365daysgone Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Well as someone go has just the spent the passed hour looking up local things, I can honestly say that it is ridicuously hard to meet people. There are some courses in my area, but do I really want to pay $150 for the CHANCE at meeting some people? What are the odds of some 24 year old guys or girls being at a cooking course or even a photography course? I really don't see a lot of potential in this. Work seems like the only place to meet peolle and develop those friendships. I just spent $20 to create a social anxiety meetup group so hopefully that goes somewhere but I am losin hope in ways to meet people when I am terrible at conversing. I wish there were some communication courses around here. I have also tried sending messages to like 10 girls on POF and only one messaged me back.

I've sent over 20 messages on match and they've been read, but not a single response. I've winked, I've tried chatting. Not all with the same people. I'm not cyber bombing them. I've got a very warm profile and several pics. I know I'm not gorgeous, but the only other thing I can attribute it partially to is that I'm a smoker. Most of the men I have contacted are okay with smoking.
Author Real36 Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 Wow...this tread really took off! Kinda nice to know there as so many other people trying to figure this out, makes me feel like I'm not alone:). I have tried OLD a couple of years ago without good results. I set up another profile a couple of weeks ago but just wasn't ready so soon after ending my previous relationship. I will probably try again soon now that the sting of the last guy has mostly gone away. Good luck to all of us!
