Guest Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 So after 8 months my gf and I split, she lied and tried to control me one last time. Now being thrown back into the single lifestyle is very depressing. The few friends I have are all dating folks, and my job doesn't allow me to meet folks my age so socializing and meeting new people is very difficult. How does a young, good looking guy who is 26 and single go out and meet people and generally have fun alone? I've debated going to bars alone, but i'm a non-smoker so I believe I'll be out of place. Seems I can't win. Gimme some suggestions please. D
mark1210 Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 D-- Yeah, I'm sorta in your same boat as I dumped a girl a few days ago. I'm also 26 and my friends are either engaged or also have girlfriends which means I don't really see much of them (if any). As for my coworkers they are all much older than me, and very few women in the IT field. So my options are also limited. I guess it's all a personal choice, I just got fed up wasting away my weekends and decided to go out alone. Sounds kinda loserish to some, but I got over it. I'd suggest getting a gym membership, thats where I have been spending a good deal of time. I don't go there to meet girls, I do it for me. Gyms are almost always the worst place to meet women. Just go there to work on you, get yourself into shape (and if you are already keep at it anyways). Perhaps you may meet a few guys and in time make some new friends. I also go to a few clubs by myself, sometimes it actually is easier to break the ice without friends there. There's been a few occasions where women will just come up to me and start chatting. But hey, I'm also up for other suggestions on where to go and meet new folks lol. And if you're in the Dallas area I'm up for a new workout buddy I could use the extra push.
