I am single, no longer working (plus the job I had there wasn't guys to date there), I don't have many friends, I haven't found the internet to be very useful for dating. I have been on many personal dating sites. I don't know how to really "pick-up" a guy at the bar or any store, I am not into bars anyway because I don't drink. I don't go to clubs.... Where do I go to meet a guy????????????

I have a good reason I don't have a job. But the details of the reason are well.... personal. I like to knit, quilt,, bowl (was on a bowling league but can't afford it), play cribbage( play in a league but not too many young people in that league), listen to music, sing, paint, do craft stuff.... I have done some volunteer stuff for Habitat for Humanity and when it gets nicer again plan on getting back outside and pounding a few nails with a hammer... and help build a home for someone.

Well, here's your problem... You've told us just about everything you're not into, but you haven't told us what you are into.
The truth is, the more things you say you don't want to do(drink, go to clubs, look online, etc) the harder its going to be. Find something you like, look to see if there is a club focused on that in your area. Either you'll make more friends(who could potentially introduce you) or you may just meet your next potential boyfriend.

im gonna give you the benifit of a doubt and assume that you dont look like an ogre so the only thing to do is get out there. you dont nessesarily have to go to bars or clubs to find a guy. just flirt with people you run into on the street and someone will bite. oh and unless you have a really good reason for not being employed... get a job... we arent in the 50's anymore. women can hold a job just as well as a man can now so go get paid and be independent

Go to the local hardware store and act clueless when a cute guy walks by ask him a few questions if he is interested he will strike up a conversation. The internet is such a dangerous place to meet people and bars are not the place to meet a guy. They are there one nite with you and with another woman the next week scratch that the next day. Church would be a good place too. Don't seem so desperate to find someone when the time is right you will meet someone. Guys that sense that you are desperate tend to take advantage of you.

Where not to, I'd ask. I'm married yet frequently 'hit' on. The last was a woman wearing muddy brown coveralls as she
worked at a roadside garden and started asking me some
questions while a traffic delay held my truck motionless. She
had a lovely smile and I said as much. The very next thing I
recieved was her business card and "...call me...", as road delay ended. I won't, of course, but the same calm cheerful
approach comes from fellow grocery customers, ladies at the library, sea kayaking, on mountain trails, and all these are
either women of a certain age or nearing that stage of life as I'm an old bird myself. Suggest reader address any person
of interest, at all possible locations short of shouting or use
of International Morse Code, much like a duck hunter who aims at a flock overhead. Scatter enough shot and you'll get
what is aimed at.

I know what you mean. My personal opinion is that internet dating sites are rubbish, and there is nothing sleazier than just picking up some-one in a bar. Join an organization, a sports club maybe. Perhaps you like chess, join a chess club!
Do a specialised activity to find the sorts of men you like. If fitness is something important to you, join a surf life saving club, that way you can learn something useful as well as meet new people and make new friends. it will be easier than pie.

Perhaps volunteer at your local library and you may meet someone that way or take a class at a community college. It is hard to give good ideas because it depends upon your age. The fact that you don't have many friends makes me wonder if your self esteem may need a boost and I will give you a link for that. Then just make friends and one of them will be the man you are looking for. Good Luck!!
