hotpotato Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I miss going to amusement parks. It's one of the few things I wouldn't want to do alone. L( I would also like someone who will go on occasion outings. I dont really want to date now, I just want an activity buddy for a few months. Link to post Share on other sites
Chalkdust89 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'm the same way! Dating is kind of a drag, but I would love to have a travel buddy or someone just to do things with. Link to post Share on other sites
somedude81 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 My GF and I were going to go to Disneyland last year, then she dumped me. I haven't gone in over 10 years, I was really looking forward to going. Link to post Share on other sites

bubbaganoosh Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Sorry. Can't help. I'm too old. I'm one of those people who have to sit on the bench holding every ones possessions while they ride and people stare at me wondering why I'm at an amusement park when all I do is sit on a bench. I could do that for free at home or at a public park rather than pay 50 bucks to do the same thing. Link to post Share on other sites

gaius Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Need a guy who will pretend to be your activity friend but really seduce you slowly into dating! I haven't been to Riverside up here since before they changed it to Six Flags New England. Which was a long time ago. Link to post Share on other sites

KathyM Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Don't you have any friends or relatives you could call up to go with you to these parks? If not, there are Meetup groups where people get together to go places or do things that they all have an interest in. There is probably a Meetup group you could contact, or if you don't see one that is going to the venues you are interested in, you can start a Meetup group yourself. That's what a lot of people are doing if they find they have no friends or relatives to do things with, or they moved to a new area where they don't know anyone. Meetup.com has become a very popular site that a lot of people use to find others who are interested in doing the things they are interested in. That would be my suggestion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author hotpotato Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 I think i'd like someone who I can parade around my family a few times so they can stop questioning my sexual orientation. I guess what I really want is a contractual temporary relationship based on doing activities with each other every now and then. Link to post Share on other sites
gaius Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 No thanks, I'm not in the mood to be dumped right now! I really want something that will last X amount of time. You're not the first girl I've run into who under estimates her appeal because she doesn't have a super large social circle and a lot of guys can't find her. Link to post Share on other sites
Frank2thepoint Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I was supposed to be going on a cruise with some friends in April, both whom are husband and wife. The wife became pregnant and expecting the baby in April. No cruise for me. Granted it would be nice to be in a serious relationship with a woman whom I can travel with, go to amusement parks, and many other things, but since I'm single, I'd settle for a friend who has the time and money for it. Some things are no fun without a partner in crime. Link to post Share on other sites

KathyM Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I may try a meet up site. However, what I really want is a contractual relationship that will last a few months. Contractual? You'd want a guy to sign a contract that he would go to amusement parks with you? Why is that necessary or desired, to sign a contract to go somewhere with someone? It seems pretty cold and businesslike. Link to post Share on other sites
gaius Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I think it's more about repeated bad experiences. How many total guys have you dated? From your threads I've seen I get the vibe it's not a huge amount. And that sample size may be misleading. Link to post Share on other sites

D.Mc. Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I know there are things I'd like to do w/another person instead of just myself (no sex jokes please). In the dating world it seems that men are rather alert to this. A few OLD profiles I've perused say "no activity partner seekers please". Guys want to invest the time not just for the event but for a "payoff" of some kind. Either FWB or a real relationship. Definitely seems like joining up w/a group of amusement park lovers is the way to go, but doesn't solve your problem of having a person to show off to your family. When they question you, maybe you should hand them a 2 page list of qualities including physical that you absolutely require in a date & tell them to find you that person or stop asking about your social life. After all if they're not helping... Link to post Share on other sites
