All by myself

I would imagine it could be a nightmare Lilac,as a pretty trusting sort of person here I think I could well be taken in and also taken for a ride.But the first thing would be to find out which direction that you are going to go in to try to find a few mates or try to get a date,or just mayb meet someone to have a drink with.Where do you go?do you go to a bar?as there is no way that I could ever walk into a bar on my own,so do you join a club?well thats a farily good idea,maybe a singles club would work,but then that would be a bit nerve wracking if you had to step in on your own.So maybe a club that is just a meeting place such as a Camera club or something like that,or go to a night class and see if there are any interesting people there.But the thing is not to put yourself in the way of any harm and that has to be the golden rule I would think.
