Where do people find their bf/gf/friends?

Post Reply New Topic

You can get one from the BF/GF store.

I get mine by hanging around in bars drinking cola and playing pool and darts. When a drunk woman hits on me, I hang out with her. If I like her, I take her to her home and leave her. The next day I come back and get a real date with her. Works for me...

Anywhere people go. If they are there, you can meet them. This is my experience. The problem for me though is a combination of initiation and coming across as likable.

I've tried my luck with women. If just meeting purely on the internet through experience (through experience I mean meeting me through interaction and not something like a dating site where they're seeking me), then it goes "okay". I can pass for normal a lot easier. I can't really be myself though.

In person, I've managed to get contact info, but none of them are interested in me. Of the contact info I've acquired, I only have one who is willing to talk to me now, and she only talks to me when she has a problem and wants advice. So, maybe twice a year!


Meeting people is only as hard as it is for you to initiate something. Making a bond and becoming something more is the true challenge though. Thankfully, while a relationship is something I'd like (it is only natural for most people afterall!), I don't feel a need to rush for one.

Mine randomly added me on Myspace too

Yup Valoyossa, "Myspace," no need to leave your computer

I'm surprised the only people who try adding me on MySpace are spammers advertising porn sites I feel like I'm the only actual person on it instead of a spammer or a celebrity. Can you give me some of your good luck

i get plenty of those porn spammers too

though if you want real girls to add you, maybe try putting up some of your better pictures, work on your profile a bit.

My GF didn't ask me out, i asked her. But only after a month of chatting on there in a friendly manner, with some borderline flirtyness for about a month.

Though when i asked her why she'd added me she said it's because she thought i was cute from my pics, but more importantly, thought from my profile content that i seemed like an interesting person. So my first impression got her to add me, then i followed up on some flirty friendship, and ended by asking her out.

so far we've been together about 7 months

WP.

I've often wondered this myself. I've never been able to find a G/F at uni or work. And I'm not interested in going to bars or clubs. So what do you do?

That's awesome I bet if I added a pic I would probably repulse women but attract homosexuals ComedyCentral's message boards wer a great place for me to make friends but they got shut down years ago. The community was great till all the spammers, trolls & pervs overwhelmed it. I lost the friends I've made sense then thou Been kind of lost online sense but this place is helping

I met my last boyfriend online. Apparently he had asked a mutual friend of his and mine if he knew of anyone who wouldn't lie, cheat, use him or hurt him in any other way, and the mutual friend thought of me. It's nice to be thought well of.

I saw a TV ad about a thing call www.eharmony.com I don't know much about, but can that help?

Met my current boyfriend through another friend... I think every relationship I've had has started that way, apart from my first boyfriend, who I met on this forensic science thing my school sent me on (awwwww!).

Its not easy, but I think it is important to have a good social circle of people who are good at introducing you to other people. (As you get older it can feel like you only know couples, and you have to branch out again). This could start with the internet if you like, especially if its a forum where everyone has a shared interest that would naturally lead them to the same events.

This dating site was advertised on a music forum I go on - you give them your last.fm username and it finds you people with similar taste in music to you. I have no idea if anyone in the states uses it, sorry. http://tastebuds.fm/

I never thought similar music taste meant much. My best friends are into music I do not like at all. People with similar music interest as me tend to have drug/alcohol problems, be total pervs or there in jr-high I should look into last.fm thou & I'll check that dating site out after. Mite be worth a shot but I wouldn't expect much

The problem is that if you (the male) go and randomly add girls, then the girls usually think you're creepy. But if the girl goes and randomly adds you, then it's all good. XD

Same here. My girlfriend originally added me because I was near by, she thought i was cute in my pics, and my status was something about computers, which she thought was cute.

Then we texted non-stop for a week, called each other a couple times and then I met her in person and we started dating that day.

I kind of agree. Good way of starting a conversation with someone though, surely? Also, it tends to be a specific type of person that has a last.fm account - its a very, very nerdy thing to do, to use a program that compiles stats about the music you listen to. So it'd be people like that on there, which I'd personally be pretty interested in if I was single.

Well my previous girlfriend liked country and I hated it, so we always argued over what to play in the car...lol
