@tfowler: take a class or join some sort of club. meetme.com is a good place to get started with that.0

I like to watch a woman for a few months and start referring to her as my girlfriend before I approach her.0

Youre 39 years old and don't know where to find a date? :huh:
I was married for 14 years... I worked and went home to my family0 -

Don't be put off by online dating. My husband and I met on Match.com almost 4yrs ago and have been together ever since. I also have a friend who met her husband on eHarmony about 7 yrs ago.0

I met my fiance on Facebook. We actually grew up together, but reconnected through FB. Have been dating for 3 years.0

I'm in the same predicament (kinda). Was married, am now divorced and am a single mother with (pretty much) full custody. I work, take care of my kids & work out. THE END!
I agree, it's hard, and I have NO idea how to meet people? I tend to shy away from online dating, but others have had great successes. It's tough, I don't know what to tell you.
If I knew, I probably wouldn't be single either 0 -
I met my husband at an adult sci-fi/fantasy convention, purely by accident. He made a conscious decision after his divorce that he would put himself in situations he'd previously not experienced, such as conventions, cuddle parties, meetups, etc. He met a lot of nice people that way, and he met me. I wish you the best of luck! 0

Really is this comment appropriate?
I have been single for three years and it's hard to find someone considering most of us work full time. I work full time, am in graduate school and just about have enough time for me.
You have a better idea? Are us single people supposed to go out to a bar and meet someone? Last time I checked going out to a bar to meet someone isn't the best idea.
Church? I'm not religious
Online Dating? Not as easy as you think
Grocery Store? Any ideas on how to "meet" someone here

wtf is a "cuddle party" ?0 -
Stay single. Too many gypsies, tramps, and thieves out there!0

Try the NC17 group.0

Why not try some kind of fitness (kickboxing,spinning class etc) or cooking class? Food and nutrition would be something to have in common right?Good luck dude!0

I have a similar history to you. I got married when I was 22 and was married for 6 years, so when we split I didn't know where to start. Don't ignore the online option, I met my boyfriend on okcupid.com and we've been together since March and couldn't be happier! Best of luck to you!0

and why haven't I been to one?0 -
Go do stuff you love! The most attractive trait in my opinion is passion. Someone who is happy, and doing what they love, glows like a damn lighthouse on a gloomy day.
Also friends of friends, parties, just get there and be yourself.0 -
We met in a bar in Turkey.................stayed in touch and the rest is history0

I met my husband on a dating site. It's a nice option for meeting people outside of your traditional social circles. I went on some dud dates before I met him, though, so be persistent!0

My dream woman is all three.0 -
I'd say, simply be open to meeting people and make sure you're putting yourself out there in social situations.
I met my bf at a friend's bday party. I thought he was cute from the moment I got there but spent much of the evening on the other side of the party with firends I already knew well. When my ride was leaving the party was still in full swing so I decided to stay and see how the night went. And I'm ever so happy I did as we ended up chatting, he bought me a drink and the rest is history.0 -
one more year and you get your own movie

Agreed.
"Dating" sounds so easy, until you mix in this little thing called LIFE and work and raising children & figuring out how to "start over" after so many years of being in a marriage. It's disgustingly hard. I haven't been single in over 11 years (before now) and have been now for 1.5 years. I haven't had a single date. I'm also not settling though.
People always tell me they "met someone in a grocery store" wtf? how does that even work? All I ever see are a) the women of the family shopping or b) the men with their family, looking bored as ****.........
No ideas.0 -
Unless you're into nightclubs or lucky enough to bump into someone socially/whilst out shopping etc then online dating or friendship sites probably are your best way to give yourself a wide choice of singletons. It's not always easy but can and does work!0

Go to church....lot's of horny. Well you'll see:drinker:0

Try the NC17 group.
Bah ha ha!0 -
All I hear are excuses.:explode:Youre 39 years old and don't know where to find a date? :huh:

The day I don't make an excuse as to why I can't date a guy, is the day he's probably the one.
Until then........0 -
