[QUOTE="Fran, post: 294454, member: 3"] It seems to me that not having the mind set of finding someone helps. You go out to find your own interests and you will meet people. If you like books, then a regular visit to the bookstore. Volunteer somewhere if it is in your comfort zone. YMCA to walk on the treadmill or exercise. If that doesn't work, go to the local bike/walking trail where there is a lot of activity and just take a walk. I think if you do your activities on a scheduled day you will run into the same people and eventually feel like you can have a conversation. The idea of forced socialization is so crazy on so many levels. I have no idea why as young adults we did that instead of finding interests. Hanging out in a bar thinking we would meet Mr. Right? Um, I don't think so. I also, think internet matching sites is a good way to go. At least you know that they are interested in meeting people. Not that you will end up with Mr. Right but it's a toe into the dating world. Being curious about people seems to be a good ice breaker. Everyone perks up when someone asks questions about them. Ask questions, be interested. I think that's what I would do if I were single. Working on meeting with people of similar interests and developing a friendship. Maybe sparks fly eventually but at least it's a more honest interaction than the "show" when out at bars. [/QUOTE]
