Feel ready to get back in the saddle (so to speak)

So it's been 7 months since split up with dxp. Had a bit of a thing with somone almost immediately after (this wasn't particularly healthy for me at the time) it dragged on until Christmas-ish but has pretty much fizzled out.

Anyway because I never saw the second guy with much regularity or received any sort of emotional from him. I still kind of feel that I 've been single for 7 months.

It might be something to do with V Day today but I really feel like I might want to start meeting men-folk again.

So here's my question...

How??

I have no hobbies (no time) so I can't meet someone through a shared interest. Ideally I'd like to meet peopple in bars but I never get approached by men when out.. how do you approach people? I just assume everyone is attached.

How can I make myself look approachable (iykwim) without looking desperate? I'm brilliant at flirting it's just the initial approach/words..

Help..

try

mysinglefriend.com

my friend has used it and it is fab and there are so many nice men out there. She has been on loads of dates and is now in a relationship.

At least you know with online dating that the men are looking for luuurve too.

I've lokked at mysingle friend but I think it's expensive.. Also I've tried internet dating int past and found although I enjoy talking to people that I meet that way I've not met any 'relationship material'

I'll probably do Internet dating as well but I'd really like to meet people (in the flesh)

oooooh exciting

I have no advice for you as I last had a date about 15 yrs ago, just wanted to wish you luck

i tried mysinglefriend and would say its prob the best site for meeting normal men! although i never met anyone special off there!

at the moment i am persuing a young man at the estate agents where i am selling my house but although he is sweet it is not really going anywhere!!!!!!!
So hmm maybe you can sell your house and try to meet someone!!!!

Are you sure you dont get noticed when you go out? (i do sometimes but never by anyone i fancy any more!)

i find this too - have never met anyone through friends, i would already know them/sniffed them out before!
i go for a certain type of bloke; pretty face, high cheekbones, dark, none of my friends seem to hang around with such beauties!

Hiya,

i know its an old saying, and might may you groan lol 'You'll meet someone when you least expect it!' Maybe at the supermarket, bank queue, anywhere really!!

good Luck

Ironically, a friend called last night and she'd been discussing me with another friend who both think I need ot get out more and were both offering to have dd so I could go out with t'other.

While she was talking I got the hump and thought it was a bit rude but having slept on it I know they mean well.

I'll try and get out more.
