Posted: 2/23/2006 2:08:34 AM | Man of Ink-- great humor. And on the more serious side, you posted:
I speak to women who smile. For some reason, women my age do not smile much. They have a kind of pensive and calculating look as if waiting to defend themselves against a panhandler. So unless I have met someone online it is unlikely I will find anyone to speak with in the course of the day. There are specific venues for singles. Beyond those, it is slim pickings offline. I realize that women only smile at men they find attractive in the first place. To meet women my age I would probably go to a singles event of some kind, if not for the fact I don't go to those things.
I smile and not just to attractive men ... but hey, why not  either way, usually get a return smile.
Grocery stores... forget about it. Most men are in a hurry, or are on their cell phones.
Lessons: Dance, golf, tennis, kayaking, archery, art, music, etc. The list is endless.
School: Take a college course either for credit or fun. Most of the students in the evening classes are adults sharing the same learning experience.
Clubs: Toastmasters, music, study, ski, tennis, golf, books, boats, etc. Again, the list is endless.
Sports--
Arts: Historical societies, music, little theater-- creative writing
POF
There are areas where you would find common interests with your own, but like I keep telling my younger brother, get out, get involved -- that special one is NOT going to come knocking on your door. | |

Posted: 2/23/2006 12:45:19 PM | | I meet a lot of hot-ass single older women at the local Presbyterian Church. The have Wednesday night singles night. Of course I'm not Christian, but it's a great target market. Women out-number the men. It helps to memorize a few little biblical passages before you go, just so you can talk the talk and get things started. Last week, I managed to get a little play back in the church rectory from this hot 41 year old nurse. Praise the Lord! | |

I've done:
work; friends; family; neighbours; singles dances; charity; sports clubs; sports lessons; bars;
college courses ... you name it ... I've been there.
And NONE of it has produced even ONE date!!!!
It's pathetic!!!
But ... since I've been on this website ... about 4 mths. now ... I've met 6 men ... and am meeting #7 this weekend ... (and possibly #3 again ... ok, he's getting a second chance).
I've dated more in this last 4 mths. than I have in YEARS! ... It's great!
I went into this with the attitude that at the very LEAST ... I would make new friends.
Therefore ... I am usually always willing to meet (unless I get bad vibes from the very beginning). I don't take any date too seriously ... I just get out there and try to make sure that both of us have fun and hopefully ... by the end of the date ... we will want to do it again. If "we" don't (meaning either one of us doesn't) ... then we say a friendly goodbye and good luck in your search). No harm... no foul. Isn't that what "dating" should be ... just ... trying each other on for size (so to speak).
If I looked for "the one" in every date ... my God ... I would drive myself crazy!
My only goal ... when I meet my dates... is to have a good time... that's it!!!!
Anything beyond that is all bonus!!
And I'm having a ball!!! | |

Posted: 2/24/2006 9:49:03 AM | Auntie... I agree with you 100% and have stated so more than just a couple of times in these forums... this question comes up often. Thought I'd take a different tack, because I think one has to be interested and interesting-- learning and doing is part of life too, and bringing that part of one's self to any friendship/relationship is always a good thing. My opinion.
I am having a great time in my own life. I am happy and well-adjusted and know what I want and won't accept less. And like I've said before, I like that woman in the mirror.
I, like you, after I feel comfortable in meeting with him in the first place -- do not go to the meeting with any other expectations than to have a fun time and to enjoy getting to know the person I am with. And I don't email endlessly to get to that point. That's stupid. Get to that table... face-to-face. Find your answers to all those 20 questions then. And with absolutely NO PRETENSE, I try to do my part in making it a pleasant experience for us both. That way if it doesn't work... I don't feel my time was entirely wasted, I happen to think I learn something of value from everyone I meet.
And he shouldn't feel he wasted his time either. Both have feelings. And just like you say, it works! And if it does click. Then Wow! That's even better.
As I've stated several times in these threads with the same general question... my philosophy is, that if I'm not having fun and I can't laugh, then I move on. | |

Posted: 2/28/2006 3:11:02 PM | | This singles night at Walmart started with their stores in Germany. I think they have it on Friday night and they increase the number of people in the store quite a bit. The experimen wa a sucess so they offered it in USA, Japan, England. The one in the USA was in Roanoke Virginai. Sorry if I misspelled that. It ran for about four weeks and then the company shut it down. They just anouncedthat they were ending it and did not give any reason why. I think it would be fun myself. They even had stations for shy people in certain parts of the store. Last I heard the 70 or so stores in Germany still have it. | |

Posted: 2/28/2006 4:19:53 PM | I have found that no matter what your age, if you just do the things you like best and are basically friendly to people, the person you are looking for will just show up there doing the same things.
As far as over 45 people, the same thing applies. If you are over 45, you are probably not going to be at a head bangers ball or bungee jumping off bridges in the middle of the night, etc, so neither are that many other 45 plus' gonna be there.
On the other hand, you are not likely to find a lot of very young people attending a talk on archeology, investments strategy, etc unless it is a university do.
Another good place is what I'd say alongside of more youthful activities. In other words if you go to a ski resort, you'd find the over 45 types not on the slopes during the day but more likely in the lodge enjoying the scenery and ambiance.
If it is sophisticated over 45'ers you like, there is nothing like a museum, art gallery, or symphony performance. No offense intended to you younguns, but there is a greater percentage of over 45ers than youngsters who can afford the price of symphony tickets in the loge.
Same basic advice as during the sixties.... just do your thing, man! | |
