You think it's the drink that makes us fools?

Hmmm.

You're in for a shock.

Try tesco?

Do a course in somthing that you are interested in. Wright away there will be a common ground with somthing you share.

No, I got one there once, turned out he was faulty and I tried to return him, but they refused, said I had to return to the manufacturer.
I was within my rights as due to the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 he was:

Not as described
Not of merchantible quality
Not fit for the purpose intended.

I sent him to his mum, but she said the warranty had expired.

All in all, a bad experience.

Should really move this to BGRH since they send their 'Where do I find da wimminz' threads over here, but since the poster asked where did we find ours, its a question for the ladies I suppose.

i found mine on boards, you can have him if you wish

How Strange

I'd say through extra curricular interests such as evening classes, sports clubs etc or through friends or at parties. In fact anywhere except bars and clubs as people tend to be too drunk so the first impression is bad.

I really couldnt imagine picking a fella up in tesco!! especially any of the ones working there, my two local tescos are full of old men!!!

Id like to meet a man who isnt drunk when i meet him first:D

Why are nerds out? and why can a nerd not be a man?

Intelligent,bright, sensitive men with lots of spendable income.

I can't think of a better catch. :cool:

BeatNikDub

They are out there!
My sisters married 2 great men and plenty of my friends have great blokes ....think I just need to work a bit harder at it!

I met my fantastic fella in a nite club (cue the shock from some people) and we're still together so I think people need to get over the 'can't meet somebody in a nite club/bar siutation' and start thinking about the kind of people they are attracting and who they are attracted too.

It's not that _can't_ of course you _can_ it's just not an ideal situation.

Two morons bladdering about nonsense drunk, it's never a great way to get the ball rolling.

princess-lala

Well I need a decent one!!! Ive had the sh**test 12 months ever and need a good man!!!

I had one and let him go:(

At this rate id even start paying for one!!!:D:D

GrumPy

Agree on the whole nightclub/bar thing. I met my ex through work. My first love, lasted just over a year. Friends first helps.

Were you not worried that he might be ugly when you first met?

He's still ugly now that they've met.

kmick

Well if all the men you meet in pubs and nightclubs are drunk why not pull them earlier. The last time I was out this girl from denmark pulled my friend at 9pm and said lets go back to mine and make out. I never saw a man move as fast.

If you want a man you better go and get him. Do you think good men fall in your lap?

Well thats why I was wondering. Anyone could come across as funny, witty and charming on here (and they may well be) but thats no good if an ape or a moose turn up when you actually meet. There has to be some physical attraction. All that looks don't matter is tripe.

Ah no it worked out well for them.

They were both a bit on the moose side.

Jimmy Apollo

Princess la la why don't you just ask one of the posters here if they'd like to meet for a drink? Chances are they'll be reasonably sober. God knows what they'll look like but if they lie about there looks before you meet and they are a boot then you can just start a thread lambasting them. That'd be fun for all!

You'd think that wouldn't you?

OP, are any of your friends taken or are you all single? I met my bf through friends and it seems to be quite common. IMO, clubs is not the best place to meet anyone except for a one night stand.

Check out this thread:

This is where all the lay-dees met their other halves.

Silverfish

Lads, take the flirting to pm, and try keep threads on topic.


This is a warning.

She Devil

Try online .. i know alot of people who have met their other halves online#, and if that doesnt work you will get lots of friends from it anyway, from different backgrounds, no harm in it and the whole stigma attached to internet dating is almost gone! Just a thought!

Apologies, wasn't trying to derail the thread

On topic, I have met some really great people from boards meet ups, might be no harm to check them out in any forums that are of interest to you

well, i meet him at a beers so i knew what he looked like - what a strange question

Then you'd want to be early on friday at the beers:D

but I meet my GF in college *mubble* years ago. and Although I haven't looked for anything over the years I have never really come across any girls that I would like to date while out with my mates and going to the same places, however I have come across girls that I think would be date able when I am put into more awkward positions where I have to talk to new groups of people so if you are just doing the same thing over and over try things like growing your circle of friends as that will help you get in contact with more potential partners

Cant go:( early start saturday morning:( why oh why do women have to get their hair done before they get married is beyond me:D

you could go and not drink, you said you'd like to meet a man that's sober, will maybe the same could be said for the man

Sorry irishbird my question wasn't meant to be strange, I was just under the impression that you and you future boyfriend got talking on here and then decided to meet hence my earlier question regarding whether you were worried about his looks before you met.

justsomebloke

or you could just go home early. You never know you may meet Mr Right if you go (i.e. one of other LL'ers may know him cause chances are it isn't one of the brothers:D). But as I said it would be an occasion where you could put yourself out there and meet a new group of people with whom who could meet up again and give you all sorts of possibilities that would be different to what you usually do. That or you could just go after the best man on saturday

It's the inside that counts.

I wholeheartedly agree but its outside we're initially attracted too!

exactly.
you cant be with someone you're not attracted to.
but you also need to get on with them, so it's a mixture.
but the initial reason any couple starts is generally physical attraction.

ha i hadnt thought of that

Clare Bear

Seriously give online dating a go. I met an ex that way, didn't work out but was a good experience anyway, lots of nice guys in the land of internet dating, I don't see why some people are so ashamed of it.

I met my fella in a bar. Was just a few after work drinks and was early so neither of us were drunk. Don't knock the pubs/clubs, not everyone is off their face in that environment.

Jules

As i have said a million times before, different people are attracted to different types of people. If you go around looking to meet someone you never will, stop looking enjoy life and someone will find you.

Think this thread has served its purpose!
