since covid ....... how is everyone meeting local women. or if you're women men now. have you found that trying to chat with new women now it's a little more difficult? I'm trying to find the best opportunity for myself to meet up with someone. so any advice would be very helpful

what are you talking about. that is my pic.

sorry I miss read the post. my bad

I do that often

Back on topic though….I met a previous partner whilst walking in the park. We got talking then we went for a coffee. He, in turn, met his previous partner in a grocery store.

I’ve since moved to a very small town so not much chance of meeting a partner where I now live.

I think online dating would be a good way to meet. but the biggest problem is there's too many fake people out there just looking for a handout. for me that's been 99% of all ladies I talk to. one in 50 are real. I've tried a lot of other sites that just waste my time.

I don't think online is the best way to meet local people, especially if you live in a small town. What are the chances that someone from your little town is looking at the same site that you are on? It's best to go out and live your life. That's how you meet people.

What does the pandemic have to do with it being difficult now?
I don't see the relevance.

If you want to meet someone online from your area you have to be on a good site with people from your country and/or area.
I'm on a pretty good dating site since a few months now, a Dutch one. I doubt anyone's fake there and if so it'll be a mere few.
I got asked on a date within a week, but we cancelled the day before -mutually, although I mentioned it first- cos of the distance.

And don't put all your eggs in one basket, also do plenty of things in the flesh that allows you to meet people.

This. It applies for people who live in large cities as well.

good information

Yes, ever since I stopped wearing my mask the chatting with the ladies has gone down hill.

Going out more so you are meeting more people, joining a club involved with your interests, sport, hobby, etc. meeting people with similar interests as your own. Good luck in your search.

here are somethings helpful:
only contact locals,
1 or 2 days chat max,
if not agreeable to meet up in real life then you should stop, because of catfishings and scams.
let's realize that no one can feel the vibes over texting. you must still like the girl when you are face to face.

Not in the least.
But, I wasn't really trying to find a date.

Since I prefer live in smaller towns,
I find it best, to just go places where people are.

Might be a wee different if you live in a major
city though.

I'm finding difficult to find local ladies to date , too many fake profiles on here

The best way to meet local people is not online.

Ok welcome

Hello am hoping to meet someone

I'm really hoping to meet someone full of laughter like me
