One of the biggest problems concerning dating is actually FINDING A DATE.I know it's scary to venture out into the dating world when all of your closest friends already seem to have settled down with someone or are permanently locked up in the friend box.
So How Do You Meet Someone You Might Actually Like To Date? No one seems to be able to figure this out.
Clearly all of the places that you normally hang out at are not the right place to check. You have either been through all of the eligible singles there with no luck or you have just become bored with that scene entirely.
BUT it is important to go out to places that you enjoy if you are hoping to meet a potential date. This can help to ensure that the two of you have mutual interests in something that you would not mind doing again.
Hence, do not go anywhere so against the grain for you that you could not imagine yourself enduring it ever again. For example, going on a rock climbing adventure when you are terrified of heights and then attempting to hit on your climbing instructor will not work out pleasantly. Please...don't do that to yourself.
Do not misunderstand; it is okay to try new things.
For instance, if you have a mild interest in comic books, try going to a comic book convention and meet other people who share your interest. The thing to remember is that places like that are not only attended by die-hard fans, there are people there who might just be mildly interested in it like you.
Or if you really enjoy music, go to a concert, watch a live amateur show or go to a music store.
The chances of you meeting someone that you find interesting is much higher if you actually put yourself out there in places that you find to be interesting.
Guys, go steam your favorite jeans. Ladies, go dig up your favorite push-up bra. Someone is waiting for you to arrive . . .

i think this blog is helping people become more desperate..as if theyre not already enough. if you go out looking for a date-with the intention of finding one, or finding someone..most likely you're only going to be let down or you'll come off too desperate..either way, go home alone. just because friends are dating doesnt mean you have to as well. if you're confident, carry yourself well..you'll be fine, chances are you'll find someone when you're not even looking. i think instead of telling people where to go to meet dates..why dont you blog on how you've met your dates? tell us about yourself and your personal experiences..hwo did you meet you're last date? where were you? were you even looking..or did you go to a comic convention with the sole purpose of finding someone to take home with you ...
"permanently locked up in the friend box" -- that has got to be the most clever expression I've ever read!
I love the way that you present your advice. I find it very refreshing and fun. Also - you always seem to find exactly the right words to bold. And your photo choice is always perfect.
I like the suggestion of the comic book convention. You explained the idea, in my opinion, flawlessly.
Sad but true!!! I like your style of writing.
A bit of advice...if you enjoy going to bars, that's a fine place to meet someone. However, do not go on a Monday night, because the people you meet on a night like that tend to be alcoholics. Of course you have to question why you're there on a Monday night, so maybe you'll be perfect for each other.
