    As a 22 y/o single lady, its difficult to meet nice guys

    where do u meet people?! it feels like such a task! (harder than getting fit hahaha)

    Don't go looking or expect to be found; Relax .... Start here, see what you'll like, purchase a ticket if you have to and have fun!

    I've found it's difficult to keep from meeting people.

    I had a much harder time meeting people when I was young than now, so I feel you. However, what worked for me when I was your age was getting a part-time job a couple night shifts as a bartender in a local bar/restaurant. and then I met lots of people through work (friends, too...co-workers), and I had extra $$ on the side. It's hard not to be social in the hospitality industry!

    I think it's disappointing that everyone is trying to act like there is something wrong with you for not knowing how to meet people. I think it's good that you're asking. :flowerforyou:

    thanks for understanding :)

    (note: I don't feel attacked but don't just assume that young = easy to meet people! plus i dont care to date randoms, im mature for my age haha)

    Meeting people is difficult. Especially for young people when everyone has their head turned toward their phone rather than try to make conversation.

    I have a few friends who are shy and my ex is SUPER shy around others - and they've all been trying to go out and meet people. I think it's easier for me because I am the super friendly sort. They? Much less likely to start a random conversation regarding superheroes or funny t-shirts at their coffee shop. They've been having a much harder time.

    That being said, a customer service job/volunteer work will offer the opportunity to meet people. Maybe. Ideally. Hopefully.

    The gym (classes are great places to start) volunteer programs, college (take some night classes if you're already finished) church, parties, dog parks, the grocery store or mall (hot guys gotta shop, too!).

    do girls really meet that many men in gym classes?

    Meeting the right "type" of people is hard these days. I am 31, and divorced, and things have changed since the last time i was dating...and I hated it then. I would find places that interest you and look for groups that you have interests in. Be it book clubs, running groups, craft groups, etc..Meeting people with similar interests, to me, seems like the best thing to do.
    Since you just moved, try using facebook to see if there are any groups in your area. And I wouldn't use Tinder right off the bat in a new area. It sounds to me like you're looking for friends first, right?

    I dont mean to be a brat but at 22 I wasnt worried about meeting someone...It will happen organic style. Having fun... hahah.

    Now 28 with expectations of a certain lifestyle, and future. I think I am very unprepared. I feel like I am too young to change some deal breakers...
    The way I used to meet people going out with friends doesnt work now I am too old to party and meet people like I used to. I mean I still party and have a good time, but those guys I meet are generally not looking for a "real relationship"....they are looking for "fun". (Or they are married.) If single guys want to just go out and JUST have fun...This is fine for them...it just makes meeting organically a little tough because that isnt want I am looking for. Idk. I feel like I am at an age that meeting people is still weird... IMO.

    Don't make it a point to hunt down someone. Just do the things you enjoy. Eventually you will meet someone that you already have at least one thing in common with.

    Website personas are deceptive anyways.

    I don't think so. Most guys don't do classes.

    Lol

    But, yeah I would just meet guys everywhere. Specifically college, work, gym, events, outside, at the store.

    Maybe Co-Ed team sports? I play mixed (and mens') tag rugby, we often have pint after the game, you make some new friends and there's also a lot of socialising within the league, not just within the team.

    I know a few couples who have got together through this including one team mate who is getting married next month.

    Mind you, when I was 22 I used to pretty much live for clubbing so meeting people was never an issue (and I met my girlfriend in the local pub so another vote for more traditional locations!)

    These are some great suggestions... (pulls out note pad)

    Everyone I ever met from dating sites have been just awful. Not sure where to meet good people - but just enjoy being 22 and go out with your friends and have fun :)

    You guys are probably right in a lot of cases. But, I meant back in my 20's when "work" was casual and short term (jobs while going through college). Also, being a dancer, I see people meeting that way all the time. And it's successful because they can work on projects together. With all that said, I got married when I was 22, so all my dating experience is from the age of the OP.

    now, anything and everything can be consider sexual harassment in the workplace.
