I have been doing net dating for a while now and I have not met anyone who rocks my boat - I have thought about speed dating, and will do it eventually. I am not really keen on meeting people out as there is always alcohol involved and it is too loud (!) my friends are all coupled up and I am just sick of being single (28 years old and nice to look at etc).. what am I doing wrong?

You have to get out and about as well as using the net....I use the net, have met a few people but your right you got to get the person who floats your boat...
I also go to leroc modern jive dancing, and have met friends there too. Basically just don't rely on the net only.
I'm in somerset, but the jive classes are everywhere and they are great fun, even if you don't find the right person there.
I can assure you though, if your as nice looking as you think you are then you'll certainly meet lots of new fellas.
You can go on your own and every class starts with a beginners session anyway, so you don't have to be any good to start.
Get one of your friends to go with you, you'll enjoy it!
As I said I use internet dating too and got a wink from somebody last night, so I replied (i'd just come back from jive class) I mentioned it was a hobby and waddya know she goes to the same dancing in a different area only 10 miles away.
You don't have to go dancing but get out wether it's a cycling club or scuba diving. Have fun and good luck
Ps 10 points would be nice if you suggest me as best answer...

I know how you feel! Can be a drag sometimes, but may be you are looking in the wrong places? It is hard these days to meet people, between work and the Nights out where most people guys and girls are looking for 1 nights, where and how do you meet new potential partners! Just chill be happy with you and try to get out a bit, join gym or do somthing different that you enjoy doing and you will meet people, also from a guys point of view dont always expect them to make first move.... we somtimes get scared to approach women!!!!

Best hook-up has always been firends of friends at parties given by friends. You no party , you no meet anybody.
Try an alcoholics anonymous meeting, there's always people there looking for someone to go out with that doesn't frequent places where alcohol is involved.
You don't drink, you don't party, you don't like loud music, you spend all your time looking for love on the internet and asking moronic strangers (yes, that's me) for advice. What are you doing wrong ? Can't imagine...

i think you've been looking for Mr Right but the thing is he dont exist. Trust me, I thought all men were out 4 themselves. Until I met my boyf when I was 17. I couldnt belive my luck and I honestly loved him to bits he was so much more caring then most guys. I've been with him 7 years and after year 4 he become nastier and nastier. there all the same!! Just have fun, afterall everythings made to b broken.

nice chappies are most likely to be found in their natural habitat, which can usually be defined as 'bars, clubs or pubs'... in said establishments they partake in the collective activity known as 'drinking'... this comprises of consuming alcoholic beverages and talking animatedly to acquaintances all the while keeping an watchful eye out for a 'chapess'... in the event of finding an unattached 'chapess' the usual response is for them to descend into an entirely different social activity... this information can be supplied if requested...
these 'bars, clubs or pubs' can be located along your main highroad, in a neighbouring town, or even in your street! additionally, the grandest and smartest of them reside in a place called 'london' :-) good luck in your search...

you just arent looking in the right places..think on it..what sort of characteristics are you looking for in a partner?...trust, respect.understanding, mutual attraction sexually,you can talk all night because you have great communication etc etc???..so why are you looking online?...look closer to home ...if not local church group then what about local darts club or pool club or whatever takes your fancy?...at the very least you get to hang out with guys or girls who share your similar interests and thats always a good basis for a friendship:)

stop worrying about it - these things come along when you least expect them!!
Do any of your mates boyfriends have nice friends that you could be introduced to? Often theres the perfect guy alot closer than you think! have a chat with your mates about the possibility of their boyfriends bringing single mates along somewhere - you could find mr right there!

net dating and speed dating are not the ways to find your soul mate. try a dating service. They will do their best to match you up with someone who has the same interests as you.

the nice ones are a rare breed
try sports orientated areas or go on hiking trips or organised holidays like those organised by CROI in Ireland.
maybe if you join a team or become a member of some society.
