Jamie   10 #1 Posted August 30, 2003 Hi,  Hope this doesn't sound too bad (i mean desperate ... lol).  Does anyone know of any speed dating events in Sheffield ?  I'm a bit on the shy side with the ladies and it (speed dating) sounds like a good thing ...  Also, if any guys (or girls) on the forum, have any (good) tips for meeting girls ... do send em my way !!  Jamie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

DaBouncer   13 #7 Posted August 30, 2003 Not heard of any speed dating in Sheffield but I will ask about for ya. If you go clubbing or socialising in pubs/clubs, best thing to do is not to go looking to pick up a girl. Just go out for a laugh, dance and few beers (not too many, you don't wanna be making a fool of yourself). Then you;ll usually find that you'll meet someone when you haven't been looking. It has ALWAYS happened that way with me.  Go out for a couple o' beers and who knows what could happen.  Like I say, If I hear anything about the speed dating thing, I'll post it on this thread.  DB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
DaBouncer   13 #8 Posted August 30, 2003 I know, dont get me wrong... but like I say... if you look for it. 9 times out of 10.. you wont find!  JMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jamie   10 #9 Posted August 30, 2003 Yeah ... I totally agree with you DaBouncer ... not to be looking, just to be your normal relaxed and happy self is the way to be.  On the other hand ... them ladies sure look fine and like Red2 says ... when you've been single for a while ... it's hard not to be wanting one !!!.  I always notice though if im looking when I'm out ... it never works and I always feel crap about myself ... and if I'm just not bothered and relaxed ... I have a great time.  Kind of a catch 22 I guess ...  Just going to try a few different things though ... to the normal pubs and clubs ... and speed dating sounds great for shy guys like myself.

Jamie   10 #10 Posted August 30, 2003 Won't find it 9 times out of 10 DaBouncer ... I recon that's a pretty opptomistic estimate IMO ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
DaBouncer   13 #11 Posted August 30, 2003 Go and pick up a copy of Paul McKenna's Supreme Self Confidence. May even be able to find it on the web.  A mate of mine (very shy guy) bought it a while back... whether it worked or not for real I don't know. But he deffinately improved by vast amounts in the confidence stakes!  Worth a shot if nowt else! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jamie   10 #12 Posted August 30, 2003 Yeah ... thanks for the tip DaBouncer ... have already added it to my 'wish list' on Amazon ...  You must be a confidence expert if you don't mind me saying so, just from the line of work you're in !?
