Where Is A Good Place For A 30-Something Woman To Meet Single Men?

Have you considered something like e-harmony? A recently divorced friend of mine met a woman that way, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well. A single female friend of mine did the "nyspace thing" but I think she found that most of the guys she met that way were looking for booty calls (kinda like they said in that movie!). Good luck!

Hey singlemommy! I have no idea! I am way older than you and haven't been out in many years! And even when I was "out" on the dating scene I hated it! I hated going clubbing with a passion! I never felt that you could actually meet anyone that way! At least no one decent! I think that it is just as hard now as it was then! Unfortunately, I think that you have to patient and not try so hard! You just have to wait and just keep doing what you're doing and go to the parks and bowling and stuff like that with your kids and eventually you will meet someone. The only safe way to meet someone that is decent usually is through people that you know.

I know you are wanting to meet someone. Going to bars is not the way to go. I see these commercials on tv all of the time about people that work all of the time and have no time to go out to find someone. Or people that have no place to go to find someone. Also they are tired of the dating scenes and want to let someone else find someone for them. You can do this to. The place is Harmony.com I think. They say they find the right person for you. They weed out the ones that wouldn't be right for you. I believe the bio is free. It's worth a shot to check it out.

I think that you are doing good by taking your daughter bowling. Maybe, you could ask a female friend or two to go with you this weekend. When I was single, I actually had to be he one to break the ice with th guys I ended up dating. If you see someone interesting, flash a smile, or make it a point to say hello or ask a question. believe that love finds us when we least expect it to. It wasn;t until I stopped looking and became pretty comfortable with being alone that my husband walked into my life.

All I can say whatever you do is be safe, for you have your children to think about too. Believe it or not a long time ago I had a man to approach me at Chuckee Cheese. I told him so sorry I was happily married. If you don't say that in a sentence when men approach you the first thing they ask are you happy??? This totally ticks me off. I can not stand for man to ask me that, if I was not happy why would I go out with a bum that would date me married. I think that is sick. But this man was very nice to me & gave a compliment & said what a lucky husband you have in your life. I told him thanks & I am lucky to have my true love in my life too. Just be careful when dating for you & your children sake. Good luck, but again don't rush. I tell a lot of women that if I was single again I think I would wait til my child is grown for the evil step parent is really out there, believe me my daddy married an evil woman & thank God I was grown when he married her too.She cusses my daddy & my daddy never cusses her for he is good man. My daddy has his problems for no one is completely perfect but all in all he is a good man. He takes care of her, gives her anything she wants but still never happy, my poor daddy.

Let me warn you though don't use Myspace. Myspace has too many low rate men on that site. You get online & you think someone is just a friend & the next thing you they are messaging you & ask for something more. I have deleted people on my list for I was only wanting them online for just a friend. That is why I say a woman & man can not be just friends cause men are always thinking more. At least it has happen too many times to me. So I do not have a male friend anymore.

no ideas friend...this is not my category question...actually today is the day that i am not getting single discussion that i can respond, not the fault of you people friend....but i hardly know about the topic, so i started a discussion today, after many many days

Ya got me! I will be 31 in a few weeks. I don't get out very often either and when I do have time away from the kids I usually just hang with my sister. Not meeting any guys there, that is for sure.

I've thought about this since you started the discussion and I have to ask something I hope won't offend you but I just don't understand--why the great need to have a man? You have your friends, you have your children and your family, why the great longing for a man? Why not devote yourself to raising your children and avoid all the drama? Now, I'm 54 and done with them after a lot of love affairs and a failed marriage of 19 years so maybe I just don't understand. But honestly, when I see all the stories about single mothers whose boyfriends mistreat them or their children I wonder why women can't just be mothers and pick up their love lives when the children are gone or at least in high school? Like I said, I don't want to offend you and I'm not criticizing you, I just don't understand. I hope you'll take the question in the spirit it was asked.

Sorry, I have no clue. I think if it's meant to be it will happen and you shouldn't have to go looking for someone.

