Are you single?

Yup, like some others have said - I'm single, wouldn't mind meeting my soul mate, but don't think it's going to happen. I'm not into clubbing or anything, which makes it difficult to meet people. And I've been single for a while, and by now I'm used to doing things my own way.
 
Funnily enough, I wanted to start a thread like this last week. Been single since forever. Problem is I don't go out much, so I generally don't meet women. Don't like clubbing either. Love the freedom, but the loneliness does tend to kick in...then you start over-analysing things and start making assumptions. Days can be tough.

Nights are even tougher :(
 
Well I don't even know where to meet single women anymore. It seems everyone is always hooked up. Then what's the sense I go out?

Yup... where should I go to meet decent guys? Or maybe I should ask, where do decent guys go to meet women, so that I can be met :p

I'm 25 now and have been single for my whole life. :rolleyes:
Maybe I'll meet the right person who knows?

I must say I don't miss anything I just feel lonely sometimes. And this loneliness makes you wonder then...

Pretty much the same here. Been single pretty much my whole life aswell

Did meet the one person who i though was definitely the one. and typical me had to pick someone from overseas :o
Being the very shy type and involved with computers 24-7 aswell doesnt help much.

Im ok with it, just well you get those times when you just get lonely...
 
Either way only way is to go out and meet people. Its very sad that there are lonely people considering there a millions of people on this planet.
 
There are so many single woman / guys out there - you guys must just look - wait, you must just try harder.

Since many of you are perm on the internet, why not try the following sites:

www.gumtree.co.za (try the DBN / JHB one for your areas, www.gumtree.co.za is the CPT one)

www.faceparty.com (lots of single south african guys and gurls on there)

I got dumped on Friday and I'm already looking again, don't see why I should waste away when I have so much to offer someone who wants me (unlike my ex!)

And then thing that always gets to me is that there are people who are constantly jumping from one relationship to another, yet I'd be happy just to be in one.

With all due respect, this online dating thing works out nicely for 1 in every 100 people. It's almost a total waste of time IMO.

Wow I gotta say you moving on quickly, it took me about 2 months before I would even look at another chick. In total prolly took me about 9 months to get over my ex. (Ok granted she was my first love)

Well, suffice to say, the relationship ending was NOT my fault, it was hers.
I'm capable of moving on and I want too. (if it was my fault, i'd be sulking, begging for another chance, etc etc etc)

As for internet dating, it's not a waste of time, I've met alot of people via both those sites, granted, there are alot of strange ppl online (as we all know *glares at BOODLES*) but when u filter our those people, I think outta the 100 ppl i've met, 90 were decent.

Try it... post a nice ad, and see what replies come in.

It's like the lotto, you won't win unless you play it, same thing applies here.

I posted the 2 links because they've worked great for me in the past.

When I go out clubbing, I met alot of girls, using online dating, I get to be a bit more specific as too what I want etc.

While online dating seems a more comfortable alternative in this century, I prefer to meet people the old fashioned way.
 
meeting a girl is easy, takes 10 minutes at a club. meeting the *right* girl on the other hand can take a lifetime.
ive had countless hookups at clubs, or through friends or anywhere, but have only felt something real twice.

going out and whoring yourself (like i used to do) doesnt solve anything. it actually made me feel dirty, and im a guy.
