Where to meet a man in my demographic?

LegacyUser · 31-01-2009 7:45pm #1

I'm 32. I'm having trouble meeting men. Part of the problem is that I'm a foreigner and find the whole dating in this country to be a mystery. I can only drink about one pint or I'm on the floor. I'm not sure about the pub thing. I do have a few women friends but they all happen to be married. When we do social things it is usually shopping, have coffee or other things where one wouldn't likely meet men. I don't usually go out with them at night. I think I would feel strange going to a pub by myself. Do women here do this or would it look "bad?" So I guess my question is where would I go to meet men around my age? I would like someone who I could have an intellectual conversation with which is another reason the pub doesn't look like a good idea.

How about joining a walking club or a photography group or a sport club? The obvious one is to join a social network and start making online friends. Who knows, you might meet someone you would be interested in. Personally I haven't tried internet dating but I do know a few people who have met nice people.

It depends on where you are based as well as what you like to do etc.?

Wow it must be hard for foreigner on their own here in Ireland.

Going out to a club on your own mightn't be a good idea but you could;

ask your genuine friends if they know any single guys ;-)
join sports clubs/ hill walking clubs as someone above mentioned
join a reading club or poetry group or something like that
help out with charity groups
get a part time / weekend job in a more social setting

I am based in Dublin. My interests include the arts, restaurants, travel, literature etc. Rephrasing my question: where do well-educated men from around age 30-40 tend to "hang out" in Dublin when they are not in pubs? Single men, or course.

I would suggest Bojangles, Dakota, Ron blacks Samsara and Cafe en Seine. I dunno about going out alone, sometimes i can and sometimes i cant... You can go out with your friends as long as they are not with their partners/husbands.
