Hey All,

 

So as most know, I seem to attract some real winners. To be quite honest, 90% of the people I meet are over the Internet via hotornot.com or a myspace.com type site. Now while I know these are the same people I'd meet in public I meet them online. In my line of work I am one of the youngest people there and its a mainly male environment. Most of the friends I have are quite older and are married. The two single friends I have my age rarely want to go out to clubs. I'd like to change things up a bit and quit meeting people on the computer...it hasn't worked very well for me. I don't think I will find miss right shopping or pumping gas so I need some suggestions.

 

Heck maybe I need to meet and make more single male friends but thats a bit hard to do at 26 lol. Its not the same as being 10 and living in the same neighborhood. So not to come off gay or anything any suggestions on how to meet guys my age as well as ladies? I think having more single guy friends would be great but I'm certainly not going to goto a club or bar alone...don't wanna be a part of that bad (loser) stereotype.

You could try posting on craigslist to find single guys that want to get together to hang out at clubs. I've seen posts like that before.

Just a suggestion but maybe you could meet people thru your hobbies....I don't know for example sports, or something like that. My bf does marshal arts in his free time, and he met a lot of people thru that.

I know a guy who met tons of ladies at salsa dancing.

 

And, there's nothing wrong with going to a nice club by yourself. I can remember a few nights when my buddies didn't feel like going out, so I just went out by myself and did quite well in getting a few phone numbers. Just smile, keep it light and funny, and throw out some easy conversation.

I totally agree with the suggestion of something like salsa dancing...most places (bars, etc.) that offer lessons don't expect you to show up with a partner, so you'd be rotated through a few people over the course of the night. And it's fun!

 

I also have to give some credit to those "young professionals" groups - here in dc we have one that schedules all kinds of events geared to have people meet each other - tours or outing or wine tastings, or more cheesey stuff like speed dating or "lock and key" parties. And it does work sometimes, I went to one of those speed dating things on a dare, and met my current BF! at the very least you get some good stories out of it.

I want to ditto the salsa. I have a friend who's very active in it and he's met a LOT of people that way. One day, I'll gather enough courage to try it.

 

Also, you can try a website like meetup for single events or even for your hobbies.

hotornot.com and myspace.com? And you're suprised those girls aren't what you're looking for?

 

I have two friends and three aquaintances who have meet people via the internet. They are nice, normal people who have nice, normal relationships. Two of those five couples met over a forum like this one, and the others met either on eharmony or match.

 

This is just like this guy at work who constantly dates strippers and wonders if there are any women out there without drug problems and money/daddy issues. (Not saying all strippers are like that, but this guy is a computer guy, and bless his heart, these girls aren't with him for his looks or personality, if you know what I mean. So the kind of girls THIS guy is attracting are that kind.)

 

If you look in the trash, guess what you're going to find? Be serious, now. You're in Dallas. There is NO shortage of beautiful, perfect women there that are your age.

If you live in Dallas, TX (where everything is BIG) there should be a number of singles groups that plan activites, parties, trips, softball leagues, etc.... Look it up on the internet. Stay away from the Church singles groups. Ask around and remember that each singles group will be geared towards different types of members.

SERIOUSLY. Tons of singles groups. If I were a single guy your age, Dallas would be the PERFECT place.

AlphaMale,

 

Just curious, why do you say its best to stay away from Church Singles groups?

 

Thanks

I tried a church singles group in a town of about 120,000, and I found that it was really nothing more than a group of 15 to 20 people (75% male) who were already pretty tight. Rarely, a new person or two might show up. But, I found that it really ended up keeping you single more than it helped you meet anyone. It was just the same 15 or so people who went to all the functions. Perpetual singles, as I like to call them.

 

Of course, in a major metropolitan area, this might not be the case.

 

You might want to try the gym. Discussing different workout techniques or comparing notes on training splits is a good ice breaker!

SPEED DATING! It's soooo fun!

 

Look into group sporting events (softball, basketball, even DODGEBALL!), classes (cooking/wine tasting in particular - TONS of girls there!), charities (20/30 Club?), political gatherings/fundraisers, alumni organizations, young professionals organizations, etc. These are great places to meet people in general (male and female), and there's bound to be a girl or two worth a date...

 

As for me, I've been approached in the shampoo ailse at the drug store, at the gym, and while shopping - all in a unique, non-desperate/weirdo way...so don't be afraid to go that route when the opportunity presents itself! :)

What were the results of these non-desperate/weirdo approaches? Did you end up revealing your pretty pussy?

Not to these guys, no. But I did appreciate their efforts to see it! :)
