How do I meet men?

[salt]

Hi everyone,

I could do with some advice, I'd really like to meet someone new but I have a few problems...

1. I don't get out much
2. I find it difficult to approach men I find attractive
3. Most of my friends are male so 9 time out of 10 if I go out I go with a man or a group of men - I'm guessing other men assume I am 'with' them/one of them.
4. All my female friends are attached and when I go out 'with the girls' I NEVER get chatted up.

So how do I meet men? none of my friends have friends they can set me up with and I really don't want to try personal adds.

I don't think there's anything glaringly obvious that would put men off. Ok, I'm not a stunner but I'm not ugly either. I have loads of male friends and find male company easier than female company but I still can't meet any potential partners....

ANY suggestions will be gratefully received.

hur hur. Remember making same comments to my friends - at least he'll know what to do etc.

Right, well in that case I might start hanging around the hospitals then

Oh my god, talk about '....like buses'

I've had a really sh*t couple of weeks. Work has been awful, ex has been awful, dd has a molar coming, I've been so tired I've felt physically sick.... and lone behold MEN... everywhere!!!

I decided to go speed-dating with a mate (more as a bit of a laugh than anything else) he booked it last week and we go later this week.

Another friend has set me up on a blind date with a guy she works with at the end of this week AND I got home on Friday to find a note through my door from a guy asking if I wanted to go for a drink and to call him if I did.

WOOHOO!!! Needless to say I'm in a good mood. Form an orderly queue fellas
...and tomorrow I start kick-boxing!

You may want to NOT tell the guys you plan on starting a martial art just in case they think you need a practice target .

Good luck though. With it all.

Twinkie - HELL YEAH!!!! - no am just kidding... the letter through the door guy has already been ruled out. He has children my age; so not all great prospects but it's nice to have some interest. Will keep you posted re speed0dating
