How to meet women.

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
If you've read my earlier post then you'll see that I have a few problems and I'm a bit of a mess.

I think the best way to get over it would be to meet someone else and then I wouldn't feel like my worlds ending.

Problem is, it's too hard for me to go to pubs and clubs because I don't drink, live in the country, and don't have a job right now.

I've fallen out with most of my friends because of this other problem so I can't go out with them.

So any ideas of how I can meet new women?

    Don't just get together with a girl in order to 'get over' something - baaaaaaaad idea :rolleyes:

    But sorry, in reply to your actual question - get a job or go to college/uni (sorry don't know how old you are, is that appropriate?), because this'll improve your social life and help you get to know new people, both as friends and girl/friends. Also, can't you just go to pubs and clubs and not drink? Personally, I go out to socialise and not just to drink - an evening can still be fun without alcohol :)

    Erm, I can't think of any more ideas because I'm tired :( so sorry, but yeah... job, go out more... join a club? :confused:

    I could go to pubs and clubs and not drink but I have no one to go with. That's the main problem.

    I left College last year and me and all my friends parted company and I haven't seen them since.

    Then really, get a job. You'll meet new people, make new friends and it'll open up doorways to a new social scene :)

    I think you need to get a job aswell. Even if you don't meet people there to go out with, just getting you out of the house and seeing people makes you feel so much better - I was unemployed a few months back and got so depressed cos I was sat in on my own all day every day. You might even meet people at work who are your own age and who you can go down the pub with.

    Does it really matter that much? It's not really that much different from going with friends, honestly. I agree it's not as much fun, but if there's no-one around it's still worth doing. Try going to a darts night or a pub quiz or something, you might meet people by doing that. Clubbing can be a good way to meet people as well.

    going out on your own

    I've found that going out on my own greatly increases my chances of pulling, or at least meeting new friends, because it forces me to talk to new people rather than just being shy and staying near my friends. The only bad part is, cos my friends aren't there, they never beleive me when I tell them who I managed to pull :rolleyes: lol :)

    It does actually make it all a bit easier, because you don't have to sort out things with your mates and stuff, that is true. However, yes, there is the issue that they don't believe you. Still, I don't believe their stories about having about 90 shots in one night. :D

    Why's it odd? If your mates aren't around it's still fun to go out so why not?

    If you want to meet some new people take up a hobby or a team sport. Like footy, or soccer or netball or basketball - something along those lines. You meet new people and have lots of fun, then you'll have people to go out with and be stupid with - a very important thing!

    ok, cool, i have got involved in groups and stuff actually, such as CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale). I was going to go to one of their meetings, but couldn't actually find them, so I gave up and went clubbing instead. I do have mates from college and stuff, and we do do stuff, I just don't have to be with them all the time, if you see what I mean? What I mean is, if I want to go clubbing, I'll invite my mates, but if no-one can make it I'll still go because it's still fun.
