Pondering
So my friend Daniel and I were talking over the weekend and came to the conclusion that if we don't make some for
ward progress in our dating lives soon...we'll end up having to marry each other and let's face it...that's just not in anyone's best interest. While personality wise we get along great...neither of us are attracted to the other physically so it would be a sexless marriage and we know I just couldn't have that. :o)So, that leaves us with trying to meet other people.
But there's just one little problem with that.
Where?
Let me give you all the facts and then we can start brainstorming...
1. I have only ONE single girlfriend in which to go out to social places with but she lives in another state so I'm out of luck there.
2. My local girlfriends are all married and have little babies so they never want to go anywhere. :o
(3. Most of my friends (espcially the ones I hang out with the most) are guys...going out with them presents a problem if you're wanting to meet someone because they are mistaken for a 'boyfriend' and guys are too afraid to approach me.
4. Any courses I'd enjoy and have thought about signing up for are notorious for having mostly female students.
So there you have it.
Now....HELP ME!
P.S. Yrautca...since you saw fit to tag and harrass me...I will comply but you cannot laugh at my fridge. I collect magnets from different countries and states...My refrigerator is like me, bright and colorful.

Thanks Lindsey. You look fab in your pic and your fridge looks fab too. I'd still wanna hang out with you more than your fridge.
I am in a similar situation. I dont have dingle guy friends to hang out with and my girl friends tell me that they dont have any single friends since they have been married for years now.
Just a crazy idea, but maybe all the single bloggers should start dating.
woo, hoo , I am first to post
i have many 'dingle' guy friends but no Single guy friends.
Like I always say. Love will find you when you stop looking.
pretty lady...
:)
i am in the same boat as u... i've decided to buy a russian bride.
u can buy a russian groom.
SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN!
Oh.. and when u go visit ur in-laws, you can get a magnet from russia and stick it up on ur fridge.
Home Depot.
Or online.
I'd go with Home Depot. Preferably on a Sunday.
Rawr.
Thats a really good picture of you...Look at you. You're so pretty. AWWW. LOL!
As for your fridge...I was expecting top to bottom filled with magnets. Youve got some collection there though.
Ottawa. 'Nuff said.
come to england, marry me have my babies and it'll all be sweet
you know you want to
so does everyone else :P
Yrautca: Thanks..I think I'm funnier than my fridge.
Phil: It's not about necessarily searching for it, it's about getting out there so it has the opportunity to find you. It won't hit you while you're sitting on your couch.
FU: I have a Russian magnet :o) Plus I wouldn't want a Russian last name b/c no one would be able to pronounce it.
Sandra Dee: My friend made the same suggestion...I just have to pick a good day when the rednecks aren't there. :o)
PP..I have just as many magnets on the side of the fridge...I just had to move them out of the baby's reach.
Blackcrag: It's too cold in Ottawa. :o)
Px: Why is it that we women have to come to the UK? What's wrong with you coming to the states? Cost of living is cheaper and we have better television. :o) Hmmmmm. Lindsey Cox...hmmm maybe.
:o)
Ughhh i am in the same boat. I do have single friends and we do go out so i'm ok there, however, there are no decent guys out there.
I've met most of my friends friends, i work with all women and i've met a blogger. This leaves me with nothing.....i am also on a coed volleyball team so maybe just maybe i will meet someone that way. It's so depressing ... clearly i've done something wrong.
Bookstores.
Scope a guy actually reading something besides nascar magazines and ask him out.
You may be required to do the asking, shocking I know.
I'll warm you up.
You look adorably surprised in that photo. Is there something happening in the part we can't see that we shoould know about?
Your pic is great!!! :-)
I'm in the exact same boat for finding guys. I just resorted to asking my guy friend I have a crush on but who has a girlfriend to help me find a guy! He even he (he says) doesn't know any single ones! :-(
I am hoping that the "stop looking for it and it will find you" crap is true. I met my last two long term boyfriends that way BUT I was way younger then and didn't have society's stupid outdated marriage clock ticking in my ear.
If one of us figures it all out she MUST tell the other. Ok?
