it's been years since i've had a real honest relationship... i seem to be meeting the wrong people. mainly cause i work at a bar and that's where i spend most of my time and meet most of the guys i've dated. plus i live in los angeles and the dating scene out here (especially for people like me in their mid 30's) isn't the easiest or the greatest. any ideas on where to meet quality people??

Hi, Welcome to Mylot. Are you not getting new faces? Oh well this is the high time to change the Bar
Jokes apart, I have seen a few movies and seems like people do use dating apps a lot there. I am not sure how true these movie scenes are. Let me talk about my culture, here in the late 20s and early 30s one will start searching for their soulmate, match their profile, get their family involved and if all things matched up then they will get married.

I have a case tomorrow...should I give "Rahul Gandhi hug and wink"..to the judge to get positive verdict?
Kidding... seriously...relationships happen when they have to. There is nothing we can do to make them happen. I think there are some hormones that the body secrets, and the attraction factor starts from there. How else do you explain love between beauty and the beast? From there starts the hard work, is this person trustworthy, is this person reliable, etc., etc. The hormones disappear ...we are on our own.

@vandana7 I agree with you if the relationship is started for the sake of Hormones than it will be really difficult for those two to hold their relationship for long.
So when you are getting married miss

I 'know what you mean' (I sorta feel the same way).
Before I go any further, I want to make it clear that I'm talking to you as more of a 'brother' than a 'possible spouse' (although ... Isn't that kinda 'what you're looking for' in a man? ) ... no, I'm in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and that and a bunch of other reasons put me 'out of the running'---no income (certainly not one anywhere above the average ... and further & further BELOW average as wages increase---meaning you'd be the 'earner in the family' if you moved to OKC and handled all the legal stuff required to adopt me from the ... etc., etc.)
Anyway, I saw this 'rather plain comedienne' (Katie Hannigan) on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night, and started thinking "That's the kinda girl I want to marry." Not one of the ones like another comedienne (Iliza Schlesinger) talks about, who're "out at the club" trying to attract men like animals-in-heat 'presenting themselves' in the jungle.
Funny how they never talk about going out & 'looking for a man to grow old with,' though that's what you really want. No, the popular thing girls (and I mean 'girls' ... you could call them 'women' or 'young women,' but they're "girls" until they're married (as the root of the word 'woman' is 'Wife of Man')) say they want is ... just "a man"---they don't exactly "say" what they want 'a man' for, so we men "let our imaginations 'run wild' (though they don't get too far past the bedroom)" there.
I feel like I've already been 'young'--37's not 'over 50'-old, but it's not 'all you can eat & drink & have a good time all night'-young either. I guess what 'girls' mean when they say they want to "grow old together" with a man is more like they want to 'find a young, wild steed and sap the strength of his youth (allowing him to sap theirs too)'---i.e. they mean 'they want a man to sacrifice himself to them (as they sacrifice themselves to him).'
Maybe that sounds like I'm against marriage; but we're all 'losing ourselves' anyway; would you rather 'lose yourself' to a real person's keeping? or 'lose yourself' to some possibly-imaginary deity?

@Jlyn10 HEY! Are you complaining about the way I use myLot, Jlyn?
Or are you jealous that I am no longer on the market?

You can meet quality people on myLot, but dating any of them can be really tough!

To be honest I can´t think of anything to say that would be really good for you to meet someone.
All I can do is to send you all best wishes that you might get to meet someone really special.
Here´s to that.

You will meet someone but make sure you know them well, it will probably happen when you least expect it.

No clue re: finding good people for dating purpose. Good luck. (I have a friend who tried to find her soul mate by faithfully going to pubs and bars every Friday and Saturday nights. No luck there. In the end, she met her future husband in a work conference (she is a scientist). )

I can't really recommend any site but an honest relationship is just around the corner. Don't feel bad it might be best that you have more space for yourself. Give time it will surely come.

Oh we are so much the same, i think i had my last relationship about 2 years ago and though i am not craving to be in a relationship... i just thought it must be really great to be in one again and feel loved and cared for. I work 8 hour job and live close to the workplace so i rarely have the chance to meet people let alone my age bracket so it is kinda hard too. I hope you find the right person for you soon. =)

Maybe you are right about you working at the bar is the main reason why you meet the wrong people around. I strongly suggest that if you could find a different job could the start or if that is out of the question, then maybe try doing your networking to other places other than the place you work. One thing could be the church you are involved in, or an organization or clubs for single people could find a much better chance of meeting the right guy for you.

It varies from person to person but for me what's best is to always go out and socialize with the right people. . and to never ever be afraid to say No. Don't be deceived by the looks yet look towards the heart of a person. A kind person is worth to be dated.
