    In fairness it is true that most guys who approach you on a Saturday night are hoping to get their leg over.
    I think they get drunk and glance around and head for the first girl they see. I never find it particularly flattering as I think it's fair to say that if I'd been standing a few feet to the left they would have approached somebody else.
    However a club is a great way to get introduced to someone. Go out with a group of friends and get them to bring people along that you don't know.
    Not in a set up way but in a meeting new people, both male and female, way. Before you know it you will have a load of new friends and who knows maybe you might even meet someone you fancy!

    Sorry now, but I think the majority of people who go out clubbing/pubbing and meet members of the opposite sex are only looking to get their leg over. I don't think anyone's ever found love in a club/bar.


    I did and we're still going strong well over a year now. I didn't go out with the intention of finding somebody. When I go to clubs its just to have a dance and laugh with my friends but I got chatting to this guy and here we are. Love him to bits.

    Actually I break two pre-conceptions as I met him in a club and we are able to make a long-distance relationship work so sometimes it can work.

    To the original OP I'd say there really is no answer to your question, I never thought I would meet a guy and for it to be great etc. Not every guy who is 30 is necessarily looking for just sex so you just have to be open to meeting new people and maybe going out with somebody who you normally wouldn't approach, as in a one-on-one situation they could turn out to be the guy you are looking for!!

    Hold on, I'm extremely sociable/outgoing and always up for a laugh, pubs just aren't my scene - I suppose I can put it down to the fact that I don't understand the drinking culture that the UK and Ireland have. Yeah, I can go out for a laugh and a social drink as much as the next guy, I just don't meet anyone in the way you all seem to, I can make small talk with anyone, I don't put myself out as a sexual predator, I just don't know why it is that pubs/clubsvdon't do it for me. I've said it before on here, I think some people are lucky when it comes to meeting girls (or guys if your a girl) and for whatever reason, people like myself (if there are indeed others in the same boat as me), just have no luck when it comes to meeting anyone. Sod's law/Murphy's law - whatever you call it.

    :) of course there are others in the same boat - but you won't find them in a pub ;)

    Is there something you like? Try to find other people who share your interests.
    I never found love in a club/bar/pub... but I met my bfs - always unplanned ;)

    Listen, to the OP you will find someone, it just takes a matter of time, ive come and gone out of relationships and at times do feel lonely, but i turn to my friends to cheer me up.

    You can be in a relationship for the sake of a relationship, but some relationships offer more hastle than good, so i say to you to take life easy, do go out and enjoy yourself, and while you are you never know, that someone special will come over and talk to you.

    Hey it happened to me once.
