Meeting men

[Zig27]

I am still wondering how you can meet someone to date.

I was temping for 3 months and there were 3 guys in the office. All of these men were very nice. 2 were in relationships and 1 was married. 2 of them met their partners at work and 1 was through friends.

I just wonder how you can meet someone as nice as they are. I have tried walking groups and the men are weird or emotionally unavailable. I know I must forget the walking groups as they’re not helping.

It is also hard now the pandemic is ‘over’ as people are still reluctant to meet up or go out to places.

The pub or work is the usual place.

I've never understood how the pub thing works. I mean I'm pretty chatty and I have no confidence issues but rarely is there a scenario where I would just be chatting to a random in a pub. In a nightclub maybe because we ended up dancing together. But in pubs, most ppl just stay in their own groups right? ...maybe it depends on the pub. Or if there was a quiz night or something...

To be honest, the easiest way is probably online!

Now why would you want to do that

Don't bother! if you meet someone in everyday life, if you don't it wasn't meant to be

@wobblywinelover that is exactly how I feel about it.

I don't think it's harder because of the pandemic, most people are happy to get back to normal.
Maybe a new place of work when you're temping has finished, keep your options open online and rl.
Pubs are a good way to flirt but they are drunk men mostly, quite often already taken or not seriously wanting a relationship after a brief meeting, you never know though I'm sure someone will probably say they met their husband that way.
When I was younger I met my boyfriends through work or through friends that had introduced me, online is better for me as I can't be bothered to be that sociable anymore.