:-) :-)
LOL @ blackcrag...could you BE more obvious? LOL!!!!
WHERE ARE MY SUGGESTIONS PEOPLE???
I'm counting on your wisdom to help me. :o(
So far I've gotten Home Depot, book store and an offer of marriage. Anyone else?
Yeah, I'm kinda worried that I missed the boat on the whole marriage thing.
Like back in the day when I would rant about how awful it must be to be married...yeah, kinda wish I could take that back now.
:)
I completely hear you.
That's THE question I keep asking myself...WHERE??????
*ahem* that should read: "So far I've gotten Home Depot, book store, an offer of marriage and an intriguing, exciting and extremely viable invitiation for a springtime visit with an intelligent, engaging and handsome man in a different (yet suprisingly conveinently nearby) country."
Where's the love, Lindsey?
Oh, and PP... if you think that comment is obvious (and I'm still deciding which comment of the previous three on this post you mean), how's this for you?
I'll agree with the others, that is a great picture of you.
And your refrigerator has flair.
Fate loves the fearless.
James Russell Lowell (I don't think he was talking about me because I have never met the man.)
I wish I had some sound advice (I am dateless at the moment so WTF do I know), but I'll give you what I got.
* First, don't stress about it. Then, you need to flip your geographical desirability model on its head.
* Don't rely on your friends.
* In theory, Home Depot sounds good. But you need to separate the wheat for the chaff (and there is lots of chaff - married, gay, too old, too young). And you might get blown off by the wheat because they are actually at Home Depot to buy something for a project that they need to get back to.
* The Atlanta Ski Club used to be a great vehicle. Largest ski club in the world and most of the members don't ski. They may cater to a slightly more mature crowd.
* Yahoo personals or Match.com or eHarmony (again a lot of chaff and very little wheat. I hear it is worse for females.)
* Try some speed dating things
* Let me take you to dinner so I can prove to you that I am as old and as creepy as I seem to be. This will validate your judgment.
* When you go out with your friends, be a little fearless. Approach a cute guy. Just meet him (meeting new people is the hardest part of the whole process)
* Crash weddings
ok i'll come over there then
Buy an Iron Horse, drive to Sturgis, SD.
More guys than you could shake your black bra at.
-Wombat
ur so hot linny
ull find someone!
Blackcrag - LOL!!! Its obvious. HAHAHA.
My fridge looks like that too!! LOL. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Somehow it makes me feel better.
In Mass you can at least marry your best friend whether a girl or a guy. LOL.
Oh gosh, and this is probably why I am still single too, but I'm a great believer in fate when it comes to meeting guys, i.e. no point in going looking. That said, if you ask around, your girlfriends etc, where did these people meet the partners, if it's anything like the people I hear off, it's almost always one of two scenarios, through work or through mutual friends, so - get on to everyone and say the opposite of what you would normally say. ;-)
So, what you are saying, PP, is girls find honesty funny.
wasn't that a scene fro seinfeld.
Blackcrag - No. I dont think honesty is funny, infact, its something I value...its just cute funny. Thats all. Chill.
Have you tried a flat tire?
No, seriously. Go to a nice neighborhood and have a flat tire, or some other simple car trouble that will make you look in need of rescueing. (Not implying that you're helpless, BTW, but looking helpless will attract men like flies.) When a likely looking candidate comes by, bat those big eyes at him and use your womanly wiles. When a dork comes along and thinks he's going to "help", whip out your cell and make like you're talking to your boyfriend.
Guys love to feel like the big hero and, if you get married, it makes a great story for how you met.
This might sound silly, but have you tried online dating services? I know several people who have met boyfriends/spouses that way...just a thought.
Same situation here... either my friends are married or have kids or are guys so now what? Im in NJ very close to NYC so if you ever want to hang out drop me a line...lol!
PS... I do have a very cute un attached brother at the moment. lol ~M
Love, love, love the magnets. Love them!!
Get a job bartending. I'm serious--I've accumulated more business cards in the last month and a half than I know what to do with. And that's not counting the women who wanted to stay in touch with me!
I have the problem of hanging out with guys and people thinking he/they are my boyfriend. It's a tough situation.
