Timmy1992 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 So after all of these things with my ex that i am still hurting over especially missing her and seeing her with another guy... I set up a dateing site and get barely any replies. Worst of all my phone is so empty I want to have more numbers so I can text people and talk. Feels like my life is being drained. I am a 21 year old photographer living in seattle and cant get a single number. I want to find some friends especially someone to talk and do fun things with. What do I do???? And as far as the dateing site...am I just ugly?
d0nnivain Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Seattle is a vibrant city. Check out MeetUp.com Go to any groups that interest you. Check out the art papers & throw away locals throughout the city -- they have tons of things going on. . . show up & introduce yourself. The Seattle Weekly and I think The Stranger are good places to start to see what's happening. Go to Pike's Market & people watch. Join a co-ed sports team. Take or teach a class. As a photographer, I'm sure you could get a gig teaching photography basics to people at a continuing education level. Browse galleries in the capital hill section. Many of the smaller venues often are looking for new artists to display & many have social events, cocktail parties etc. Go to the local college campuses to meet people too.
PegNosePete Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 More than likely your dating profile and photos suck. Most guys are, the first time they do it, especially if you're still hung up on your ex. Women can smell this a mile off. I mean if your profile is anything like this post I can't imagine many people being attracted to it. You need to exude happiness and fun. Make women WANT to spend time with you. For friends yes try meetup, and all the other things Donnie suggested. You have to put in effort. Sitting by a computer complaining about it won't change it. 1
carhill Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 OP, do what you do best and love, photography, and get out there and attract people to you. It's been awhile but when I would visit my cousin who lived in West Seattle, we'd walk down to Alki Drive from her house and simply walk the beach. Beautiful views and always people. I find the same to be true whenever I'm over at the coast near where I live. I always meet women when walking the beach. I also meet guys fishing (surf fishing is a hobby) and women often will stop and talk with us when we're fishing. We can take that wherever it ends up. Always something to do. Put the phone down and get out and experience life. It's not in the phone. 1
normal person Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Make women WANT to spend time with you. Couldn't agree more. I see this as the biggest misconception of online dating; that simply having a profile -- regardless of what it says or who you are -- should garner you attention. It doesn't work like that.
