As of today I am officially sick and tired of being single and I am on the lookout for a relationship. It got me wondering how all of you met your significant other and I wondered if you had any tips for meeting new people, flirting and so on.

I'm free and single if you ar interested! (Sorry, i couldn't resist. it was a joke)

I met my former girlfriend over the internet, in a chatroom called UKChat. We met a few times over the yers and eventually got together.

We split a few weeks ago though.

I'm single right now, but my last partner (Chris) was someone I considered to be waaaaay out of my league, who asked me out of the blue.

My longest relationship lasted about a year and a half, and we were friends long before that. :)

Lol!! As if I'd date a Man U fan. (Sorry, i couldn't resist. it was a joke)

Seriously though I'm sorry to hear about you and your girlfriend. Is she the girl you've mentioned before?

TrekkieBez, there a friend of mine who I was quite fond of but he didn't reciprocate and he lives miles awqay now anyway. I think having a relationship that starts with a friendship probably has a really good base.

Cat. They fell out, went camping in Wales to make up, and fell out again!

Without going into too much detail, my last was the most . . . uh, "involved", if you know what I mean. ;) And that started very spontaneously. No previous friendship at all!

I got to know my future wife for three years before we married. We became the best of friends first, and then fell in love. :)

I think DCS was asking for recommendations of good places to find suitable males.

I could change. I am very fond of Leeds!

Yes, she is. And i think Bez summed it up pretty well. After we made up during our camping trip, it didn't feel quite the same.


About where and how to find people: Try clubs, pubs, on the internet or just out and about! Sorted!

DCS - It is best to join groups that share interests of yours.

I met my husband through his brother. I met his brother in a bowling league. Joining in sports or joining any other type of group, ie a book club, is a great way just to meet new people that share similar interests. Friendships can grow and romance can be found. :yes:

Ditto.

And don't rush things either!

The internet? Isn't that where you discovered Bini, the lesbian you have a crush on . . . ? Oops, sorry, I said I wouldn't mention that! :D

I met her at through square dancing (we were both about twenty - in the late 70s) - she went to one of the local square dance clubs that I was a regular and long term member of (and one of the more experienced dancers (an "angel" - helping hand for beginners)) at - I didn't even notice her all that much initially as my eyes were on the Cox twins and the Fairhall girls who I fancied and were in my social group.

The caller for that club (a lady I'd known for about 10 yrs at that stage, whos daughter was a mate of mine - "just one of boys" - yep - a real tomboy -loved fishing, footy, and getting dirty working on her old banger) kept on putting us together - rigging the roundups and squareups, and she wound out being my partner (frequently) eventually we started talking and dating, and the rest is history.

Try taking up dancing (swing, barn, square, jive , or anything like that ) - not night club stuff (that's a waste of time) - somewhere that the music is not so loud, and where there's an excuse to be social without pressure or booze present (and away from your regular set) - not necessary to front up (in most styles of dancing - beginners' classes) with a partner - at the very worst you'll have some fun and get fit, and who knows - you might meet someone special.

I was lucky. My wife and I met while working for a company who raised money for environmental and social organizations during a conference. We actually first started talking when she asked for hand rolled Drum cigarette. (I quit smoking a couple years ago, so I wouldn't recommend anyone take it up to meet someone). However, since we worked somewhere where politically and socially we have similar interests, that certainly helped find some common ground spiritually as well. (Helping less fortunate people, etc.) Might I suggest some kind of club or organization with similar political/social/spiritual intests to your own DCS? Maybe volunteering for some cause you like you could meet a kindred spirit.

Aaah, but as they say, "opposites attract". Me and my last partner were incredibly un-alike. Sharing the exact same interests and being too much alike could be boring!
