    I been single for too long and tried really hard to meet some-one in this town.

    I done clubs, course's, nights etc. Done online dating (it seem not many people from the midland area sign up to those dating website.) and the women are do meet are time-wasters and head wreckers.

    I spoken to people who moved to Tullamore for work reasons and they notice how hard it is to meet new people here and glad there married befroe they got here.

    Most of my friends are diveded into two. One group who are single (Same poblem as me) and another group who are basicaly marrying their first girl/boy friend's as they know how hard it is to meet some one and see our struggle. Due to fear staying in the one relationship.

    So does anyone agree with me? Have you found it hard to meet people living in Tullamore? Any ideas/suggestion?

    Friends of mine live in Edenderry (sorry if that's not anywhere near Tullamore, I just know it's Offaly!) and they meet loads of people through Macra Na Feirme. If you're under 35 it might be worth looking in to. Not just for the farmers these days, probably more women than men now. All the best.

    Have you thought of expanding your search beyond the midlands? I know online dating works for lots of people but there's nothing quite like getting out there and actually meeting face to face. I've went to a few organised singles events and got a few dates out of them - no love yet, but you never know! They have been in Dublin but I've meet a few people on them from the midlands.
    The company I've used are really personable, it's called www.FirstDate.ie and they organise things like wine tasting and dinner dating.

    Good luck with meeting someone.

    There's a singles event in Kavanaghs Bar Portlaoise on the 31st of March,

    as said earlier Macra Na Feirme is a good way to meet people.

    Also you said you were interested in sport, there is a new softball team in the midlands. Its a Co Ed team sport, recreational in the main. There will be an open day in April, date to be confirmed but will be posted here, that might interest you.

    She canceled at the last minute. She said family emergency. But she canceled twice before back in Jan with lame excues (I stop bothering with her after that.) It was her who got back in contact with me and suggested meeting up Friday night. I texted her today and she said eveything was fine, so don't know what to think.

    Aight John - I wouldn't even waste my time. Forget about her, delete her digits and if she contacts you again, tell her to jog on.

    She sounds like a headwreck.


    *wonders if she knows any of these people...*
