Are there any clubs in your area that have activities you like that you can join?  Does your town ever have any fairs or anything that you can go to?  Try asking a friend if he or she knows any single ladies looking for friends to do things with, and start out that way.

Dont' worry girlfriend!I was in the same boat as you before.I did the bar scene, all my friends were in relationships, and that's what i wanted desperately.So, i would settle, and i got losers.Alot of guys would hit on me, but i just wanted to date, than i would call them back after, and they had a girl.Too late.So, in that time, I just felt out who i was, what i wanted, and focased on my career. That's when i thought, hay, i can just weed out these guys who just wanted a good time.Well, it worked.I wasn't looking for a guy.My true love had found me.When you are least expecting it, it will hit you in the ass.What i am saying is, relax, and it will come.Do not be desperate, and settle. He will find you! Get out there and do stuff that you like, and he will be there waiting for you.Good luck!

Unfortunately dating is always tricky and probably hasn't changed a whole lot since you were last single other than the addition of the internet.  No matter what you do there is no guaranteed way of avoiding the ones you don't want.  For beginners I recomend sticking to activities that you enjoy.  If you like dancing or something like that try taking a class.  Don't be afraid of the internet, but be prepared to have to filter out a lot of trash to find a few nuggets of gold.

I understand where you are coming from and I too am single and feel that I will be forever unless I do something pretty soon!. I am a very lovely and single, beautiful 33 year old and grown out of pubs and clubbing where there are streams of teenagers and mid twenties.  \n\nThere is no where in my town appropriate for people of my age socializing-wize and used to meet my partners whilst at University so now I am no longer a student, this makes things akward again!.  Everywhere I go, I see married couples and loved-up youngsters or singles like myself. Most are all now on the internet but I am so wary of that stuff when there are married men posing as single on these sites and men who post on every sight in search of more than one love-interest.\n\nIt is diffocult I must admit but the trick is to remain optomistic and be very specific about what you are looking for in a man and then go to places that you are most likely to meet these types of men. Bars and clubs are okay, but there are a lot out there looking for fun only and unless you are prepared for that and happy with it until you get to know a guy, then sitting around will do not much good either.\n\nI am more conscious as I have gotten older but also more decided about what I want in a man and that is friendship.  This is the best basis for all relationships to be lasting.  I am determined to be married but once I get myself off my but and start making things happen.

first thing everybody who asks this question needs to know is this: YOU CANNOT MAKE PEOPLE LIKE YOU. you can try everything; changing yourself, different clothes, potions, salves, death threats, but you can't get in a person's head and force them to think certain thoughts.\n\nHaving said that,  my tried and true method is talking. get to know the vict...er, guy! show off your great personality and what a fun person you really are. If you're not comfortable dating right off the bat, ask him to do something social, with a group of friends. and really be with all your friends if and when you go. that way, you're not singling anybody out, and you are assured of a good time even if this guy isn't a picknic to be around. If you want to be mano-e-mano with this person, you need to leave your other friends at home. no matter how shy you are, it is just RUDE with a capital R to drag people around and then play kissey-kissey or give all your attention to one person.\n\nIf you do decide to go for a one-on-one date, go somewhere neutral. Stay away from low or bad lighting, and DON'T BE ALONE. this means: don't go over to his house when nobody's there, or be in deserted parts of town, or anything like that. This will reassure you that he isn't going to jump you, and will put him at ease that you won't pounce him like a tigress in heat.\n\nAnd then, when you are together, talk. talk about anything and everything, and enjoy yourself. if you can't relax around this person, you may be kidding yourself. it's normal to be nervous first date, but after a while you should be able to put yourself at ease. and as much talking as you do, be sure to come up for air. this is VERY important. Letting the other person talk does a variety of things; first it sends the message that you're not just interested in yourself, but you want to hear what they have to say. Second, you learn a little more about this person and get a better idea if you want to stick around. and third, you can hear if he wants to be around you. you will hear many auditory clues from a disinterested person. Listen and watch while you talk. are they engaged? are they giving body signals that they are paying attention? or are their eyes wandering, their limbs twitching, their head swiveling? Are they answering you in complete sentences, or are they answering questions that aren't yes or no with "I dunno..."? above all, pay attention to what they say when they speak! just as you are seeing if they like you, you are checking to see if you like them.\n\nTrust yourself, and be confident, and you will never steer yourself wrong. Good luck!

