I posted a somewhat of a same topic and didnt get much responce, so here
I am asking again.
I am ready to start dating and meeting people but have no idea how. I
was married for the most part and am lost on how to meet people, I am
not a big bar person so thats kind of out, I want other suggestions then
just online. There are so few sites online for free personals anyway.

DON'T FEEL BAD I'M NEW TO THIS TOO!HI,BY THE WAY.I'M JUST TRYING TO TALK
TO PEOPLE AND SAYING I'M NEW WOULD YOU LIKE TOTALK TO ME? I'M HERE IF
YOU WOULD LIKE TO.AND I GOT SOME BUT I GUESS IT'LL TAKE SOME TIME.BY FOR
NOW AND GOOD LUCK!! ROBERT....ox

well i understand where u r comin from, i got married at 18 but had been
with him since i was 14 so i have no clue what im doin myself. i have
found that in a small town like i live in i have met most guys at the
grocery store. i know that sounds so clequic but it is true.

Girl when you find the answer to this question pleas email me with it!!
I'm not sure there is any sure fire way or we all wouldn't be on here..
Its hard. I'm like you I'm so over bars & clubs.. Maybe coffee
shop..<been hanging out there myself!!>>lol...

go to a place that has social get togethers, attend some of the church
socials and things, go to employee parties, meet new friends because
they will introduce you to new people. just be open and friendly around
people and ask someone if they would like to hang out one night. it
doesn't necessarily have to be a date to meet new people and the more
people you meet the more options you have and you if someone has seen
you around somewhere before they are more likely to be open to a
conversation with you so find a couple places that interest you and
frequent them. just don't go to find a date tho or you'll get bored and
it will show. people that are in a good mood are a whole lot more
approachable...good luck

gterry has a point because if you frequent the same coffee shop it'll
make it easier to strike up a conversation with another patron or an
employee if they are not busy

Keep ALL yer options open, don't limit where you look, but don't look
TOO hard, quite often that special somoene shows up when yer not looking
;-) good luck..One place might be one o' them bookstores with a coffee
shop in it

i think a book store is a great idea, or go to a lecture or something
and maybe they will have an open discussion part of the event so that it
would make it easier to get a feel for what is out ther. basically
anyplace where there would be interaction or a discussion would be good
for you right now. animal has a good point too, approach it as just a
night getting to know people or to have a discussion, don't put pressure
on yourself or the other person by directly looking for a man to date.

Stop looking ~ and they will find you. AND, I might add, they will find
you IRRESISTABLE because you don't "need"...

you have a point kat, it is better to just try to get to know people
first rather than specifically look for a gf. i think that's why so many
people get stressed out about what seems to be a lack of quality people
