Having problems meeting quality people at bars or the gym? If the answer is yes, it's time to break out of your old routine and try a new adventure.

I go to "Meet Ups" and the groups can be a lot of fun. Whilemy maingroup is just social and we include married couples, children,and singles; we go out to dinner and do interesting things like going to the local Farmer's Market, events, each other houses,etc. ; many groups are based on hobbies and other interests. You can even start your own. Just Goggle it and find your area. It is a great way to meet interesting people with different views and make some good friends.

Honestly, I rarely see "attractive" people at the airport.


Movies make it look so glamorous. Reality is less satisfying.

These suggestions, with the exception of the farmers' market, are aimed at urban areas. siren

The sports or classes thing is not as good as it sounds. Usually at the first meeting of the group you have a pretty good idea whether there is anyone with serious potential. Sure, you could be buddies and hang out for a drink and a meal after a game or class but if there is no one with a great fit you are out of luck - you've paid your fee and you're stuck two nights a week for a season when you could be elsewhere meeting others. If your main reason is the activity itself, then fine. But if you #1 priority is meeting someone, I'd say don't do it.

I think there is someone i like at the gym and i think he likes me too. How do i strike a conversation? He steals a glance all the time! Can you tell if someone is intersted in you? Body language thing?


Good luck

Got moderated - arrgh! Trying again...


Anyone ever tried noonhat? You plug in date, time and location (general area) and it sets you up for a lunch with a group of people... it's a way to meet people in general - you never know who you'll be grouped with, male/female, whatever.


I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds interesting. noonhat c o m
