I'm 33 and I have been single for almost 7 years - since separating from my ex-wife. And it's been over 3 years since my last date. I am somewhat shy about meeting new people to begin with and after so little activity in so many years I'm in even worse shape.
The main problem I have now is I live in a relatively small community with very little in the way of a night life. In fact, it seems there is very little in the way of a public social scene period. I've tried some of the on-line personals sites but there are only a small handful of listings - like less than 10 - in reasonably close proximity (less than 30-45 minutes).
I do know there are plenty of women in the community - even presumably single women - because I see them at work all the time. I just don't know where to find them away from work.
I could really use a female's perspective on how I can at least improve my chances of meeting someone.

One thing I should add is that I moved to this community for work about 18 months ago and I don't really know anyone outside of work (and I mainly work with teenagers). This is a community where most locals have grown up together since a very young age so it can be difficult to get in with the groups.

Does your community have sporting activities like softball or volleyball that you could be involved in? I met my husband at a baseball tournament. Do you have a dog? A cute dog will make a woman stop every time. Do your friends know of anyone that's available. The set up isn't such a bad thing. Depending on what kind of woman you want to meet the library can be an interesting resource...excuse the pun. Good luck to you and I hope this helps.

I would place a very respectable, direct ad in the local paper's classified section. No joke! Explain that you are looking for someone to sit on the couch with and eat popcorn, take to the show and laugh until your stomachs ache, someone who wants to be treated like a lady by a gentleman. You could even include that the good nite kiss on the cheek is optional. See where I'm going with this? There are probably several other singles in your small community that are going through the exact same thing as you are. Put yourself out there. Do something harmless yet fun! Place that ad. You can let me know later how many responses you get. Hopefully, we can't count that high! Press on!

Ask one of those single women out to dinner, and maybe cook for her ( if you can) Be brave, you can do it. Think of something other than the same dinner and movie thing it is so cliche. Find something where you can get to know each other. For example a zoo, floral gardens, anywhere where you can talk. Good luck to you.

First of all, you need to have confidence because that is what women like. Second, you must have good looks or at least dress to impress and lastly, A great personality. Go out with friends or co-workers and have them help you out with hooking you up with blind dates.

Check around. There is no shortage of single women, believe me. Grocery stores, shopping, any place really. Women are always looking for guys too, you know. Watch their body language and facial expressions. You'll be surprised what you can learn that way. That's what I look for with guys anyway.:)

Take some classes. You might meet some nice women who enjoy similar interests.

nicely, i do not blame you, i ought to probable be slightly aggravated if I continuously heard how appealing anybody else is. truly even if it truly is someone genuine to him, like a student in his type... and that i'm fantastically confident with myself. this stuff ust do not want to be stated so commonly. i imagine in case you refer to him about it you'll come off as insecure and jealous, so the suitable aspect to do is to play alongside and commence telling him what male celebs (even human beings you recognize in genuine existence) are warm. If he's happy with this, than it truly is in simple terms who he's as someone, and in case you want to be with him you should settle for that or flow on. If he's not happy with it, than you are able to elevate your emotions about what he says.... good success!
