    just looking for some advice or opinions, i'm sure this question comes up all the time:

    single male here, 28 years old. been single for nearly 2 years now. anyway, i am drifting through life without actually meeting new people. go out with good friends from work a fair bit, all of who have partners. if i am not out with them i am out with friends, all who have partners too. in general, while i have plenty of friends to choose from so am not short of options if i wanna go out.....a very high percentage of these people have partners.

    so basically, to anyone looking in from the outside, it appears i am out constantly and enjoying the single life,when i fact....while i do really enjoy the peoples company i am out with, i am not really meeting new people.

    so my question is, where or how do i go about changing this? i'll be honest, i am no good at chatting up women in nightclubs, just cant do it. and while i have joined an internet dating site it is just not really my thing. i am very social person and love meeting new people, i also like being busy, just know i need to make some changes if i am ever gonna meet anyone. would love to hear peoples suggestions?

    you've probably heard it all before but you meet new people on a new scene.

    New scenes can be clubs (sports, hobbies etc) new job, volunteering, and events of all types (talks, concerts, fund raising). Try look for a meetup for something you're interested in rather than just for the social part. It'll last a lot longer.

    Try www.meetup.com. It's a site with links to different clubs in your area where you can meet new people.

    Best thing I ever did was join a club of a hobby I love.

    Instant conversation, mixed company and weekends away.

    40 new numbers in my phone, people to hang out with at weekends and through it, taking up other sports and walkers etc etc....
