I have met people in the oddest places, so there's no magic answer to "where". I met one man after completing a marathon shift in a dunk tank at a charity event, lol. I had been in the water for 10 hours (thanks to a no show from our group)...I was freezing, my skin was all water-pruned, and I had ZERO makeup on. He still ended up asking me out :)

I agree about getting out there and doing things, but make sure they are things that YOU enjoy. That way, if you meet someone there, you know you already have one thing in common. And don't become something you're not, just to attract someone else. It may be tough being unique (I think we've had this convo more than once the past couple of days, hehe) but it's far better to be yourself and attract someone who will appreciate those differences than to morph into "normal" and become miserable.

Perhaps we need to concoct our own social network ;) Something along the lines of "Oddballs R Us", hehe.

Volunteering. Chamber of Commerce meetings. Clubs. A group that enjoys the same hobby or sport as you. Anyplace where there's large groups that are expected to be mingling and chatting. And you could check for a local chapter of Parents without Partners.

There is, but you have to put effort into it. So many people forget to do all those nice little things they did in the beginning of the relationship. Every day should be like your first date. Look your best, act your best.


I totally agree. But it has to go both ways, so no ONE person has any kind of control over the relationship. You can do everything it takes and them some, but if your SO isn't as well... it'll die. No matter how hard you try. frown


Just means you are with the wrong person. Sucks, because you don't find this out until it's too late.



Been there done that

Here's a major question maybe all of us have, but some of us have SO's now, and maybe those who are no longer alone can tell those of us who are...

WHERE the hell do you MEET people? You can't date co-workers and 99.9% of people at a bar are NOT relationship material. So... where did you meet your Mister / Miss Perfect? And HOW did you meet them?
:smile: anywhere except at work or bars:smile:
