I was just wondering people opionions on where the best places are to meet other single people? I'm female, 29 and been single for a year but never seem to meet anyone decent..and by that I mean someone who doesn't just want a quick fumble under the sheets!:rolleyes:
Any suggestions/experiences?
Thanks.

I had a ball when single, and am only just now settling into the fact I have a girlfriend (been a few months..!).
I used to meet lots of lovely people when out and about - clubbing with people of the same mentality, or through friends of friends.
I'm 29 now, and loooooved being single from 21-28. Perhaps you need to choose where you go clubbing, but even going to some higher class bars could yield results.
I'm 29 also, was single from age 24-27 which was great but I was working abroad. I don't really mind being single but would like to meet someone in the near future. Most of my mates are now settled down with children so they don't really go clubbing and i'd feel a bit of a plum on my own! Haha
This is one reason I love London. There is never any shortage of different circles of friends to entertain me
yeah I think you're right!
Try going to a few new bars and finding a couple of places you like. Go there a few times so you're comfortable with your surroundings, and I think you'll find things better.
yeah sounds like a plan. tthanks :yippe:
Pubs and bars are your best bet. No need for clubs unless the pubs and bars don't have any good talent for you.
Also, don't be afraid to approach guys you like. We do like that. It is the 21st Century after all

There's an article on theSite on this topic find it here:-

I would say always be open to conversation whenever you see someone you like. Don't be afraid to start a conversation. By doing so you will be maximising the chance of meeting someone you like.
Good luck!
For others this is not so readily available and have to actually go out attempting to meet people. For this a "young professionals" kind of singles event or "speed dating" with young professionals in mind can be a better idea than a pub or club.
Some preparation for such an event may be a good idea for many people. Learning some social techniques, partly to ensure you don't put off your potential other in the first few seconds because unfortunately even at these events, the first impression can make such a difference.
This preparation can involve 3 things:
1. Appearance. i.e. what to wear, how to groom yourself, etc.
2. Body language such as eye-contact, etc.
3. What to say and what not to say.
Hopefully we could give some advice here but for those rather wealthy young professionals that have been known to visit this board before (although a couple of them got banned) they might consider paying for this kind of advice.
Of course a nice personality is also a plus. Having either a huge superiority complex or an inferiority complex are both likely to drive anyone anyway.
Not a bad idea actually if you like small indie bands.
