Help! Trouble meeting potential dates!

[mundie]

Hi, perhaps you can help me out. I'd like to start seriously dating again, but since I've been looking (about 6 months) I haven't come accross very many eligible bachelors in the 28-35 age range. The bar scene is kind of sleazy and internet dating was a disappointment. The community things I've involved myself with (volunteer orgs., church, arts events) were great for meeting a lot of wonderful WOMEN (take note, all you compassionate, spiritual, arty guys out there!) Any ideas on how to meet men short of developing a passion for Nascar? Tips from men or women who dealt with a similar situation would be much appreciated.

Internet! link removed is a good start. I know people who have had great luck with link removed also.

 

Why not develop a passion for NASCAR? If you want to meet tons of eligible men, all in one area, that's where they are!

 

Post a pretty photo online, write a few things about yourself, and off you go! You'll have more dates than you'll know what to do with.

 

Good luck!

Are you into sports at all? If there are sports pubs (different than the bar scene to me) at any of your sports arenas you usually find lots of men there hanging out with their buddies. It's easier to talk to them in that environment. No pressure. I don't think you necessarily have to be a sports aficianado, you're just out to have fun.

match is great if you are somewhat attracitve and not to be rude, but not a minority. well in my area, it sucks for certain races. chances are you only have to weed out trash. watch out for freaks, be careful.

Thanks, I knew that my interest in volunteer work would pay off somehow. Not that I'm doing it to meet women, or anything.

 

Honestly, other then being active or getting your face out there, then there isn't much else you can do. Internet could help you meet people, but theres no guarantee they'll be good people or the people you would be interested in. Do the activites you like and try to be happy on your own. When your not looking, it will happy before you know it. It's when you are actively looking that if gets discouraging and feels like you'll never meet anyone.
