| Where do Ya meet people when you don't drink , or hang in bars?
Posted: 10/20/2009 4:01:15 AM | I do not drink beer etc either, or smoke. It is hard to find girls, I think, now days that don't want to drink etc at some point.
I remember I tried to hit up a local coffee shop hang out. Talk about no luck. I dated 2 or 3 girls from there. BAD IDEA! I won't go into anymore.
But I do feel ya its hard to find dates that are not into clubing anymore....
Best of luck to all!

The one around here is replete with old hen parties, old men playing chess, foreign students speaking Chinese very loudly and once in a while a girl will pop in and get her order to go and pop out. It sucks!
It's tricky, If you approach a woman in the bar it's socially acceptable. If you approach them in a Book Store or Grocery Store, you come across as creepy. | |

Another thought is to consider support groups where there may be a couple of benefits, one is meeting some people and the other is getting some help and support on a problem. Generally these can be for those in some form of recovery like AA or cancer survivors and sometimes family members affected are welcome into the group so if your sibling or parent died from something there may be some help there in working through the grieving process.
As someone that can't drink due to some of my medications, can't really dance because of my foot problem, as well as having a couple of other health issues like diabetes, I'm probably in a rare case here but I do meet some people going out to play Euchre once in a while. | |

I find that such things work better than blindly asking women out in a random supermarket or something. | |

Posted: 10/20/2009 9:07:14 AM | | get a hobby and join a group, I have done bought a camera, tripod and joined a local photography group in Liverpool on flickr.com who meet at least once a week and post their work online so it's great, whilst not met the man of my dreams YET I have met some really nice people of both genders so I'm hoping I might meet or get to know someone that way who knows ..... in meantime I've changed my preferences on here not really wanting to date now just make some new friends with 'dating' always seems more pressurised whereas now I have an agenda I only really want to meet guys who dig taking pictures or are open to it at least then we have something in common to build on .... | |

Posted: 10/23/2009 7:20:13 AM | that's why you quit looking...
Just let it happen as it'll happen, if you have to force it for someone to notice you it probably won't work out anyway. make friends with people and see what happens...
i find volunteer and joining special interest groups like meetup.com is a good social network, how about school and take special interest courses? | |
