where to meet people who are date worthy
 
Not online. I've long since ignored the emails from the dating website.

I've semi met people through work in the past.. But my current job really has nothing to offer.

My last boyfriend i met through friends at highschool..

So.. Anywhere other than those three, that is not awfully difficult for a social misfit?

_slavo_ 01.20.2010 07:41 AM

A question comes to mind - you're not with your boyfriend anymore?

phoenix 01.20.2010 07:53 AM

kind of had enough.
kind of(very) sacred to be alone,(its been 4 yrs)
But lately it's just been wearing me down, along with some other health things.. and i don't see it ever really being fixed.. The things that make the relationship difficult. We've talked/fought about the same particulars so many times. I know the conversations by heart. They're almost boring. But i know that they will always happen.. It's just too much to 'accept' now, as being what my life is..

phoenix 01.20.2010 07:56 AM

having said that, i don't particularly need to find someone to date long term right now.. I'd just like to start meeting some people who could have the potential to be awesome

pbradley 01.20.2010 07:57 AM

Try striking up a conversation at a supermarket? Or a cafe?

Keeping It Simple 01.20.2010 07:57 AM

The library.

Keeping It Simple 01.20.2010 08:14 AM

Try the train station, or airport.

tesla69 01.20.2010 09:29 AM

Do people really see the workplace as a legitimate place to meet people for sex? After seeing too many stupid situations it just seems like a very bad idea.

You should just resign yourself to spending the rest of your life alone and buy a big TV, a puppy and a big box of tissue to cry yourself to sleep every night.

atsonicpark 01.20.2010 09:29 AM

Go to the ball gag store.

Or a shibari cafe.

I know what you mean. It happened to me with my previous relationship where I jumped straight from it (4 years) to the current one(3,5 and running).
My advice - breathe out, take your time and try to enjoy the time by yourself. Grab some money, travel somewhere, do something that you've always dreamt of and that didn't include any other person. It's not the best thing to do to rush things and have the urge to date somebody right away, trust me.

Derek 01.20.2010 10:47 AM

Go to a gig.

Rob Instigator 01.20.2010 11:06 AM

The best advice I ahve ever gotten on this subject is to think abou the kind of places you LOVE to spend time in.
It is in these places that you are likely to find someone with similar interests and a similar frame of mind.
These can be anything from libraries, to museums, to record stores, to your favorite park.
bars are terrible for anything other than funding a fuck.

Glice 01.20.2010 11:18 AM

Whenever I see people talking too much in a library I'm sickened to my very core. Call me a puritan if you like, but libraries are places for solitary contemplation, reading and - AT MOST - baleful sighing.

I agree with tesla - don't dip your pen in the company ink.

I tend to find the key to getting ass is to get a new group of friends. One of them will probably hop on the sex train, or repeat until success.

From my experience, the most awkward and anxious is asking someone out after class.

I agree, but it is still a nice place to meet people who may share common interests. one can chat over cofee afterwards

Well, I am a library Nazi. If I go to the library before 10 it's fine. For some reason, between 10am and about 6pm (later around exam times) there's nothing but fucking cunts talking about how pissed they were at the weekend, listening to music on their phones, looking at 'hilarious' facebook photos. In an academic library! I go to the public library and there's a few old dears talking under their breath, and even then not very often. Young people these days have no library protocol.

Rob: I don't know if you've noticed, but attractive girls aren't into the sort of books I'm into. Maybe you've been browsing the books about handbags section of the library too much?

amerikangod 01.20.2010 01:11 PM

You should score dudes on SYG.

27/m/NY. a/s/l??? u wanna trade pix???

amerikangod 01.20.2010 01:12 PM

And just to weigh in on this whole library thing... chicks that can read usually don't have huge knockers.

I've gained a little weight and my desk fan stopped working since then.

not everyone is attracted to giant boobs.

chicka 01.20.2010 01:58 PM

Never mind the dating right now get the hell out of that relationship if it's such a drag. If there's nothing there why keep running into the wall? When the right person walks into your life you'll know and all the nervousness about "let's go have a coffee or a beer" will disappear

is where it's at

so what this long vague paragraph says is that you haven't fully dumped him yet, right?

if so-- does hand-solo know your plans? or is this for you going behind his back?

maybe i misread this, so clarification would be helpful.

i'd lke to take credit for thinking of it first but toilet & bowels came out & said it in a post-- i only refrained from speaking my mind earlier because i was bored of phoenix assuming that my playful sadism meant i hated her.

anyway, there is a true story behind that name, not sure again if i'm up for explaining it & should let those directly involved explain first.

greedrex 01.20.2010 03:41 PM

it's excellent nonetheless.

dale_gribble 01.21.2010 12:02 AM

fuck relationships, you should dedicate your time to something better like a drug addiction or a carpet sample collection.

it is a little complex, and really I wouldn't have even written what I did, rather PM'd slavo, but didn't really think too much of just one post. As much as I don't have too many issues talking about my life to a certain extent, I don't feel I need to write out everything. There won't be an exam on this at a later date. you know..


haha and no, if people are that interested in the rest of that name they can search my posts. whatev. I'm not writing it out again.

I don't doubt #1 will happen again shortly(I put off taking painkillers for so long with the recent health probs, but eventually gave in after sleepless nights.. and.. yes.. I know what I am like.) but, I've never really had much love for carpet. :P

lasting relationships have been reassuring and comfortable. hook ups have been whirlwind and stellar. I've no real preference this early in my existence..

DeadDiscoDildo 01.21.2010 01:46 AM

I'm not against lasting relationships, Im just saying I haven't found one
