HappyHoosier   10 #4 Posted October 19, 2007 It's not easy, I agree. I wasn't a bit interested in dating after my long-term, live-in relationship went very wrong. I waited more than a year before accepting a date because I didn't want a rebound relationship, I had a hard time trusting and I felt really bad about myself.  I guess I had the best luck by going out with co-ed groups of friends; it gave me a chance to meet men without the pressure of being on a date.  Probably my best advice is to be open to trying new things and making new friends without worrying about getting a date out of it. None of my dates have turned into romance yet, but I've had a blast and made some wonderful friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ally68 Â Â 10 #6 Posted October 19, 2007 Best way to go about it is not to look for it. Â Desperation has a smell to it and puts people off. Just get out in the world and enjoy yourself. Â Que Sera Sera! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

medusa   16 #10 Posted October 19, 2007 The way to go about it is to talk to people- lots of people. In person, online, at classes, at the gym, on the bus...  The most important factor in meeting someone that you would like to go out with is to meet enough people to start with. They aren't going to come looking for you in your living room (except in an online sense of course) so at some point your life has to include meeting and talking to people.  Once you've met lots of people the next step is to actually say yes to some of them, and to look like you're going to say yes enough so that you get asked (or summon up the courage to do it yourself- that makes some of the men run away and hide though).
