I know this isn't a mummy question but it's a question I'm going to ask for me and few single ladies.
We're aged between 38 and 41 (about 4 of us), totally normal, with jobs, solvent, attractive (dare I say it?!), funny etc. But we either find it hard to meet nice men or to socialise with them.
Doesn't help that one of my friends isn't much into bars but prefers salsa dancing etc but then discounts any men there. This friend is also a church going Christian (she's used a Christian dating website but it was affiliated to other ones and not really Christian).
We've tried dating websites - I met my last boyfriend through there - and though they're good I prefer to meet people in public.
We go to the gym/cinema/occasional meet up groups/dining out etc and also go to the occasional local festival (music/food etc).
I think personally we need to strike up conversations more and get to know men not just as partners but as friends/acquaintances etc (we did this recently with some guys, I got asked out twice same evening in space of 5 minutes! This happened in the communal gardens of my friend's private flat, we then got asked into a nice guy's flat where he had some friends who we had a drink with). But for me it was more we'd actually spoke/hung out with normal guys, not seeing them as partners?
Are we being really picky? Any tips?
