Everyone within my work/social circle are either married or getting married. Even those who set me up on blind dates, I found them not really compatible ie. we can't carry out a decent conversation for a start or there is no chemistry to suggest that a 2nd date would be good. It is just strange as it appears that the increase in the demand for matchmaking/dating agencies is on the rise. Where have all the single guys gone to?

It sounds like you have some standards, and some idea of what you're looking for. That's a start.
To begin with, you never know when a chance encounter could lead to marriage. You accidentally drop something, a man stops to help you out, and that's the one. The trouble is, he might get away, because you didn't think fast enough.
You can get around that problem, by planning this stuff out in advance. What pretext might you give him for calling you, as you're slipping him your phone number? We're always planning for disasters, but in order to take full advantage of opportunities, we need to plan for them as well.
You can use the Internet, not only to meet people, but also to follow up with those you have met in person. You set up a web page, containing information that you would like for any prospective suitor to know about you. Don't tell them everything, just a few selling points. It's like a resume. That could come in handy, in cases where you don't feel comfortable giving a man your phone number.
Although chance encounters can work out nicely, it also doesn't hurt to load the dice a little bit. If you want to date a Christian, go to church. If you want a man who is well read, frequent the book stores and the libraries. If you value civic mindedness, do some volunteer work.
Many books have been written on the subject of meeting someone. You don't need to do everything an author recommends. You might be only one idea short of success.

I am with u in this.. And I think single great guys are playing the pee on each flower role. So no mor interested in a serious commitment. And The few ones that I found ready to commit did not find that I am good match simply because I am an independent female with the character. This makes them itch you know... And actually I do not know why I think that if there are guys who seek an online match making, they must have a serious default. For as farv as I know, men would rather touch than read.

Forget the match making dating services. They are only money making businesses taking advantage of a person's loneliness. Assuming you are an adult, the best way to meet Mr. Right may be at the supermarket, on a bus, a plane, in church or in a mall. From experience, the two of you will know you want each other. How do you know this? Did you ever hear of the aura effect? This means that if both of you are attracted to each other by this invisible magnetism, the look in both people's eyes will be aglow and the two you will begin to talk to each other.

Don't rush it. When it's your time it will happen. Just enjoy dating, don't think about getting married and you'll be more relaxed to find the right person. If you look at every guy you go out with as a potential mate then they are going to feel that you're putting pressure on them and men don't like that. Good luck in your search for happiness.

I think you can get blinded when you think about it the wrong way around. 'How to meet a guy with a view to marriage' That would send any guy running for the nearest exit. Instead just focus on meeting a guy casually and don't wait around for a guy either. Get out, enjoy your life without a man in it and you'll suddenly find when you're not looking, they will appear

You need to open up to more avenues of friendship and at the same time be more careful. Even through the internet, you have a great range of friends, that include the world wide. Thus, friendship cannot be focus just one place and also just for marriage. Friendship, we must see it a very, very long type of relationship whereby you can pick the most correct to be your life long partner (wife/husband), agree ?

you have to be that girl that they see themselves with forever. Concentrate on what you want out of life and your passions. They will light up just being around someone so eager and happy!

I'm in the t-shirt business. Would you like me to make you one with the word 'desperate' written in big letters on it?
