It seems like as you get older it becomes more difficult to find interesting, quality men to flirt with. Most of the guys who hit on me are super young or they are just not interesting to me at all. I don't want to go anywhere like a bar or dance club, so where else can I go? I flirt with all the decent men in my neighborhood already or I've started anyway.
I was thinking about this today. I turned 30 this year and I haven't dated since I was 25. My boyfriend and I are rock steady, but for some reason I started thinking if I find myself single again where am I going to pick up guys? When I go to bars they're filled with guys in their 20s. Where do 30somethings hang? Coffee shops? Bookstores? Their kid's daycare?
you must live in the city. since i've been living in small towns, when i go to bars they're filled with guys 50 and up. and occasionally an old woman who likes to stumble around and flash her wrinkled boobs at people.
Oh yeah?! What about meet up group sites? There are tons of groups, and you can make up your own groups as well. I'm thinking of joining a hiking meet up group in my area this year. I wonder if someone can start up something like that on HF?
[SIZE=medium]I don’t know if this is any help but when I’m playing pickup basketball with a group of guys at the playground and some hot girl comes along and wants to play; every guy on the sidelines waiting to play the next game will invariably start hitting on her.[/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]So my advice to you is find a pair of short-shorts and a tank top and head over to the nearest playground [/SIZE] [SIZE=medium] [/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]Hotwater [/SIZE]
Best place is whenever you see one you are arracted to. Strike up a conversation and see where it goes.
It's probably easier for men, because I know I tend to look for younger women (early to mid 20s), and it seems fairly easy to meet girls at bars/clubs, even though I rarely go out. But it seems that when I do go out, at least one or two women approach me and start talking. Coffee shops do not seem to be an ideal place for meeting people as there isn't the social lubrication you have with an establishment that serves alcohol. Of course there are also dating websites. I have met a number of girls this way, but things seem to have leveled off as of recent. If you live in a bigger city, you have more options.
I'm telling you - Go to sporting events, race tracks, music events, auto parts stores...You're going to find the men doing man things.
Haha. Amazing answers! Yes, sports-related stuff is a good idea. I was thinking of joining a martial arts studio, I used to take tae kwon do, was thinking of joining a gym but I really think it'd be a waste of money. Open mic nights and live music would be good but I can't stand the rowdy, drunk crowd, I'd have to find one with a good atmosphere. I went to one of those "girls with boobs out restaurants recently". It was funny to watch the guys. And yeah, I live in a small town, but it's about to get really crowded for a week. I should also go out of town every now and then. That should help.
I'm almost a decade younger than you, and having the same problem (in reverse).... only without the current relationship. Probably mostly because I'm already hanging out at my kid's daycare, and have never been to a bar at all.
