So I am recently single, and every guy I have ever met has been in school or through a friend from school. I am graduated from high school ... thank god ... and I am the only person I know not going to college. I just got a beautiful apartment that I'll move into next month right in the center of a big city. I feel like it would be easy to meet guys at bars (i have a fake) but I feel like thats not a good idea. So basically I'm wondering if you know any good places to meet a good hearted, open minded, creative, sexy, successful man? besides a bar.

umm Facebook is all the rage now. If you don't have the balls to add strangers and talk to them (why not!) then go to your friend's pages, look thru their friends, pick one, ask him/her to introduce you 2. voilaaaa

walking a dog in the park, in a coffee shop, library, at a place of work (most common)... the list goes on but the point is that you could meet the person of your dreams almost anywhere, anytime ;)

Peace :hippy:

I have to disagree with the no bar partâ??I mean, there are different types of bars which attract different types of guys, some of whom are very intelligent, creative, sexy, good-heartedâ??but whatever, the question is what are your interests? However you answer is where you should go. And, yes, really, the best answer is "anywhere."

Im in almost the exact same situation as you miss high times. 18 out of highschool and im moving to New Zealand to start a life in the big city of Auckland in only two weeks. Im just working and setting myself up to start, bars are fun for swings but it never progresses anywhere. I say go to a gym or just keep spending time with friends of friends till something comes up

It all depends on the guy you're looking for. Show up at an event like an art show, and see who's there, and if that's the kind of crowd you like.

plentyoffish.com is pretty good, especially for canadians, it's actually got a tonne of people on there. I've met like 7 or 8 people from there already, and they all seemed like well adjusted people haha.

As a guy, I'll admit to acting differently depending on where we meet. Meet me at the Jersey shore and I'm the type of guy looking to score. Meet me at a bookstore and I'm the type of guy that will strike up a conversation with a complete stranger. Meet me at the gym and I'll flirt with you in a light hearted fashion, then apologize. I guess with that said, places to meet decent guys are bookstores, gyms, upscale venues, museums, etc. Places NOT to go guy-hunting include the boardwalk, fast food places, in the woods, in the back of a van, and porno shops.

Through friends playing spades on Yahoo!? No, we played and then talked one more time on messenger. Then a year and a-half later, we talked again.

I acutally live right on the park ... I dont live in canada, I go out to victoria b.c. frequently, and I made this account when I was there for a month over the winter, I should prolly change that.

Your right you really can meet a guy anywhere, such as a book store, but it seems like the only guys that ever hit on me are old creepy guys ... girls you prob kno what I'm talking about ...
it's just been hard, I just moved here, all of my friends are goign to school, and everyone in my little office of 8 is a woman. I think I just have to not look and hopefully someone that I am looking for will approach me. I go to a lot of art shows and concerts but it's normally with a lot of my boys, (non of which i am attracted to in a sexual way) so no one will aproach me, but they will be gone soon, so maybe me being alone will help make me more approachable.
thanks for your advice all

your right, I only ever met one guy at a bar, and we ended up dating for a month, and he ended up telling me that he was married and only wanted a one night stand, so that kind of turned me off to the idea... but not everyone is as fucked in the head as that guy was

My advice is join some sort of club like a cycling or sailing club. You're going to meet cool people of both sexes, make new friends, get invited to parties and events, and even get in shape. My experience doing this is that even if there are not cool eligible bachelors in the club itself, one of the members is gonna have some cool guy friends who you will eventually get introduced to. Plus the dating thing is obvious, you'll be doing whatever fun activity it is, and not have to worry about trying to make small talk.
Meet a guy in a bar, your chances are good that he is a player, spends too much time there, and possibly has a drinking problem.
Meet a guy through a club, you already know that he can commit to something, has a hobby, and enough expendable income and time to pursue it.

Awsome idea! I am not into sports much, but I would really like to sign up for a summer art class. I think that would be a good place to meet people who I know are into art like me, and I feel like it would be easier to talk to people in a relaxing class atmosphere more so than at a coffe shop or something. I just need to put myself out there more. It's not easy being in a new area with out my friends as a security net. (Even though they havent left yet, I have like a month with all of them, and I'm aklways in the city working now) Thanks!

hahahaha. that was funny:thumbsup:

but misshightimes.....i'd like to know the oppisite...where to find a decent girl....i've been single for like 2 years lol

i've come up with a conclusion..

we shouldn't be looking for them... we should just come across them..
like stinkyattic said, we should join clubs and such.....in my case, go to school...
simply expand our network of friends with interesting people
there ARE plenty of people out there looking, just not in bars or nightclubs...
basically, we should be having fun while we look for interesting people... not making it too obvious that we are --DESPERATE-- lol

in any case, i'm single;)

^^ Exactly what I am thinking, after reading what stinky said I signed up for a landscape painting class at a local college here. Starts in 2 weeks, hopefully I will meet some people there. At this second (it will change in another second) I just want to meet some new people in my new area, I dont want to focus everythign on needing a guy, due to what someone else said to me in a diff one of my threads I shouldnt need a man at all times, but at the same time a new one to get my mind off the old one wouldnt hurt.

thanks for your advice all

you are so lucky to live in that part of town, it's franking beautiful there.

being alone will definitely make you more approachable, just be sure to keep your eyes locked on some nice guys, i'm sure one will walk up to you

Sounds like a lot of fun... field trips? And a new hobby to pass the time that can so easily be spent pining for a man, lol!!! That sounds just about perfect.

At a strip club. Find the drunkest guy covered with the most stripper glitter and go give the girl on the mainstage a tip then go talk to him. This will find you marriage material everytime! :thumbsup:

Obviously I'm kidding but it can be fun for guys and girls to go to a strip club together, as a big group of friends or for couples fun.

If you have a lot of single friends of both sexes, start a dinner club where once a month someone throws a dinner party. You have to keep introducing new people to the gene pool because if it hasn't happened after a few parties it isn't going to happen but these are fun even if no one hooks up. I used to have dinner parties all the time but I haven't thrown one in about 5 years.
