| It is so hard to be Single in Halton Hills.
Posted: 5/8/2005 10:30:14 PM | No truer words are said about this. Being single here is as bout as exciting as looking for loose change in the sofa. I see lots of Torontoians....and other close GTA people here...but far and few between those that live in my vicinity. And that depresses me. Sure I could travel and go to missassauga or Brampton....but with whom? My friends are all hitched...one has a baby on the way....I truly feel like the last man on Earth out in the twilight zone here. Local bars just don't do it for me...most of the crowd is either far too young or in their own clique as it were.
It seems like I'm winding down before I even got started to wind up...oy vey. | |

Posted: 5/9/2005 6:34:50 AM | Good morning. Hope you had a great weekend. I am rather new to this site and I am still trying to figure out how it works!
...... hmmmm Halton Hills...... ummmm ..... would that be Georgetown? lol ...... that's where I am, bet you are too! Small world isn't it?
I have to agree with you. Not a hell of a lot to do here when you are single ....again. I am in the south part and it seems like there is something in the water supply.... everyone is splitting up!
Cheers,

Posted: 5/9/2005 10:44:31 AM | Well I don't expect women to come knocking on my door (goes to check just to be sure.....nope) but I'm not one for the nightlife anymore. I seriously have no interest in the "disco" scene. I went to the Docks in T.O. like maybe four years ago and was utterly out of my league there. Quiet bars, cafes, maybe a rock concert (although haven't been to one of those in a long time either....last one I saw was of Garbage back in '98 - and deadly ill with the flu at the time too. So no fun for me.)
When you're friends are on the other side of the GTA, you tend to miss the good ol' days when you use to hang out in college with them. Ah memories....my only outlet. Anyway....enough of my sob story. Still sucks to be a halton-ite, but hang out in Brampton?? Hell no. That's a chaos I can do without. Being there isn't what I call fun...more like frusterating and not worth driving into on a daily basis. | |

It's a nice place to be "from". I remember I went back there in the early 90's to one of my old haunts (It used to be called O'Tooles) and basically saw the same people sitting on the same bar stools they had been in when I left. It was like stepping backwards in time... backwards being the key word. Yhough I drive through there once in a while and see many changes, I would never want to live there again. There is something about the town that just doesn't sit right with me but I couldn't put my finger on what it is. My advice? Do what I did... move elsewhere. | |

Posted: 5/9/2005 11:55:08 AM | | And you want to know where I am moving too in about a month and a half's time? Acton. Man, how did I ever come to this. I suppose I could have moved further away...but money matters told me that's as far as I could get. Tried to find a place with a bit more of a population and nightlife, but this house I just bought was the only thing in my price range. I can't complain about the place though...at least I have a home that's good enough for me to be in. I could always pick up and move again in maybe a few years time. Oh god... | |

Posted: 5/9/2005 12:27:06 PM | Acton? Oh man, so many comments come to mind.... but look at the bright side, they closed the tannery a few years ago so you won't have to smell that anymore. But hey if Acton gets too lively there is always Hornby  Sorry, couldn't resist  | |

Posted: 5/9/2005 12:39:44 PM | "Whould you care for some lemon on that open wound?" I know, geez I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I'd end up in Acton. To think of all the years I spent in my youth making fun of the town and now I live in it...how is that for irony.

Try coffee shops, book stores, surely there are places in your town where there are women. Use those creative juices, you should have a date list of about 7-8 potential women, young and old, with and without kids, come on son, get to it! lol | |

Posted: 5/10/2005 7:52:05 PM | Up here? A house now. Just bought one...as much as I wish could move to a more populated area with more to do...this was my only price range I could afford. I can drive of course...that's not the prob...just my hang out crew is non-existant.
I know there are book stores and malls...but if you looked at the malls here...you'd not want to hang out there either. I'm not a teen...and thats all I ever see in there. That and seniors...and I'm not that desperate....yet. | |

Posted: 5/10/2005 9:03:09 PM | | I wish... I don't think the teen community has a problem finding women...seems to be nothing but those in this town. It's just a matter of finding the single scene for adults. | |

What about Toronto or other major cities? Go to some events there. Imagination is the key. | |

Posted: 5/15/2005 2:27:14 PM | | From my experiance it isn't where you live, its more of how far are you willing to go to meet the person. Most areas are easily accessible from Georgetown and Acton, you need to be flexible, you know the quote mountian isnt going to come to you so you need to go to the mountian. | |
