Ok ladies.... question
ok not this may sound weird me asking this, but i have not been on many dates.... only went out with 2 people. one i had 1 date and the other lasted 7 1/2 years and just recently ended.... so since i have not had much experience in this area.... where would be the best place to meet women, and since i am a very shy person, how do i pick up if they might have any interest in actually getting to know me....

Don't go looking for the person...just start trying new things you might enjoy and see what happens. Take a class at a community college that sounds interesting (cooking, literature w/e your into) and since most of the people there will clearly like the subject as well, you'll already have something in common. Just take the class at night if you want to meet people older than 20 haha. and try to find out if the course is required for a lot of degrees or an elective!0

Definitely get out and get involved in your community. Never hurts to make new guy friends. I'm sure some of them will have some single female friends.
Just get out, do something different and have some fun.
Good luck!0 -
awww this is a sweet post. honestly, women are EVERYWHERE! be ready for the approach where ever you are. my best friend and i found our spouses when we werent trying. good luck..:bigsmile:0

I met my finace when he was a regular customer at the starbucks I worked at a few years ago! That being said I wouldn't count on every barista being single to start with (and it can sound odd to be asked that by a customer). Try the gym maybe? Perhaps there is someone who already has their sights on you there and you can help each other out! (Mention MFP! I found out from someone who was at the gym and I couldn't be more thankful!) Good luck! I'm positive you will find someone perfect for you!0

Have you heard the saying "Do what you Love and the money will follow"? I think the same applies to dating. If you go looking for someone in a place you don't like to go, you are probably going to meet someone you don't like to date. If you find hobbies and interests of your own, you will meet people with the same interests and have a more solid start to a relationship.
And as pp mentioned, you like MFP so....
Good Luck :happy:0 -

Have you ever thought about trying an online dating service? I've never tried it but I've had a couple of friends who did and actually wound up happily married.0

Mate, i'm pretty shy myself but women are everywhere!
Just everywhere, I had a 10 min conversation with a women in a supermarket the other day. Never met her before in my life but she gave me her number! (i didn't even ask, she just volunteered it)
Had another one this morning waiting for a bus was talkin to her or a few mins then she said, "I'm going to 99 hanover street <name of a bar> later - maybe i'll see you there ?"
1. still not sent the first woman a text (no idea what to say)
2. no intention of going out tonight to see the second woman (i don't want to go out drinking)
I have no problem meeting women, I just have a problem not ending up in the "friend zone"
Spark up a conversation anywhere, listen to what they have to say, ask pertinent questions, show a genuine interest. Even if it's not someone you'd like to date - it's good practice & good manners.0 -
If I think someone is cute i just ask about something nearby (ask about coffee spots, museums,etc)... Or maybe you could ask a girl at the supermarket some questions about something she's looking at. I think there is nothing wrong with flirting and it can give you a good read on how open a person is. If i can make you smile and laugh while getting produce then we may be perfect. Be open to love and it will find it's way into your life.0

I met my husband on line! 0

Match.com or eHarmony is really not a bad route unless you are very comfortable striking up a conversation with strangers at a regatta gala... I would steer clear of any "free" dating sites though. Creepy...0

on line is where it's at! lol
if you live in a small town in Texas I hope it's not rude to suggest.......church?0 -
my sister has met most of her ex boyfriends and even her 2 ex husbands online through dating sites...... but i dont know.... i tried one over the last week or so and have been ignored by everyone so far.....0
-
i live in a small town in tennessee.... and it is not rude to suggest church.... unfortunately 70+% of the people in my church are elderly and the rest are either children or married couples0

Some churches have activities for singles. You might want to check on that. I understand though. I'm from the south too. Not much to do back home!0

honestly, I met my husband on a free dating site that oddly enough no longer exists....0 -
eHarmony told me I was unmatchable, after I spent all that time answering their questions. :sad:Match.com or eHarmony is really not a bad route unless you are very comfortable striking up a conversation with strangers at a regatta gala...

But I like to think it was b/c hubby was not on eHarmony. He was on Yahoo Personals. That's where we met. :smooched:
happily ever after...0 -
The best advice I ever got about meeting new people was to set a goal to get *turned down* by 50 guys I approached. It really takes the pressure off.
Approach a lady in the supermarket, on the sidewalk, wherever - tell her that she's beautiful and ask if she would be interested in getting coffee sometime.
If she says no - success! If she says yes - a different kind of success.
If your goal is 50 turn-downs I guarantee you'll never reach that number. I will bet you $5! :bigsmile:0 -

I do not actually run. 0 -
