    You're obviously just not talking to the right people, because everyone has some kind of people that they do/would enjoy talking to. Just find people that probably enjoy the same things, hobbies, interests etc etc that you do.
    I don't think it's lame to do that, no. Just don't act like you're dying of shame while you're out on your own, even if you feel you are! Many good things start with pretending, this is one of them. Good luck ;)

    There's nothing wrong with going somewhere on your own. Maybe dancing or something like that, apparently thats the new place to meet singles :eek: . And if anyone said something like "ahhh fair play to her.. out on her own" they're a dickhead. You should say something like "Yeah I haven't needed to hold my mammy's hand for the past 20 years now, when are you planning to stop?"

    OP, if you are out somewhere and someone happens to ask you are you out on your own you can always say you're waiting for a girlfriend to show up or that you just received a text that the person you were meeting there can't now make it. Perfect ice-breaker and will make many people offer to absorb you into their group/circle for the evening. Tis easily done really!

    Overseas. Got on boards to stay in touch with what's happening. But in the process I have occasionally met someone I liked and would like to know better when I return. Just a thought...
