Well, the title is true. I was in a terrible relationship for 5 years, but have been single for a year now. I'm content with being single, but would love to have someone to share life's experiences with, ya know? I've tried the bar scene.... but I don't really want to meet a guy that goes out to bars all the time. Just isn't my style. I go to the batting cages... but it's mostly women that seem to go. At the gym?.. Ha! Like any of those guys would ever be interested in someone like myself (at my current weight, even though I'm working on it). Grocery store, book stores, coffee shops, etc.... no-go. So where on earth do I go?!
I had even resorted to PlentyOfFish. Worst experience EVER. :noway: I also will never resort to Craigslist.
It's not like I don't get out and do stuff... because I definitely do. I guess maybe I'm looking for other opinions on where to meet guys?
I'm a pretty chill girl. Sarcastic, witty, nerdy, silly.... but genuine. I'm into movies, books, photography, music, coffee...etc. It's hard to NOT have a common interest with someone. I'm independent, financially stable, have a job I love...yet I don't meet anyone.
What's up with that?
(Please don't offer me a glass of water. I'm not thirsty by any means. Just looking for suggestions)
Anyways, have a great day. And I appreciate those who take the time to read and reply
:flowerforyou:
Best regards,
Samantha

Hi Samantha, I completely understand. It is possible to meet men in the gym, but you have to have more confidence in that. Personally, I quit doing the bar scene because that's where I met my last two exes and they both cheated on me and drank like fish. I was told to find social "clubs" or start a social "club". I don't know how populated your area is, but I live in a very rural area which makes me harder. Good luck0

I don't know but if you figure it out, let me know.
I agree with you on all of your points!
I tried the online dating thing but was too freakin chicken to meet up with any of them in person. I think I would prefer to meet a man in person first... That way I know he is interested from the beginning.0 -
I've been too chicken too. The two or three times I wanted to meet them they disappeared the week before

I plan on starting baseball again. There's a co-ed summer league starting, but I'm not sure if I'll have time so playing in the park or heading to the cages0 -
I usually try to meet girls at the gym. I haven't done too well with online dating. Girls don't usually respond to my messages.0

I need to know the answer to this too!
I'm on pof too, but I can't keep up with it. I don't make good decisions when I go out drinking, so the bars not a good idea for me to meet a man. lol So really, where do you go to meet someone??0 -

Me either, and POF was so bad I started a blog about dating online. (www.datingisdangerous.com)
Part of my problem is I work far too much. But even then, some of my jobs are prime for meeting people.
I try to go to meetups though they are often a drive for me. But have had a date or two from that.
Events and Adventures (a social club) is a rip off. They wanted something like $2300 for one year....ridiculous!0 -

want to go grab a drink hehe
On a serious note my plan for meeting somone is the following: I am doing more activities that I enjoy, racquetball league, hiking, bowling league, shooting range, and other outdoor things. The hard part is while doing these activites I MUST talk to ladies and get to know them.0 -
I have recently tried on-line dating. After studying what women are looking for I decided to open my profile with:
"I am not athletic and toned, I do not make $100,000+ , and I live 3 hours from the beach so I normally don't take long walks there.
If you are still reading this......."
Surely none of these women are so shallow that they are only looking for a rich hunk, so all I can think of is that it must be the distance from the beach that's keeping them away in droves. .:ohwell:0 -
church, can i get an amen!!0

Just don't open up with "Hey Sweetheart, what's your name?"0 -
I don't know the type of area that you are in, but for me, I have had success with meetup groups (meetup.com). I just joined a few groups of varying interests and try to attend those. The people in them vary in age and single status, but at least we have some common interests rights off the bat.
Example...played trampoline dodgeball with the meetup group which was a ton of fun. Accidentally hit a girl in the head with a ball (can't exactly aim for head shots when hopping on trampolines), and I felt really bad about it. So bought her a drink after and we dated off and on for a while.0 -
