).

If you're SITD (still in the dark), check out this dictionary of acronyms and then try to DIY (Do It Yourself) in the chat room. TTFN (ta ta for now) and GL (good luck).
