mortensorchid Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Can anyone think of a place to attempt to meet others besides bars or even the Internet? I use the Internet quite a bit to meet others, but I wonder about it. Some say that you will meet a crazy person at the bars, but I think you are just as likely to meet a crazy person on line rather than if you met them in "real life". Any suggestions?
Trialbyfire Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Are you working? If so, you can start by getting to know people around you. If you mesh well, you'll start to hang out and they will introduce you to their personal friends and friends will intro you to their friends. In this way, it's like an evergrowing social network. Be careful though. Work friendships can blow up really quickly and cause uncomfortable situations. Try to keep it light and fun and above all, if possible, avoid the soap opera discussions about work.
OpenBook Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 He!!, I meet crazy people at work. :D Anywhere you go, keep an open and friendly attitude. And get out there! You're more likely to meet someone compatible if you go to events that you're interested in. Concerts, the gym, cooking classes, museums, libraries, home improvement stores, Star Trek conventions,... You can use the Internet to find out where these events are at. And just Go Go Go!!
Green Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Well you could try to have your friends set you up on a date with some guy they know who they think would be good for you. You could join a singles group at your church or what ever. You could also go out to a book store or grocery shopping and guys just might walk up to you and chat you up and try to get your number... Take a coure or class in something you're interested in. Go to an event of some sort... I'm man so I just go out into the real world and hit on women

I've had several jobs since the first one and I keep my distance from people. Especially since a majority of jobs I've had involve people spending a lot of time in the midst of screaming and fighting. God only knows what must go on in their home lives verses what goes on at work, right?
Green Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 well thats a bad sign. I really enjoy making friends with co-workers. Maybe you should look for a new job with higher pay and an environment that has people you want to ascociate with
kikikiwi Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I know everyone says to go to grocery stores, bank, sporting events, etc but I've never been hit on at those places. I'm not butt ugly, just average. Not even the average guys hit on me there! what gives?!?
