Lucky555 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 My question says it all...where did you meet your dates and what was the outcome? Was he a good guy or bad guy? I'm curious as to know if there are locations where you found "your date" hanging out. I am hitting a dry spell of guys right now, I have found i dont meet decent guys at clubs or bars. I don't meet guys at all at the super market? I'm wondering where they are.

Trialbyfire Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I'll start with my ex-marriage. I met my ex-H through business, where he showed up one day at a mutual contact's BBQ and haunted me for a couple of years. Bad guy. We were married for five years and then divorced. Now, we're friends.When separated, I lightly dated a couple of confirmed bachelors who are part of our social circle. Good guys since I knew where they stood and they knew where I stood. We parted ways amicably and I dated one of them over a year later. I still chat here and there with both of them.Neighbor. Good guy. Dated him in two different tranches and we parted ways amicably. We're still friends.Brother of a close friend. Good guy. We parted reasonably amicably.Business contact. Good guy. We parted amicably.Neighbor but also was part of our social circle. Good guy. He's still mad at me, though.Neighbor. Good guy. We're still friends.Neighbor of a friend of mine. Great guy! We're engaged.
CarrieT Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 There all gone. The world as we know it is over. :mad::mad::mad: Amen. I haven't met a single guy in nine months... Married who want to fool around, yes. Single? No.

Congratulations on your engagement I guess I shouldn't give up on dating just yet....maybe one day there will be a great guy in the end for me. I have hit a dry spell in meeting guys and the fact I don't know if I'm ready to date just yet again. Thanks for your input.
Author Lucky555 Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 Amen. I haven't met a single guy in nine months... Married who want to fool around, yes. Single? No. I think its getting more difficult to meet young single good guys! The only place I have seen many men all at once is clubs/bars. I have one friend who has met a great guy in a bar but that is just by chance/set up by a her friend. I really don't want to resort to online dating. I am too weary of the outcome! However, another friend of mine has met a good guy though an online dating site. I just don't know anymore. Dating has got so difficult and more complex! Right now I am in a spot where i need to settle into my life first, looking for a job and going to school soon. I have to get a balance before seeing guys. However, i thought it wouldn't hurt to just scope out some places and see if I do run into anyone and maybe spark a connection to build upon.
Tizzy Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 I think we all need to move to TrialbyFire's n'hood, lol! I met my most recent ex online. He's a really nice guy but we just weren't working out. I think online dating is great and you should try it. My ex before the most recent ex walked straight into my house (installed my phone). We were together for 3 yrs and were engaged and had a baby. he seemed great at first but turned out to be a s***hole. Before him, I met guys thru various avenues, mainly social events, like professional networking clubs/organizations. I had also met some really nice guys online before I met the guy I got engaged to. Most recently, since my breakup a month ago, I went out with one guy I met online (nice guy, one date, but not a match) and a guy from my job. I'm still talking to the guy from my job, so we'll see how that goes :-)
DarkestDreams Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Lately, I've been relying solely on online dating for dates. I think it works out for certain people and they just strike gold pretty fast, while others end up even more disappointed than before. I can honestly say that all the guys (well, except for one who kept staring at my boobs and expected me to foot the bill - 12$ bill mind you) were good, decent people! Hell, I even had one guy bring me flowers on our first date! Most of them have a nice career, their own house and seem to have their sh*t together overall - I usually date guys in their late 20's or early 30's, so maybe it makes sense for them to be more mature. My only problem is I didn't really feel any chemistry or spark, so there were no second dates. There was only one guy that I really liked and, of course, he wasn't interested Online dating is worth a try, but you need to do a VERY intense weeding out process. The good guys are out there, from what I've noticed.
SoulSearch_CO Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 I met them when I was in HS. Then I met them on the job. Now that I'm no longer in any form of school and my job has me working completely alone in the dead of night... I met my current BF on eHarmony. LOL

I did a 6 month dating strike and it helped to get my mind back onside. I think we all need to move to TrialbyFire's n'hood, lol!Haha...that's three neighborhoods, my old one, relatively new one and a friend's!
