How do I meet potential partners for a relationship?

[Throwawayaccount1]

Hi Loveshack,

I am a college student seeking help. I am fully enjoying my life; however i am seeking a relationship with no luck. I feel that I already know every potential mate in my surroundings. It seems that serious potential partners are already in a relationship and others are not looking for something so serious. What can i do to meet more potential partners? I prefer something or somewhere that i can go do instead of online dating website.

Thanks for your feedback!

From what I am reading, it seems that you have a narrow filter for the women available. This is know as the filter theory of love, you select what you are looking in a mate and how you look for them. You said that all women near you are not interest in serious relationship or already in them and you are not sure where to go to find a potential mate. Well broaden your search, try women from different areas, get involved in a club or activity on campus. That can let you branch out in different groups of people. Larger social group allows for a possible match up. Also try looking for something different about the women, like for example, if you are only trying for blondes, try going for brunettes. or if you are only looking for someone that is a biology major, trying going for business as well. Most important just get out and be social, meet knew people, check out events and gatherings on and off campus. I hope this helps you.

Yeah it isn't easy at all. I have always ended up with people from my past, just because it is much easier to connect and talk. I find it really difficult to get romantic with people in the same social circle as me, I am a pretty private person so it just feels awkward.

 

I find it much easier to get talking to someone I know but haven't spoken to in a long time.
