I've been having trouble meeting really nice guys to date and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to go.  I'm trying to stay away from the bar scene.  Thanks!

i would say nice guys don't have to be found they just come... you will find a nice guy just don't focus so much on looking for it.

I am totally on the same page!  I'm so tired of jerks.  Met a guy the other day, hot, seemed real nice.  He got my number, seemed real attentive.  Then he disappeared.  A girl was dancing like a stripper and he was all up in that!  Jerk.  \nI think the nice ones are too shy or already taken.

Dating sites are great ways to meet people.  I met my husband on seniorfriendfinders.com, and there is match.com, Dr. Phil is on there now helping, also friendfinders.com - some give you free trials.  I'm so glad i did it, I met the man I love more than anything.

i cano often be found at church.  im only 22, but hey, age is just a number.  seriously though, we are a bit harder to find than an average guy.  usually (i know in my case) we are a bit shy.  we don't often hit on girls, we think it rude.  ergo, nice guys finish last.  some of us do respect women, personally i had no choice growing up, having 4 sisters, no brothers until i was 11, and a step dad that i really didnt get along with, it wasnt hard to learn.\n\n\n\nmaybe try lowes, or star nursery.  stay away from wal mart though.  unless you want a good deal on something.  \n\n\ni got you beat on how long its been since a date, too.  i know its not a contest and i probably get the loser award, but im working on 22 1/2 yrs.  also known as "never"

guys wanna meet girls.  we dont really plan furhter than that usually.  however, a bar hook up almost never lasts.  a club hook up is likewise more physical than anything.  try cafes, starbucks, rallys, places where people are: a. sober b. paying attention and c. able to actually have a conversation.  this way if there is a hook up its about more than how you dance or the drunken flirting you both participated in.

Are you attractive? Obviously. Without any male competition(boyfriend or husband) most men will be even braver than ever. I was with some army buddies when one of them came running into the bar-" There's this bar next door and its full of women!" We went in and found out it was a lesbian bar but even though no body hooked up it was fun hanging with people who liked women just as much we do with out the cockblocking tension.

Nice guys tend to be in nice places. You won't catch a brook trout in a storm sewer. Join a church or the Young Democrats or the Young Republicans or the Sierra Club. Volunteer for a work day at Friends of the River. Join a gym. Look for single dads at your kids' activities. Stay clear of bars.\n\nTake it very, very slow. Assuming you are past 35, from the list of problems, you will probably have to settle for someone 10 - 15 years older than you. It is an ugly fact of life that there are about 2 nice women for every nice guy out there, so the guys can pick and choose.\n\nMy wife works in a large medical building with a lot of nurses. We belong to a large church, and I work for a meduim sized-corporation. The lack of reasonable men is astounding. I know just 2 single men I would not hesitate to introduce to anyone. I know a dozen women I wish I could pair up with nice guys.

I think dating sites are bs too. I hadnt had a girl friend for about 2 years and decided to get on the websites. I would send messages and never recieved any. Well after posting a question on here about dating site problems. Someone told me to be a man and go find a women. I did and it wasnt on a website.

Oh, no, don't try chat rooms! I'm begging you - I can tell you very bad experiences about that. How large is the town in which you live? Is there a gay community center? They often have singles groups. Is there an MCC church? Even if you are not a religious person they may have activities in which you could participate or opportunities to volunteer. Volunteering on any lesbian related project is always good. Do you like sports? That can be a good way to meet girls, too. (And if you are a terrible athlete, like me, remember that they always need a right fielder!) Are you in college? Does your school have a gay alliance? Are you in high school? If there is a gay community center in your town then they might have a youth group. And, yes, Home Depot is always good! (and in Denver so are folk concerts for some reason) And be nice to all the lesbians you meet, even if you're not interested in hooking up. Some one who is way too old and in a couple might have a wonderful friend, niece or daughter.

Definitely! It used to be considered the best place to meet other singles--until single people started insisting on inviting a date. Too bad, because they missed a great opportunity to meet others in a fun, safe environment.

not me. i think its pretty dumb. many questions are like "is there guys/grils in (blah)? want to go out with me"\n\nthose are like soo annoying. Its like dont lyou know that its not safe meeting strangers on the internet? Also if you are a dating material then why not go to places where you meet new people?

Absolutely, start at church and church functions,  the grocery store is always a good spot.  Laundrey Mats are OK (not great), avoid bars and that whole scene. Don't be afraid to ask a guy to join you for a meal or a walk. Keep it casual. The thing I see most often is a guy or a gal who are only interested if they see you as a potential mate.(and start planning their whole life on the first date)  Avoid that pitfall.  Look for a friend..a bunch of them..the more the better..and the rest will follow.
