Hi all... I just have a very simple question, while I know it is pretty subjective I am just curious...

 

When you were out looking for a date, where did you find it? At a club? Some kind of group activity? The gym? In a class? Through a friend?

When I was single I met a couple hot guys at Whole Foods :laugh::laugh:

 

But usually I met potential dates and dates at parties and get togethers.

Online dating often, sometimes at a pub.

 

My friends have tried relentlessly to set me up- have never been interested in the slightest. They push totally incompatible dudes on me.

That's interesting. Do you think it's because they don't know you, they don't know the kind of guys you are interested in, or they don't really want you to be in a happy relationship?

 

Back on topic, I meet all my dates (god, I hate that word - we don't really "date" here in Oz, but I disgress...) at bars or at parties. But that's because I only want to hook up with guys who party. I've rejected guys I've met at other places like the library or restaurants because I know they'd be too straight for me. I did go out a couple of times with someone I met at the gym but he just couldn't hold his beer. :rolleyes: So I'm sticking to the pub scene.

Mostly online dating like Match, POF, and Chemistry. Prob. done with them though.

I think it's because I am the last single person in our group and everyone wants to make me a project. My friends would be out of touch with my type. Seriously out of touch.:mad:

 

I do see lots of cuties at the home depot all the time!

 

Pubs are best. It's laid back, easy to talk to people.

usually at a dark street corner in a seedy neighbourhood

I usually find them hiding somewhere.

Under your desk?

In the branches of the big oak tree in front of his bedroom window.

 

That's how CitizenE and I met. Never lets me have the good spot that faces his bathroom though.

Delightful story. Thanks for sharing.

 

If I was a squirrel, then johan's nuts would be more than enough to keep me eternally happy.

Isn't that the place where you picked up that guy but he turned out to be a dunce?

 

By the way, what is a home depot? I'm guessing it's not somewhere you can drop off your house?

It's like a Mitre10 or a Bunnings or something.

You have a great memory! He was cute, but couldn't speak. It's a huge home improvement department store. Lots of guys roaming around.

 

You could drop off your house if you'd like, I don't think they'd mind.:)

If you were a squirrel I'd carry you around in my pocket and we could go to the Home Depot and stare at guys together. I'll buy you some peanuts.

That's very sweet, but I think I would be more of a cleavage squirrel than a pocket squirrel. Having said that, I think being a pocket squirrel would be OK if the pockets are deep enough to get at the nuts.
