ls32ssibm Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 I'm 23. My first serious GF I met in high school, lasted until I was 19 or 20. I did last the two years of my B.A., that I just finished, through online courses. I work with guys, my friends are all guys with their own thing going on. I didn't get in a relationship again until I was 22. I had gone to school with her but reconnected over Facebook. The relationship soured and I have since deleted my Facebook in the fallout and have no intention of making a new one anytime soon. My prospects for Grad School aren't too good right now, and even I do it's a good chance that will be online as well. I really don't want to spent another 3 years between relationships like I did last time. It's already been 8 months, and I have no clue how to meet women. Have tried online sites; okcupid, plentyoffish, and have even paid for Match. Nothing, no luck. I'm not the type to drive to the mall and scout for "talent", or anything like that. Even so, I have reservations about approaching people for fear they may be way too young or way too old for me since looks can be deceiving. Anyway, any advice?

Serious question: is this your idea of being social and meeting people...?
Author ls32ssibm Posted May 19, 2012 Author Posted May 19, 2012 No, I've never been much of a social butterfly. And all the circles of people I know are either filled with guys or people that I wouldn't date for a number of reasons.

Having tons of male friends and being in good social graces with all of them is invaluable. The primary purpose of expanding your social circle is to expand your social circle, not to pick up women. The female contacts will eventually come.
