Am I doing all I can?

Jessers

Hi guys,

Ive been single for the past two and a half years and while its been great to have mysel to myself, Im feeling like I would like a man in my life now. Not a serious relationship as im emigrating next summer but just some fun. I seriously have had NOTHING in relation to men in the past two and a half years. Im a very attractive girl with a good personality so im not sure why and I know im not intimidating cos I smile a lot and am really friendly.

The second thing is that none of my friends seem to be around much on weekends so I seem to be stuck in alone a lot which is horrible.

I have enrolled in three midweek night classes and have just subscribed to online dating in an effort to make things better. Anything else I could be doing?

Aside from post pictures, your phone number, and address?*

Take up another hobby if you have the time. If you don't meet anyone for "some fun" you'll at least make a few more friends.

Join a club of some sort at your work perhaps (I'm assuming you are working here). Do you get along with any of your work colleagues? Have a house party or something and invite your friends (tell them to bring along a few people). Thats all I can think of right now.

You too? I can't really advise since I'm still there (though on the other side of the gender divide). I think you've taken some good steps already, it just takes time. Though taking up a hobby and/or a party isn't a bad idea either, all ways of meeting people.

What I will say is I know the feeling of being stuck in alone, you're not the only one.

thank christ.. I was feelin pathetic till now.. Im in the same boat OP... Its crapola... Im too much of a chickenfor onlin dating tho... I asked a few guy mates why I was single to get some feedback and they said that I was a lil intimdating(im not stunning but quite attractive) im funny and i have a good job that pays well... A lot of guys also ASSUME u wouldnt be interested. BUT.. I have been told that sometimes I can be a lil TOO friendly ya know... maybe ask a mate some questions....

Throwing a house party and asking your friends to bring along eligible singles might be fun, but also risky. But it would seem that you are just looking for a short-term playful relationship, so why not?

You are leaving for another country? Maybe there's a group of ex-pats from that country that you could socialise with? Check with the embassy of that country you are going to for leads in Ireland.

Have you approached a male and started idle banter with a view to seeing them again? If not, then no you arent doing as much as you could.

Same applies for you dear.

Ladies. If you spotted a really nice pair of shoes in a shop would you expect the shop assistant to physically put them on your foot, pay for them and then wear them for you? So why on earth do you *expect a guy you like to do all the work? :mad:
