How can a beautiful, professional, kind DD26 meet a good man?

[ThickGrass]

Seriously…

The guys her age are either player types, or too scared to talk to young women. You can spend a lifetime on apps, and still not meet someone wholesome who sparks something, like you used to at uni / dance / work. Her job is mainly with females.

Any advice is welcome and if you know a young man in a similar position, what has their experience been?

Political party
Choir
Tennis club

Out in the real world is best, I think. Running club, tennis club, cycling group, going to gigs, choir or music group, church (if religious), voluntary work with a special interest charity or community enterprise, evening classes - film appreciation used to be full of eligible men, I'm told. Maybe doing one-off things that interest her like a cookery or carpentry course. Or a special interest holiday like learning to dive, sail, surf etc.

A friend of mine once threw a massive picnic and everyone had to bring a single friend. It was quite a success.

Mine met somebody nice At work in a different team, it was almost like a big youth club full of graduates together and they hit it off
The other lovely young girl I know also met her husband at work too

It’s a numbers game. I do think you need to kiss a lot of frogs. Equally though, I think it helps when you’re not on the hunt and instead are someone who is enjoying life and you meet people as a result of your hobbies and interests. I think she needs to be comfortable being single. Given a lot of young people will end up being single throughout their life these days throwing herself wholeheartedly into all other aspects of life is important, including career.

What she doesn’t need is a parent giving her advice about how to find someone, or expressing sorrow that they’ll never have grandkids etc

Here in solidarity with a single DD of 26 who has her own home an amazing career and great girlfriends but no boyfriend.
She models occasionally for work so is subjectively attractive and works in a male dominated industry.

She finds men just aren’t interested in commitment or even following up on a date.
She is frequently told we should hang out but nothing comes of it when she tries to confirm.
Those that have been keen she wasn’t in to them.

I don’t think she’s too picky her only requirements are kind and some sort of spark.

I feel like I am turning into Mrs Bennett, I deliberately took her to a ploughing match last week and considering plumbing or electrical conventions might be fruitful.

Be involved in networking and socialising through work.

Join a gym, club etc.

Don’t be put off by the apps! I met my now husband on one and there are plenty of decent men out there who are looking for the same thing most women are. It’s just about being alert and sorting the serious relationship seekers from the casual fling types.
