ls32ssibm Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 At what point does letting fate roll the dice, to put it bluntly, "end"? Instead of beating around the bush, I'll just give you my situation. I am 25, have been described as at least an "8/10" by probably a dozen different women throughout my adulthood. I have a Master's degree, a dog, and am an ambitious person - well, I think, anyway. As some of you may know (since I made a thread on it), I ran into a great girl in my new apartment building. But, as with 99.9% of cute girls my age range, she has a boyfriend. I've been single for two years now with meaningless dates in between. I honestly think I'm getting bored with being single. I don't think it's desperation. If none of my hobbies align with girls my age range, what should I be doing to meet someone? Should I be actively looking? How? Before you mention it though, online dating has been horrible to me as well. Mainly because I am picky and nothing says "I have baggage" like a woman's online dating profile... Happy Holidays!
Onethirtyeight Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) I'm in a similar situation. People who aren't family think I'm good looking, I'm a stand up guy (or so I think), and I'm a student at a great university. I've tried online dating but it sucks. I'm not as single as you are if that makes any sense, I do go on dates and have only been a few months since the last girl I was seeing regularly. I just pick up on chicks at coffee shops and stuff, it seems to work ok. I haven't really had a GF for 3 years though, mostly by my own doing. Which is another thing. Is it you're fault you're single and you're the one turning down women or are you being rejected? If you're being rejected you might want to aim lower or play another game.

Omei Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 I have been meeting people through a place called kijiji its not a dating site but like a ad site for say jobs or selling things they have a looking for friendships section since im a gamer I just post I wanna get to know ppl in the same area that plays the same game and end up talking online and playing with them before I ever meet them I find its less ugh date like? And more friendships and who knows who I meet? I dont know if you have something like this in your town. You can try posting that your looking too meet people with same interests I just think it has less expectations upon first read as a date site does. theres no profile thing just text of people looking to make friends with other and imo that's how relationships blossem better rather than awkward im looking for love type thing. I have no idea if this would even help you im just rambling throught I'd put it out there, and we all have our baggage big or small. Oh and I haven't met anyone I would crush on yet but I have made a lot of new friends this way and who knows what the future holds.