In an immediate "this Saturday" sort of situation, I have no idea. Looking more long term, you could take a class at your local community college. A ceramics class, photography class, creative writing class, something fun and relaxing that you're interested in. That way you know anyone you might meet in class would have at least that much in common with you. I don't recommend CraigsList as a place to look. There are some incredibly bizarre people on there.

I think your moving in the right direction. Getting out and doing things that interest you is a great way to meet new people. If you have any other interests I would say pursue them and see what happens. Maybe the gym would be a good place Most of them offer childcare with their memberships so you could exercise and have the chance to meet someone nice and healthy..lol..take care.

Concentrate on yourself, pamper yourself like a way of taking care and being concern for your health, beauty and overall wellness. Maybe join a chat with guys aged 30 above who also looks for a date. Join chat (romance chats), i hope you can get what you really want. happy mylotting!

I know I already posted earlier. But I feel compelled to tell you more. I firmly believe that you have lost your groove....but Stella we are gonna get it back. So scroll up and read my previous post about confidence. Okay....so now onto places to meet decent guys that aren't looking for a booty call. 1. Meetup.com Places to meet new people, single mommy groups in your area, so many groups to join....and even singles groups. 2. The local bookstore. My favorite is Barnes and Noble. Browse the store for books that interest you. 3. Starbucks Most Starbucks have free internet access. Do your work there and make conversation with the people around you. 4. Believe it or not the GYM might be a good place to meet men. I got hit on when I was dripping with sweat (even had the boob sweat marks under my baggy shirt), wore my worst pair of sweat pants with stains, and my face was all red from working my fat but on the elliptical. LOL And trust me I am a heavy girl...but I had the "fake" confidence going. REMEMBER meeting GOOD single guys isn't about specifically going out to meet guys. Your goal is to go out and meet new people and regain your groove. So don't be disappointed if you don't meet a guy when you go out....be glad that you met new people and by chance you might meet a good guy that isn't just looking for a booty call. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP....CONFIDENCE UP (all guys are attracted to a confident woman that look them in the eye).....Feel good about yourself....wear that power outfit that you have. Go out and buy something that makes you feel good when you wear it. Good luck to you and let me know how everything goes. If you want you can PM and I can be your confidence cheerleader in your corner.

my mother once gave me an awsome piece of advice. "Quit looking!!!" LOL She told me that the best way to find someone was to take myself off of the market, and just not look. I met my husband on line in a writing forum. With datying being the furthest thing from our minds, we became friends, and then "life just happened." We've now been married for two wonderful years. BTW, the night we met on line, I was slightly tipsy (OK DRUNK!!!!) at my father's place, during a family party. LOL LOL LOL I took a break from the festivities (he was playing some really awful music!), logged into my laptop, and found him on a writing site.

I think you should try everywhere. Love can be found anywhere and everywhere, most times we need to open our eyes to see it. I think you should try internet including yahoo chat, internet chats, internet dating services. I think you should try to go to different parties, birthday parties, wedding parties, friend's houses and tries to make new friendship with new people and you will be able to find the right person in one of this places.

here is a story you might like my friend played slingo online all the time an met a nice guy onit an to make a long story short they finly had a meet ing face to face an 10 years later they are still happily marreid I was into the theater doing plays an backstage work an met some nice guys there I even had a couple ask me out but I was already married so youknow how that gose but if you have a lttle theater in you city try helping out or trying out for something an you be surprise the people you meet

I don't know singlemommy. I meet most men at my workplace as I work in the public. Get a job in a convenience store and you'll meet tons of people. I don't go clubbing either. I have met men in the laundrymat, library etc. Thing is ....I wasn't looking to either. People just come up to me and start talking ....not just men. I'm surprised that you didn't meet someone in the bowling alley. I'm thinking you'll meet someone when you are least trying to.

Well that will depend on what kind of men it is you are interested in meeting. Openings at art galleries are a good place, museums and places that hold lectures, local book clubs are good. Have you ever visited the meetup web site? (Just add .com to the name.) You can type in your zip code and see a list of groups in your area of people who like to get together around the things that interest them.

My vote goes to the internet. I met my wife on an a singles dating site. My only advice is don't worry about trying to look spotless. Be honest and include things you like, dislike, and things you will not tolerate (very important).
