Anyone else fed up with being single right now?

General consensus is to smile more and endear men or women to you. You're welcome for my insight.

Why don't you organise a night out in LK! The perfect opportunity for you to mingle with them. Even if 5 out of 30 showed up, it's still a good display.

I work as a computer programmer, so pretty much an equal but opposite problem.

I know a lot of people complain about being friendzoned, but honestly at this stage I'd probably welcome that, just so I can have a little bit of interaction going. Talking to women isn't something I'm generally good, and I'm not getting any better in such a male dominated industry.

Yeah I totally get what you mean. Being friends with the opposite sex would open a few doors anyway, the social circle would widen and you'd never know who you might meet!

You're blessed amongst women. The odds are definitely in your favour

I hope the students In Sligo are more responsive to your efforts than the ones in Mary I were to mine.

But like what are you meant to do - go around with a big grin pasted across your face?! I actually have no idea what my face is like on a night out (!) but I would hope that I don't look sour, although I have got comments in the past "cheer up, it may never happen" - that ****e! Although now I'm beginning to think there may be some truth to that!!! It may never happen :-(

That "cheer up" ****e really bugs me :mad:

If a girl smiled in my direction then I would prob try and build up the courage to go over to her. Sadly hasn't happened yet lol

Argh, another lovey dovey couple in front of me on the bus! I have to get driving.

I work in a hospital as a healthcare assistant so im surrounded by ladies. But when im at work i just tend to concentrate on that really. Hospitals tend not to be a place to hit on women.

I'm in the same boat. But, I'd tend to wonder whether she's just being friendly, or if there is interest there. Do I approach, strike up conversation and, if we hit it off, we can date and take things from there? Or, do I approach feeling that there is mutual interest there only to be turned down and make myself look like a gobs**te? Sure, I do smile at people in general, as I am a friendly chap, but if I do smile at a girl I'm interested in when I'm out or whatever, I don't tend to get the same in return!

Yep, that's it I'm kinda happy in my own little bubble for the most part but I feel I'm missing out sometimes. I'll end up the crazy old woman with a heap of dogs lol

Im kind of comfortable with the single life too which is scary in a way cos ur always made feel its natural to want a partner in life, but tbh its not a priority for me.

I was thinking of looking for hobbies that are predominantly women to try and meet some. Was thinking Pilates

Go for it..Pilates is good for the body and spirit in any case! Go for a smaller class will be better for a beginner and more likely to get to know people.

Well I had a lot planned this weekend hobby wise, but I had a few cancellations so it never happened. I put off a potential date with a girl I was chatting to on POF to make things worse, as I had this thing planned for a while. I'm in two minds about her though. She looks nice in 2 of her photos but looks very unattractive in the other 2.

No not necessarily, but it does make my decision more difficult.

I just deleted my POF account yesterday. It was rough. So many beautiful girls with some not too far away from me and got barely any replies.
I'd like to think i'm a good looking guy and I thought I gave a good description of myself etc but it was so depressing.

So many girls saying they want 'someone that will make them laugh' or 'to treat them right' etc and then they don't even message back.

Sorry.....Rant over

Kind of agree 'somewhat' with this post.... A lot of those ladies are delusional and are waiting for an actual Prince to msg them, when in reality they wouldn't know what to do with one!? I feel they should stop analyzing and start acclimatizing... I've had better interaction in the outside real world than I would have on a dating site! So now I just send a smiley, and if they're interested then they will reply.... Doesn't mean I want to marry them, some might say oh so cool stuff like I'm not looking for a pen pal' and then when you tell them I'm jumping into my car right now'.. They sh1t themselves lol well you know what I mean, it can be quite hilarious:-))..

i have being on POF on and off a few yrs, and i have noticed the same women still there, and im sure the same guys, makes u wonder is there anyone dating on it at all?

I disagree Sam Quentin. Why couldn't she offer to come up to mg1982 if she was soo interested in meeting him. Or at least offer to meet halfway from the very beginning.


I know that feeling mg1982. I got talking to a girl on pof before who had "Dublin" in her profile for where she was living. We got on fantastically well. It turned out that she didn't live up here, her job entailed her being in Dublin at least one week a month (some times not all at once). She actually lived in Tralee. I decided that it was a lie but not a deal breaker as I probably would have still been interested in talking to her anyway had she said she lived in Tralee from the outset.

Anyway. She asked me to come down to Tralee one day, for a day date. She was going to a party that night, to which I wasn't invited to. When I expressed my trepidation at a 3 odd hour drive each way for an hour or two date she accused me of being a tease and leading her on. I saw that she was a bit of a loo laa and just told her not to contact me anymore.

Sorry read your first line, and that was it, as much of a 'kinda' equality guy that I am.. I would definitely suggest that I travel the 'whole' way to meet her first<< and that wouldn't even be me being a gent, it just wouldn't cross my mind for her to make her way here or even meet half way!? Now if I was selling her something from DoneDeal! Well I might suggest half way meeting...
