How to meet a nice guy?? Any ideas?

[rubbishfamily333]

So I've been single for a while, I have tried online dating and not met anyone I likes.

I am actually thinking there must be a way to meet men which doesn't involve online dating or meeting men in clubs?

After talking with a friend I said we need to go to places where men will be

The problem is how do we get chatting to these men if we like them?

We both feel that we don't approach the men we like the look of but instead wait to see if they approach us. And if they don't we don't bother then just get stuck with the guys that do approach us or online men

So any ideas where to meet men? And how to approach them without looking desperate??

I 'm really not looking, but I passed a trendy bike repair shop today and there were at least half a dozen attractive looking blokes in there.......not a woman in sight. Just a thought.

Hang around in boat yards. The odds are good but the goods are odd...

How? Liking art isn't posh- and it shouldn't be -nearly everywhere has an art scene if you look:)

Boat yard? I can't think of a reason to be somehow in boatyard! Unless I lost my dog or something:)

I hear re enactment stuff has lots of blokes who are single.

You could go to a Rugby match & move about the crowds of men, asking them what the rules of the game are, any why they have funny shaped balls? That should put a smile on some of their faces & be a good ice breaker.

Trying desperately to believe that the inclusion of a winky face means you're not serious.

Or OP, just stand in the middle of the street, talking in a helpless baby voice and wait for a nice man to save you?

Seriously, do online dating again. I really think you'll struggle to find a more reliable souce of single men. Hobbies, clubs etc are great for their own sake, but there are few things more depressing than people who are obviously doing something that should be fun in its own right just to pull.

Yes, in my experience these things should only be done if you really want to do the course subject and not just to try to meet people.

I agree, online dating gives the best chances.

Or.... luxuriate in your singleness.

Feeling very married today.

I met my partners like this, going backwards chronologically; online dating, a fling with an ex, online dating, he was my sports coach, he was my sports coach, he was my sports coach, he was my sports coach, he was my sports coach (different sport for the last one).

I did have a bit of a thing about coaches - the authority figure etc. Not necessarily psychologically healthy but having said that, they were all pretty gorgeous so who cares :)

And whistles? :)
