I'm a very sociable outgoing gurl. I have a great time with my friends and a promising career and I'd like to meet a boy to have fun with but it's a nightmare. Everyone I meet is either 17 or taken. At uni guys were never an issue. There was always a new place to go with friends and meet friends of friends who lived close. Now in the working world everyone seems either old enough to be my dad or taken. I don't really enjoy trailing the clubs on the weekend cuz I'm not desperate. I'd rather have fun with my mates when I go out rather than chasing randoms. Is internet dating really the only way these days? Is that what it's come to? That's kinda sad. Anyone else finding this shortage of eligible men / knowing where to meet them?

They (we?) are all busy on KR after work reading the vagina manual.

Or maybe still just working.

*wonders where everyone goes after work*

cf. my 'Relationship CV' thread. I think I'm in a similar boat to you.

the last bf i had i'd been friends with for 2 and a half years before we decided to confess our crushes on each other/make out.

the current guy i'm casually dating i've known since i was sixteen.

from my experience, it's best to make friends that happen to be straight males and let something eventually develop. and trust me, if someone would've told me like a year ago i'd be into the guy i'm dating, i would've given them that "oh no you didn't" look.

and where do you meet them? the most unlikely places. Like, at work. Or, while waiting in line to get your drivers' lisence renewed. You know, where you're least expecting to. The grocery store picking out apples? sure. BARS AND CLUBS are the worst places though.

Basically, when you're not looking BAM there they are.

yeah it really is hard to meet people and actually get something going as you have to make quite an effort if they are someone new or potentially ruin a friendship or embarrass yourself if they are a friend.
I've always found college/uni is an obvious place but meeting someone at work isn't necessarily a good idea, friend of a friend is probably the best option.
