Well, if you like him that much give him a call. Ask him out and see what develops. If it works out, good for you. If it doesn't at least you tried. You can the go fishing in the big ocean knowing that at least you tried with him.

sorry for that rude answre. Give your self time. the dating scene is a little faster. I think if you go on a few dates, very simple ones, like coffee or something then you will get used to being out there again. It's scary and awkward but once you get the hang of it you will adjust!\n Good luck!

Absolutely, I am a true believer in that. Just start small. Try new things like going to the gym, joining some type of organization that will get you around new people. You may even meet new friends that way. You may even find someone and ask them out on a date. Take things slowly to find out what you really want and don't want. If your really interested in dating people now, try a dating service or try online dating, just becareful and use common sense. Definitely don't rush into anything! Take your time and look around!

Have you tried finding friends in your neighborhood? Find a nice person, and maybe take a walk with them in the afternoon. Get to know them. Go to the mall or a resteraunt, and start a conversation with someone, dont sound desperate though. Later, when you have to leave say, maybe we can talk sometime, you can come over maybe and we can have a barbeque or something! Good Luck!!\n\nP.S. try Yahoo Ansers too.....some ppl give u their e-mails and maybe you can visit them.\n\nGood Luck and hope this helps!

How small is the small town? And how old are you? If you live in a town of say 2500 people in western Iowa or South Dakota or some such (beautiful) place, then you need to make friends with as many "ordinary" guys as you can, both to extend your "reach" and for your own protection, once you are outed (which is inevitable in a place where everyone knows everyone else's business).\n\nIf you are in such a small town anywhere in the East or the South or the eastern Midwest, then you should have little trouble finding prospects using Internet sites like gaydar and Yahoo Personals.\n\nIf your idea of a small town is say 40K to 100K in for example a 40-square-mile area, then you will have many more possibilities using the Internet.\n\nIf you live in a remote area but are in or near a college town, and if you have good social skills, then enroll in a course or two in the evenings and summers. Then you have an excuse to be on campus, where you can meet all kinds of (usually) open-minded people with whom you share interests. In such a setting you can form a few new acquaintances, including teachers and other staff, and let them know you are gay, and then you can see who likes to socialize with you, and, well, I think you can take it from there!\n\nSimply create a network so that you can in a very natural way let it be known that you are single and seeking. This takes time, so don't expect to get dates immediately. Homophobia is less acute when people (the prospective homophobes) are well acquainted with the gay person(s) in their midst. And more people will help you identify dating prospects if they know your character.\n\nI know the problem you are speaking of very well, having lived in small towns all my life. Maybe my advice seems overly cautious to you, but that is based on my experience that homosexual activity is more taboo where there is less anonymity (i.e., in rural areas, where everyone knows everyone else's business). So, unless you want to be ostracized or even victimized, you have to work within the social norms of the area where you live.\n\nAnd forget about trying to seduce straight guys (like by getting them drunk and watching some porn together, as some other persons have suggested), because that kind of behavior will get you talked about or worse and will cause other people to feel suspicious toward or dislike gay men in general.\n\nSo just take it easy, be yourself, and form what seem to be real friendships, and soon enough other (including straight) people will be happy to help the really nice gay guy they know to meet someone else they know in the area.

Ask your friends if they know of someone who is single. You need to be out in order to meet someone,but it doesn't mean the bar scene. Music in the park? (if you have them where you live) Social events.Good luck.

1) Online Dating.\n\n2) Do Volunteer Work.\n\n3) If religous, try church.\n\n4) Local singles events (check your local paper and online).\n\n5) Try Speed Dating.\n\nThese are just a few. The simple fact is that single women are everywhere. You just need to show confidence in communicating with them no matter what the medium. Right now, the #1 way that singles meet is through online dating.

It isn't easy getting back into the dating scene but the good news is that it is possible.  Bookstores are a great starting place because you know that you already have that passion for reading in common with people there.  Start paying attention to who you see there and just like back in high school take time to simply say hi every time you see them.  Look into other interests that you have and how you can connect with similar people by pursuing those interests.  The Internet is actually not a bad place to look either though you do have to be careful and fight through all the idiots.  I would say that the Internet is a lot like the old bar scene where there were a hundred losers per every good person there.  Have faith, I survived to find love again and so will you.

Start speed dating and be truthful about your self (your a virgin). There's many people out there like you. You just keep searching instead of waiting. \n\nOthers:\n\nInternet match making\nChat forums (be careful though).\nArrange marriage services.

Well, if you're that desperate (after three months only??!!!) i can recommend a singles bar, or what about a dance club....or--oh yeah--become a           ! Just put on some revealing clothes and strut down a street filled with construction workers and punks. I'm sure you'll get SOME kind of relationship!\n\nGrr....stop being so desperate!  if you're lonely get some friends or hang with family--life doesn't revolve around boys....goodness racious! Three months is NOT that long. Try 20 years and THEN i'll give you the advice you want.  But right now, stick with friends......boys are NOT worth so many stupid questions! :)

It takes more than praying.  Go and find them!  Try church groups, religious themed dating websites, and always be on the look out.  Best of luck.

First of all i must say you have a good head on your shoulders. You are going about the career thing the right way. First ask yourself if you werea  good guy where would you go and hang out at on the weekend. Second you need to join some social groups, places where relationship minded or marriage minded people will be at: church, helping the poor, tennis club(you get the picture). Dont believe everyone who says to stop trying so hard , that love will find you when u arent looking. Thats a load of crap. You must put urself in a place that will increase your chances of finding mr right. Remember though it all starts with your heart, listen to it and listen to your mind also and u wont go wrong.

I am a single mom and have bascially been single, minus a few not-so-serious relationships, now for seven years. I've gone through periods when I've seriously been looking for someone to settle down with and  times when I've been desperately lonely but hadn't the energy to try again. \n\nThe one thing I HAVE learned over the past few years of dating and not dating, is not to ever settle for less than what you deserve. It may mean that you may go through years of being alone but I truly believe it is much better to be alone than with someone who is not right for you. \n\nDepending on your situation, I think the possiblities of where and how to meet a potential boyfriend are endless. Start spending time on yourself. Go places that interest you.....put yourself out there.......everywhere, with and without your child(ren). Chances are that if you meet this person at a museum or maybe a through other family members, other than the bar scene, you'll have more in common. \n\nDon't  dwell on the fact that you're single; sometimes it shows and you may look a little desperate and then definately will attract the wrong type of guy who could possibly be an oportunist looking for his next prey. When you start doing more just for you and your family you WILL start to feel better about yourself and your situation. It is this positivity that most definately attract the right type of people and soon enough you will realize that being alone isn't a curse and THAT"S when Mr Right is bound to step in and like you for who you are.

well the previous answers are all right...dont go looking for it; magicaly it will come to you...there is a saying in spanish "mejor sola que mal acompanada" which means "its best to be alone, rather than be with bad company" When a person is imature and not ready for a relationship they will lie and they will cheat because they are not ready and far to imature. remember to be true to yourself and to others...dont change or pretend to be what your not... there is a fit for every shoe... so just be a little more patient... there are date search sites... which might be a good thing to distract yourself with...but dont get too carried away\ni know ppl who have gotten into a spot of trouble going into those things... so just enjoy life while you can...
