Well, it sounds like everyone is single because they don't want to talk to strangers. I guess everyone listened to their moms.

It's difficult meeting a guy with no kids!
 I have a few other preferences also but the kid issue is always a deal breaker. I have a great social and professional circle but I don't date anyone within my circles. I think it's unwise to mix dating with those elements. I meet friends of friends but .... they are all breeders! I prefer younger guys anyway but even young guys have kids.  Dating is not at the top of my objectives. If I meet someone then YAY; otherwise, I'll wait rather than hunt. I met a fun, uber hot guy during MNF. We hit it off really well. He was 32, tall, tattoos, seemed very intelligent, witty, had me laughing .... My friends were next to me, listening to our conversation, and he said he had 3 kids (THREE kids).  My best friend whispered to his girlfriend, "That is the kiss of death." Ugh!

It's impossible. |

What do you think the biggest problem is when it comes to meeting someone out there in the real world? Unfortunately, with being a poor single mother and a graduate student (a heck of a combination) I often find that I don't have the time or the money to go out as much as I would like. Do you think the trouble is something you're doing or not doing? Yes and No. Any I doing something wrong... not really. If I were to get out more often would that help my chance of meeting someone that I would be interested in... probably. Do you think there's something wrong with the opposite sex? What kinda question is that!

In trailer parks? I'm talking about on line! 99.999999% of the women on dating sites in my area have kids. The rest want them "desperately" (spelling corrected for purposes of clarity). |

In trailer parks? NO! I am anti NASCAR! BTW, kidding aside, there are nice people in trailer parks.  School, gym, my volunteer org, sporting events ... typical places. |

I never have any trouble talking to or even flirting with gals if I'm out doing random stuff, shopping, ect. But if I am at a bar or somewhere where I would have to walk up to a lady and initiate contact, totally different story! I've had plenty of times where I was accused of flirting with the waitress ect, but I suppose in that situation, there is no emotonal risk involved. Perhaps thats the key. We/I feel socially confortable as long as the risk is low to none, but ramp up the risk factor (emotional risk) and suddenly the game has changed. Not sure of the answer to this though. Suggestions?

What kinda question is that! Believe it or not there are a lot of people that feel the opposite sex is screwed up in some way. A good example is men who think women are only attracted to jerks. The truth is these men aren't jerks at all, but some men think they are because they take all they women and make them look foolish. |

You don't care about the results you get with the waitress. What if you stopped caring about results with women in bars? You know, just talk to them WITHOUT AN AGENDA. Just say hello and interact for a few minutes. If she's feeling it you can tell. If not say "It's been a pleasure" and move on. |

For a while, I just wasn't going out much. Since I move to maryland and started going out more often, I've started meeting new people all over the place. Now, I just need to try to be less picky.
What I don't get are those who complain about not meeting anyone, yet don't put themselves in situations where they can meet new people. |
