finding a friend the 80s-90s way

[daisy202027]

hi everyone

was wondering what people do these days to find a girlfriend or boyfriend and is there still a way you can still meet someone from this generation the good old ways like our parents did in the 80s-90s by actually going out and meeting face to face.

wondered because found out that the sisters seeing someone and its reminding you how much you want the friend and you know that it wont happen fast and you are doing everything you can and you cant do anymore at moment.
am usually working every weekend and while thats not all the reason its certainly not helping things.

is there a way and what can be done until your not working weekends or holidays or atleast not every one of them.

just feeling like it is never going to happen even though people say it will eventually, dont have hundreds every time to hire a social companion even if its get the confidence.

and sometimes you feel like you have no one even though you really do.

last time that had gotten to experience something not even comparable was in 2005 at year 12 formal when taking a cousin and in 2013 at a friends bbq someone was there and spoke to her and thats got to be a step as never met her before and in january 2014 at a cousins wedding danced with another cousin and in 2015 watched a movie with that same cousin that had danced with at wedding year before as arrived earlier for some reason as they already were watching something and also later in 2015 another cousins friend.

the above is the only chances that have had and now its 2022, atleast 7 years after.

what are good ways to talk to girls and let them know what youre looking for.

where would you go in a small town and is there a way to meet someone from this generation way people used to by going out.

what is a way to find a girl during coronavirus, what is a safe way while trying to delay or avoid it as thats one thing not helping.

if you could reply back thatd be great.

thanks

Can you join a club where there’s lots of people - tennis, amateur dramatics, etc. or maybe evening classes? Or learn a new thing - Sailing, etc, or go to a festival and just get chatting to whoever is around you.

My niece met her partner at a party.

most events happen on weekends and you normally work when those things are on, what could you do until you no longer have to work weekends and holidays and in the food industry

I met DH at a friends birthday party and that was less than 10 years ago.

Activities with friends of friends are a good bet because you’re more likely to have similar interests to the people you’re around

do those activities happen weekends where you always work or is there some during week.

what would you do until you can change jobs and have a easier lifestyle outside work and not be called in at anytime

OP, it’s not clear to me whether you’re looking for friends or a romantic partner?

I met DH during a work party. Been together 15 years now.

Groups/clubs don't always take place on a weekend, where I live there's clubs and groups during the weekdays/week evenings too. Could you join a pool/dart team maybe at your local club/pub? That's a good way to get out and meet people.

Are you looking for a life partner or a friend?

After work hobbies do exist! I do dance classes after work and we sometimes extend that to the pub for dinner. A colleague does sports after work. I did a cooking class on a week night a few years ago.
