| The Northern Panhandle Posted: 1/21/2009 6:56:36 AM | Oh my! There are so many on here (as with most of the dating sites) who are from Spokane, Boise, and CDA. I have often thought to myself, had I moved to Spokane, instead of Priest River, meeting other singles wouldn't be too difficult. There seem to be as many single men as there are women so fishing should be pretty easy for you guys...... but, there are not too many of us singles on POF who live in my neck of the woods.
I moved to this area from California,) in May, 2006 and have met a handful of really wonderful, genuine, people, both male and female and I am thankful for the friendships that I have made although most are not close enough to call and say, "hey, let's do lunch, or let's get a group together and have a barbecue, or simply, "let's get out and do something!" Anything.... even if it's wrong, lol.
So I am calling all other No Idaho singles who would like to get together and mingle, have a group meeting, introduce ourselves. I know there must be others out there thinking the same????? Let's connect. :) | |

| The Northern Panhandle Posted: 1/21/2009 6:13:12 PM | I knew it! There are NO singles in this area.... ROFLMFO. This explains the problem that I have been having.
I know the weather is foul (darn right cold and ugly) and a new storm is headed our way... but we could plan a meet and greet in spring? A group picnic in a park? A potluck???? A BBQ????? Bowling? Open to any and all suggestions.
Come on No Idaho singles..... come out come out where ever you are.... don't be shy! | |

~OP~ I can assure you, it's not just No ID ~ it's the ENTIRE state. I hate to be cynical because you clearly have an optimistic outlook ~ but I'm a lifer here (and yes, it's just like prison!!) Unless you are lucky enough to find a single implant (like yourself) or are willing to travel ~ we're just simply doomed. At least you live in a beautiful part of the state ~ that's worth something.  | |

| The Northern Panhandle Posted: 2/9/2009 5:58:59 PM | OMG Green! You are definitely a cutie patootie! If you are having a hard time finding a guy and you are a lifer here...... ??????? You might be right. We are doomed!  | |

| The Northern Panhandle Posted: 3/24/2009 10:07:46 PM | | Hey, I'm currently living in CDA but nobody on POF really seems to be very interested in me or rather wants anything to do with me. only because I don't fit their catagory of what their looking for in a guy. I'm from california as well, born and raised in sacramento and because of living in the city most of my life, I've never been one to be the outdoorsy type of guy, so I prefer to stay at home and watch movies or something. well that, and my social anxiety. but if I happen to find somebody who is willing to meet somewhere, then I'll climb out from under my rock , enjoy the fresh air and see if a connection can be made. | |

| The Northern Panhandle Posted: 5/8/2009 11:59:45 AM | I live up north and I SWEAR I'm going camping & fishing by myself this year. I say it every year but this time I'm loading up my little honda hatchback and GOING! I did buy my fishing licence so I'm one step ahead. I have everything you need to camp thanks to the Second hand places and they have the BIG Yard sale at the fair grounds, anyone want to join me?
I just want to camp & fish and chat! | |

| The Northern Panhandle Posted: 6/5/2009 2:30:27 PM | | Well Im a little late to the discussion, but I live in Coeur d'Alene also and I'd love to get together and meet some single people. | |

| The Northern Panhandle Posted: 6/11/2009 8:19:53 AM | Hello, I'm from North Idaho, there is plenty of singles in N.Idaho, I was born and raised here. I'm sorry you feel your doomed or in prison If your a transplant here let me give you my opinion of people in Idaho. We have some of the most friendily people around, I have been to the East coast, down south and a few other places in my life. The most friendily people I met was Seattle and Portland area. But I always return to Idaho, now being born here I think the problem is Idaho people are very much a leave me alone I'll leave you alone type of people, so they will be friendily (Open a door, wave and smile) but they don't push things. It's just the way we were raised I think, so it might take a little more push from you, maybe a push isn't the right word but showing you don't want left alone (I don't really know how to put that), there's like a shell there you have to get through. Thats why I think Portland and Seattle are so friendily, they have that Pacific Northwest friendilyness, but there not so leave me alone I will leave you alone, Also not as much hustle and bustle. Thats what I found on the East Coast was everyone was in such a hurry they just didn't have time to be friendily, we used to walk down the street just saying "Hello, hows your day" to people and the most comman reaction was like yeah what do you want. As for getting together I love the idea, and there are alot of singles on POF but how many read the forums. I think if we wanted to do something like you suggested you would have to get the word out somehow, I know I would go. | |

| The Northern Panhandle Posted: 6/14/2009 7:36:16 PM | I love that everyone has jumped in here and given their thoughts and opinions on single live in Idaho in general. Perhaps you are exactly right. People might be leave me alone and I will leave you alone, in their thinking. You have to remember that I am from California and meeting singles wasn't a difficult thing to do. Everyone is very outgoing and very few are shy.... especially if they see something they like, lol.
It seems that us Idaho singles are spread all over the state. We have people posting from the north, the south and in between. Planning a get together might not be such an easy thing after all, but sharing our ideas and plans is pretty cool.
I like the gals spunk who says she is going camping by herself this year. I hope she does it. I got out my golf bag and decided to dust them off. I am going to get back in to the game. It was a great way to get some sun, exercise and meet nice people. Now if I can just remember how to hit the ball, lol.
The point is, I have come to realize that love, friendship, people will not come knocking at your door. You have to get out and about and mingle. Thank goodness summer (well maybe? Hard to tell from day to day) is finally here. We can lose the cabin fever and go have some FUN! | |
