jwizzle Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I've been in a dating slump for years. I probably haven't had a date in over 4 years. When I was active in the past, I used several online dating sites to meet guys. I'm no longer interested in the OLD scene because I found it to be superficial and gamey. I'm also over the bar scene and do not go to church. So where is a good place to meet guys for potential dating? I wish dating was easier and I could just click with a guy instead of playing all the dating games. 1
TheBladeRunner Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I've been in a dating slump for years. I probably haven't had a date in over 4 years.

I wish dating was easier and I could just click with a guy instead of playing all the dating games. I just packed it in a few weeks ago on OLD for the same reasons you don't want to return to it. I am too old (46) for what I have experienced on OLD. Honestly, I am just getting out more and I have had some nice conversations. I am in a really good place in my life now, work is going well, divorce is done, and there are no issues between my daughter's mother and I. The bar scene isn't bad IF it's the right bar, I go to mellow places and just kind of hang out. This is going to sound really cheesy, but the store has been good for me as well. I'll just strike up a conversation with a woman in line. As I mentioned, I have a child and the park works well too. Rather than hide in my smart phone or read, I'll actively talk to someone else. I have started treating dating like finding a job as well; "It helps when you know someone on the inside". I have a date this Friday with a woman that I met through a friend. I already kind of know her, now I just need to see if it is a match. I've heard good things about meet ups as well, but I have never done one. Good luck to you, it'll happen when you least expect it.

I'm also over the bar scene and do not go to church. What about OLD was superficial and gamey? I think it's a gold mine for women because of the insanely out-of-whack male/female ratio. I have several female friends who were not knockouts but reasonably attractive--they had a virtually endless supply of guys willing to meet them, and they all ended up meeting "the one" through OLD and getting married. So where is a good place to meet guys for potential dating? I wish dating was easier and I could just click with a guy instead of playing all the dating games.That, in a nutshell, is what holds some women back from more success. They are used to having it just magically "happen." Guys are accustomed to working for it. If you told the average guy that if he did OLD he would meet the woman of his dreams, but first he had to endure 10 or 15 brief coffee dates with non-compatible women, he would be thrilled. To the average woman, that sounds like way too much work. To answer your question: go to any kind of place or event where there are more men than women, which is most places or events. Any kind of sports or athletic event. Any kind of business networking meetup. Anything involving computers. Go out dancing, there are always way more men than women in nightclubs. But don't stay attached to a cocoon of friends--look around, smile, and give the impression you're approachable. You'll meet men.
