dating and relationships Posted 11-28-2002 19:58

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi! I am 27 year old female. I am still in school. I am having the hardest time meeting the right person to date. I keep getting in bad relationships or going through very very long dry spells. Anybody have any adive for me.

Sounds like me as a male version lol. I think I'm just a loss sometimes meeting people or trying to maintain anything serious. Where does one go? In my city I guess, you have to go to bars or clubs, and that's just not my scene. For a woman I think it'd be worse especially if you have standards and morals and enjoy a guy who doesn't pass out on the floor after too many rounds:) I hear there are single parties every month or so in the papers, big social events often with free prizes and mingling and a a safe environment.
I think joining any social club, whether it be a hobby or a sport or class, would be an excellent way to try and get your foot in the door.
Now i should only take my own advice...!

And at some point somebody will start a dating service for ADD singles....:) hopefully.....

dancing classes are good, as long as instantly being in the arms of someone doesn't make you too nervous- bookstores, or anywhere really, as long as you're extroverted.

Guys really appreciate it when a woman initiates conversation.

I'd recommend dating people you normally wouldn't initially go for- obviously you're attracted to the wrong kind from what you said.

Why not try making some new friends who may turn into more? At worst, you've got a new friend, and that ain't bad.

I think its even harder if you are your thirties! Bookstore sounds like a good idea and I find I'm being "eyed" at the store, however I have a huge intimidating room mate (who I am not interested in at all) that shops with me (he owns the car). So no one talks to me. Sigh.

Kassie: Perhaps at bookstores, you could tell your roomie that that you would like to sit alone at your own table (i.e. at Borders or Barnes and Nobles) for awhile...because you get distracted (do you? I do.) when someone else is sitting with you at the table....and so concentrating on reading, or whatever is difficult..with someone else at your table...I am sure he would understand that...THEN others at the store would think you were "alone"...:) OR could he drop you off at a bookstore or other place and pick you up at an arranged time?

hi amy,
I was diagnosed last week add. and severe auditory processing.
it's quite hard for me too because I live on an island where there are no women 9 months a year. I can count the girlfreinds I've had on one hand. as for sex? oh, hey wait, sex! now i remember!
anyhow, if you want to write back then I'm

Hello Bobjr508/dan rezendes -- You're in Nantucket? Well, if you're going to be on a desserted island, that's probably one of the nicest ones you can be on...I grew up in Massachusetts and my parents used to take us there....:) Good luck with meeting the girl of your dreams....I appreciate your sense of humor.....:)

Hi- Im 28, single and looking also.

What a pain!!

tami I'm 34 & still looking.

how do I put my picture under my name?

so, does everyone here have problems dating, or is it the meeting of people?

Tami612: I have a hunch it's a little of both...:) First it's hard to meet compatible people and then once people do meet and decide they will date, then the challenge of the dating comes....:( I've always had problems with both, actually....it is very hard to meet compatible people, however, to begin with.....but I made a good friend here on forums, a very good friend....so....who knows what's in your future as well???
