    hi everyone,
    Just an issue that i have and would like to discuss with everone on here and looking for some feedback. Basically im male and moved to dublin a year ago to start work and enjoy the job but dont have any social life up here what so ever.Everyone in work lives in the suburbs and never socialise after work. Also everyone in work is no where near my age (25), they are all in their late thirties with families. I am very sociable and good looking (i think) but cant seem to meet any new people up here as i dont have anyone to go out with and dont fancy headin going out on my own. I have friends back home but they dont socialise at all at this stage so i dont bother with them really socially anymore. I know this thread has appeared here a thousand times but if anyone has advice then it would be great. I just feel like life is passing me by even though i am a very sociable and outgoing friendly person.

    I would not be comfortable or even interested in heading out on my own so please dont suggest that. I have joined clubs but never got really involved in them as they all seem to have their own friednships already and i dont want to come across as someone who needs friends. Also i am single at the minute and would love to meet a girl to go out with up here but i rarely get the chance to meet new people as i have no one to go out usually. When i am out i have no problems meeting new people as i would talk to anyone but its the getting out and socialisng that is the problem. Any advice welcome.

    Agreed. Boards is great for meeting people. Lots of clubs and general beer outings. I even met my boyfriend at a boards beers. I know it might seem strange at first but it really is a great way to socialise.

    I know you said you have tried clubs and joining things, not sure how sporty you are, can I suggest joining bootcampireland.com i joined it recently and its great fun, whats even better is most people who I have been talking to so far joined on their own to so people make more of an effort to talk to others. I'm 25 as well and I joined it for the EXACT same reasons as your post!:-)
