LovieDove24 Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 What I really want for the next chapter in my life is a solid, stable and mature relationship. But I am confused as to where people find them. When I was in school it was like a pre-packaged deal: have a couple classes together, study after school and eventually it turns into something more. Now that I'm not in school I've been on match.com for over 6 months and I've found nothing but a bunch of clingers, overly shy, and awkward guys. I've done the whole bar scene but would really like to avoid meeting a guy in one since theres a history of alcoholism in my family. I also go to church as often as I can but how do you meet someone when the purpose of being there is to be quiet, pray, sing and worship God? Now don't get me wrong. I live a wonderfully satisfying life without having a partner, I'm not like "on the prowl" or desperate or anything. It's just that life gets lonesome sometimes and I don't know where to meet guys anymore...
SoulSearch_CO Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 I met my XH when we were working together. Met current BF on eHarmony.

HsMomma Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 It's just that life gets lonesome sometimes and I don't know where to meet guys anymore... Lovie, do you have any hobbies that would allow you to join a group (i.e. sports team, etc.)? Or, maybe taking some continuing education type classes would work. In each of these instances, you would automatically have at least something in common with the men you'd meet. Maybe if you step outside your everyday living & do something 'different' that you've wanted to try, it would help...the other way is to ask - ask your friends, co-workers, acquaintances, etc. if they know someone who might be a good match for you - let people know you're interested in finding someone. It can't hurt! Good luck to you...
silktricks Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Met my 1st husband at church, 2nd at work. Though it worked out for us - I personally wouldn't recommend the work thing, because if it doesn't pan out, there's nothing worse than screwing up both your work life and personal life all in one go.
Jennifer26 Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Met my wife on the interwebs almost 8 years ago! ICQI met my husband on the interwebs too! Nine years ago, in a chat room.
2sure Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Political Fundraiser. Great place to network. Many people go to them just to network and have no political preferences at all. Most of the attendees are male and most of them are corporate, if you like that kind of guy.
Girlygal Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 My Husband is my brothers best friend. I have known him since i was 4, but it wasnt until he came home from the Marine Corps that i "met" him. We were paired up for my brothers wedding, and have been together since that night. So weddings are a good place i guess.
