    Hi everyone, gonna go unreg for this one,

    I broke up with my long term girlfriend about 3 months ago and think its time to try and get into another relationship but im finding it very hard as the landscape has changed a lot since i was last single. Im 28 now but was with my girlfriend since college and about 7 years in total. My problem now is i dont have the same social outlets i had back then when i was single. I dont even have my usual friends as i have moved cities with my job. I dont want to be going out to pubs and trying to pull random women as its not my style but i dont know too many women that i am interested in so it seems like the only outlet. im really starting to miss being in a relationship which is fairly sad but i am just feeling like i will never find a woman like my previous girlfriend.

    Anyway just lookin for a bit of advice.Is the pub scene my best option or should i go internet dating. im not too sure whether i would be too comfortable with it but willing to try it out of curiosity if i think it might help.

    Its still very early to be attempting to find a new relationship. You cant really decide to find a relationship either, its not like shopping. Test the waters, meet new people and see how it goes. Being single can be lonely sometimes but its well worth it to just be by yourself for a while and learn to be self sufficient in making your own fun.

    I agree with the above poster, this is not to say you cant date and meet new people, just be casual and things have not changed that much and if they have its for the better.

    instead of looking at pubs for dates etc, you can use this time to reaquaint yourself with new social elements, cafes, art gallery openings, shops and many more now are there to meet new people, alcohol does not need to be a factor in chatting up and getting dates with the opposite sex in these times.

    Good Luck
