LK30 Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Still single, 33. Went speed dating last week, no joy. Fed up! Feel unwanted! Fed up of everyone else around me being coupled up. Not even getting looked at :-(
storm007 Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 relax,be yourself and get involved in a class, or other activity, people will take notice, before you know someone is going to knock you over.
Author LK30 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Posted June 16, 2012 Thank you, I wish! I just don't think girls notice that I have a lot to me, and a lot to offer!
storm007 Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Don't worry, girls are like that, girls use to ignore my son until they found out he was a bio-chemist major.
storm007 Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 and speed dating sucks, you don't know those people, everyone what's instant love, no such thing, you might be looking in the wrong box, go to places were brain power is higher not:) at the swing bar
amantis Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Here in Australia we have a website where people organize meet up groups . Its really good because , i like movies so i can go to a meet up with people who enjoy movies , or if you like bush walking theres a group for that , if you like to go out at night for a drink , theres a group for that . Dont try and find someone so you can start dating right away , find something that you like and that you are good at , after that you find people who find you interesting , after that everything can happen . With speed dating you need to be very good looking , or have a great job , and if you are a average guy with a average job dont expect girls to ask for your number . You look a bit depressed , girls dont want depressed guys , they want funny guys so think about things that you can improve . Would you like dating someone depressed , or pessimist , or with problems ? i wouldnt
El Brujo Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Still single, 33. Went speed dating last week, no joy. Fed up! Feel unwanted! Fed up of everyone else around me being coupled up. Not even getting looked at :-( Turn it around. Instead of trying to find a "find", become one.
Author LK30 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Posted June 17, 2012 Thanks for the replies guys. El Brujo - I wish it was as easy as becoming a 'find.' I kind of thought I was half a decent find, but nobody's found me!! amantis - I like the fact you have a site that allows like minded people to meet. You're right, I'm probably coming across pessimistic to people as I guess I'm a bit drained by it all really and I expect it subsconciously shows. I can't say I haven't tried. Online dating, speed dating and blind dating. I just haven't found her yet but I hope she's worth the wait ;-)

Meetup is a more natural way to meet people with similar interests. you will make friends, widen your social circle, relax, have fun. Much better than pursuing a fixed idea of dating
Author LK30 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 Emilia - I think it's fashionable these days to try online dating, and blind dates are always intriguing. What with people's lifestyles things like speed dating ensure you're guaranteed (hopefully) to be talking to 15 single women and is good practice. I don't do clubbing and work long hours, and unfortunately my job doesn't allow me to come across many eligible women! I certainly work in a very female dominated environment but don't get in many situations where a potential relationship could come out of it :-(
an6el Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 my hubby is 37 and I'm 24 and we just got married... so don't worry you'll find the perfect one.... "Do not seek love for love will see you"
Author LK30 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 Congratulations an6el! Where did you meet? I don't mind not finding the perfect one, just a very nice one!! I'll have to keep trying :-)
an6el Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 we met through a high school friend of mine who was his roommate lol... and well it's an awkward situation... his roommate liked me... but I don't date asians, so he got mad cuz I chose his roommate who is now my hubby... it was drama... but anyways don't worry you're only 33 and you're still far from old... Age is just a number... the key to winning a heart is be true to yourself and smile! enjoy life to its fullest. Honestly I gave up before my hubby, I hated love I hated to be in a relationship I lost all hope, but don't worry love will come your way
Leopard Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 What have your past relationships been like? What are your experiences insofar in dating? Maybe that could give some clues why you can't find someone.
FitChick Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 LK30, you have a great opportunity to meet more women during the Olympics, both tourists and locals. See if you can spot attractive women who look lost and offer to help them. Ask if they've been to any of the events. There will be other things to do as well. People will be excited and most will be on holiday so acting more open and relaxed. If you can't meet a women then, you are hopeless!