I'm 26, and not 2, and not from CO.  Go to a bar and find someone.  \n\nGood luck!

hey, i went online, maybe you can too.  I've gotten lots of attention but haven't found anyone yet that I'm interested in dating full time.  It takes time but if you meet this person online, you could get to know her a little better and then maybe after a few emails, a few message sessions, and a few phone calls you might actually work up your courage to go on a date.  It might work!

You sound like an intelligent person and fun to be with... but it would be wise if you get to know someone in person first BEFORE you open up an invitation to have a date with you, don't you agree??\n\nGuess it just goes to show that I'm from the 'old' school... Good luck in your search though!

Any and everywhere.  Set aside, for a moment, the idea of looking for your next relationship and focus for a time on having a good time.  Strike up conversations with people you find attractive in line at the movies, at bars, restaurants, in the grocery store, book store, or wherever you go to pursue your interests.  \n\nMeanwhile, ask your friends to set you up with dates and go with the express intent of "practicing" dating - in other words, go with zero expectation of starting something.  If you have fun, great - you've met your goal.  \n\nSet goals for yourself like, "today I will talk to nine strangers I think are attractive" and go out and hit those goals.  Eventually, you'll meet someone with whom you really click.  The secret is giving up the attachment to having a relationship.

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 had the same problem when I first moved here (Texas).  I came from Upstate New York, where guys are way more foreward---  people are more reserved here in that way, it seems.  Put yourself out there---  ask someone out for coffee, ask to meet for lunch, you know, little "safe" dates.  After a few of these, you should know yourself if this is a person you really want to date.  Don't do the bar scene dating---  you meet so many crazy, wild people who don't really want a relationship.  Another idea:  ask close friends or relatives to "set you up".  Or, you may try Yahoo! personals.  It sounds risky, and may be, but I met the most awesome man online 14 months ago and we have an incredible relatioship!

The way to start dating is getting your self in the right frame of mind and haveing a desire to go out and have fun. Where is totally up to you, I personally do not go to bars or parties. I usually meet women in some the strangest places when I am not looking. Just be yourself and get out there (women don't like fakes). Try stores, museums, anyplace a women would go by herself or with girlfriends. Above all do not become deperate or obnoxious. Women deserve to be treated well.

When I was dating, I had lots of err interesting experiences.. from men that were a grandfather age. Too married men who wore my drink...who just wanted to get lucky. The the nice guys, who just bought dinner and we didn't click..  It can be fun if you do it safely.. Like a public spot.. we are women after all. \n\nI don't think if I was single again, i would look for a mate on line.  I might try speed dating.. or let someone fix me up.  \n\nGood Luck!

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.

Go to many many local events such as concerts etc, join a club such as line dancing if your into that or a bowling leag. Go to every event your friends may have, a wedding party etc. You can also place an ad in the paper or search for a singles dating place/party in your area online, we have them here in town and i need to go there since im single myself lol. Yahoo personals can be a lot of help too, you just need to be honest about youself and know what you want and be clear in your profile, dont leave anything out such as a picture of yourself, i wont click on any profile without a picture.\nMatch.com and Harmony.com are 2 very good places to place a personal as well, just make sure you fill everything in and it may get you somewhere, oh and keep it local because you dont want to travel thousands of miles to meet and then find there is no sparks. Before meeting her make sure you know A LOT about her, never jump into it and dont believe everything she may tell you and always reply to her e-mail, communication is the keyword when dating online.

Well you can start by emailing me heh and get on an online dating thing...eharmony or something like that.  Go out, do whatever you are interested in doing in your free time and see if by any chance you meet someone you like.
