General dating sites are great for those people who fall into the category of "average" and who are looking to meet the same kind of people. But that's not always the case. Here are five niche dating sites that offer something specific for the people whose preferences fall outside of the "norm".



1. Makeout Club - It sounds like just a "hook-up site" but it's actually a place where artists, indie kids and other daydreamers come together for romance.



2. 12MeetSenior.com - At the opposite end of the indie kid spectrum is the elderly. This is an online dating site for older folks who are looking for their special someone.



3. Geek 2 Geek - If what gets you all hot and bothered is someone who has their own podcast and can discuss the nuances of robotics with you, this is your site.



4. Gothic Love Online - Bettie Page bangs, bondage fantasies and an old affection for anne rice are what the singles on this site have in common.



5. Polyamory Connection - Perhaps you're one of the growing number of couples who enjoys existing in an open relationship. But where do you go to find other like-minded folks? An online dating site especially for you, of course.
