Where to meet girls??

top_dog · 03-11-2014 1:31am #1

Hi ive been single over 2 years now. Been struggling to meet girls. I could go out on town and drink a few pints. I'd normally have no major problems meeting a girl and when I get on well with them exchange numbers and what not. Nothing would ever really move forward afterwards though. A couple of texts would be the height of it.
I'd have no interest in going to pubs/clubs anymore. Most friends have moved on and are married or gone abroad.
I've tried online and at the start I thought it would be easier to meet girls that way but really I actually think it seems to be much harder to meet someone here.
I just feel I've exasperated all avenues and just feel like giving up.
Meeting someone at work is not really an option. And my hobbies are taken up playing mens team sports so I wouldn't be going to gym or anything like that.
Does anyone else feel like this?I really can't think of anywhere else I can meet someone. Anybody have any ideas?

AH answer - In before someone says Coppers....

Serious answer - Evening courses?

why not? are you being too laid back? if so, its up to you to make her want to meet with you again.

Didn't you hear?

The girls have all flown south for the winter.

A Greedy Algorithm · 03-11-2014 2:35am

Facebook. Add loads of girls and the start chatting to them on the chat thingy.

Don't be nice though, be kinda mysterious and you'll be knee deep in girl's before you know it.

suicide_circus · 03-11-2014 2:41am

They seems to congregate in female toilets, try there

EoghanIRL · 03-11-2014 2:44am

4chan

Frosty McSnowballs · 03-11-2014 2:57am

Seems like you have tried most routes. Hang in there OP, best of luck with whatever you end up doing.

scudzilla · 03-11-2014 2:59am

Funerals, emotions are all over the place and you can normally score some 2 or 3 points above your grade

LovelySpuds · 03-11-2014 3:48am

Computer science lectures. B!tches love computer science.

True dat

From my extensive experience of watching soaps like Eastenders and Fair City I know that if the OP put his arm around a girl to comfort her she will immediately go to bed with him

Non - AH answer: All the wimmins these days go to tango dancing. It's very popular! And they would prefer to practice with you OP then their friend

I am reliably told that there are hot single girls in your area now just waiting for your call.

Bingo halls for the more mature ladies!

PizzamanIRL · 03-11-2014 8:51am

My daughter is in the same boat. Do you want a go of her?

punisher5112 · 03-11-2014 8:55am

Op you say most friends have wifes/ girlfriends that sounds like a good place to start find one you like and rob them off your friend like Simon Cowell did oh get her pregnant also then you have a keeper.

Strongframe · 03-11-2014 9:33am

OP if you want to get good at online game with the likes of tinder I'd purchase "Execute the program". It comprehensively details how to set up your profile and how to interact with women on such platforms including what to do when meeting in real life.

Have a look at this clip below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

FTA69 · 03-11-2014 10:02am

One pice of advice OP, ignore the sh*t above about "executing the program" or whatever else b*llocks it's called. These aggressive pickup type things are simply another thing designed to fleece you for money, a bit like the 7 minute ab devices you see on late night TV. Except they also encourage you to become a massive bell-end.

Half the species is female - it does not sound like meeting women is your problem. You are getting their number? I can honestly say that has never happened to me on a night out in such a way. I usually have to meet people numerous times before they really share contact details with me. So something about you is already doing ok.

So your problem is really more related to following up - not meeting them. What is it you feel you have to offer girls exactly - and how do you feel you are failing to get this information across entirely?

Dan_Solo · 03-11-2014 10:40am

If it hasn't been said already, if you want to meet good girls try a church or library. :-)

the_monkey · 03-11-2014 11:11am

Sports clubs, tennis, badmington, wrestling whatever you like - you'll allready find a girl with common interests.

Mt. Pleasent tennis club is supposed to be good social club.

03-11-2014 11:16am

Go with prostitutes, you will have a better piece of mind, be able to continue to enjoy playing sports and have far more money in the bank!

Tennis, yea some of those are hot as fúck.
You don't want to be messing around with some hairy ass steroid addict wrestling "lady" whose dick is bigger than yours though, Well I don't, but if you do, then juice up and wrestle them right out of those oversized knickers tiger.

FTA69 · 03-11-2014 12:23pm

Most of the PUA stuff I've seen talks about women as if they are machines who simply need to be "programmed" in a certain way by using a certain set of words or actions in order to get the desired result. Instead of just having a conversation or a good time with a given woman, they're rolling out a barrage of 'tricks' with the sole intention of eventually 'pushing her switch' so she agrees to f*ck them in the end.

It's weird. And a tad creepy as well. Personally I'd find it a small bit odd that men are consulting books and videos in order to develop a "game" before they go out for a drink with someone.

Day Lewin · 03-11-2014 12:38pm

A lot of men meet a girl they like when it is a sister or friend of someone they already know.

Have you any cousins, neighbours, siblings, colleagues that you could socialize with, and maybe interact with some of their social circle, thus meeting some girls that they know?
Or get in a club or hobby that has group outings: eg, film society where they arrange a group visit to the movies - a great way to get chatting with someone who shares your interests.
also, consider orienteering, walking, hiking groups.
Or Irish classes at Conradh na Gaeilge.

What about a DANCE course? Girls do those...or YOGA, very popular with the female sex. AERIAL yoga, better still!
Book Clubs seem to be very fashionable and a lot of girls are in them. Yes, you would have to read the books, but...ask at the local library or ask around among friends do they know of a book club.

and don't forget the numerous possibilities with online social groups. Nuff said.

Best o' good luck and enjoy the quest!

Leave it until March. If you find someone now you may have to cough up for Christmas and Valentines day presents. Smart men fcuk between March and October..

If you're going to join a yoga club for a perv I'd suggest a bit of hot yoga!

Those things are fantastically crap, aren't they. I know people who buy them, do it for a few weeks and put it into the attic for every more, as they are not getting results. Abs are made in the kitchen, as I always tell them. These products fail to mention to importance of diet when trying to develop your abs.

Mister Vain · 03-11-2014 6:56pm

I'd have to ask, do you do stuff you don't like just to try and meet women? I know a guy who tried salsa dancing for example, to try and meet women. He said he absolutely hated it but kept at it on the possibility that he might meet someone. I think its best to do things you actually enjoy, but if that doesn't work, where do you go from there?

So i'm told.

Tinder or any other online service only works if you've Ryan Gosling/George Clooney looks.
Even you've a nice personality, looks will be the first thing everyone see (especially Tinder).

or maybe that only happens to me *lay down and cry*

Good luck for your your quest

and keep us in the loop

Sinister Kid · 03-11-2014 7:23pm

Girls are everywhere... you just need to approach them. See one you like the look of, go say hello, strike up a conversation... Eventually you are bound to find one that likes you back

Electric Sheep · 03-11-2014 7:42pm

Ballroom dancing classes. Often full of bridesmaids-to-be, and an extra man is usually very popular indeed.

I was shopping at Tesco recently.
I pick up a 1L of skim milk, 1 loaf of wheat bread, 6 eggs, a pack of Taytos, 1 frozen pizza and a small bottle of coke.
I head to the checkout line.

A really cute blonde girl sits at the till. "You must be single" she says.
Thinking she might be flirting I says, "Yes I am. How could you tell?".
"Because you're ugly".
