Putting Yourself Out There....?

[Bunny77]

People are too sensitive in this thread.

Do what you need to do to put yourself out there and call it a day!

Sounds like a plan to me!

Really? I guess I'm completely missing what you're seeing. I don't see a need for jealousy or where it would come from in this thread. The OP asked for advice, and it was given. May not have been the advice she expected or wanted, but it was given with constructive intentions. OP already created a thread about whether to go out alone or not. Let's not turn this thread into a battle ground over a singular issue.

OP, if you're also wanting to put yourself out there try bringing people to you. Host a dinner party, potluck, game night, wine tasting or other type of get together at your house. Don't make it an all out party as it's difficult to mingle in that type of setting. Tell your friends that they have to bring at least one person you don't know (preferably a straight, single male). This will give you something fun to do while broadening your social circle.

thank you. this is a good idea. this reminds me of the SATC episode where charlotte throws a party and requires all of her friends bring one single guy to the party... or an ex boyfriend.. lol. the latter being more dicey. but all in all, a good effort. i have thought about doing this in the past. my apartment is too small for a gathering though. maybe a picnic...

This needs to be repeated.

I heard an older woman tell a younger one recently that she shouldn't go looking for love. That she should just pray about it.erplexed

Mmm-hmm, sitting around 3 times a week with a bunch of other women in the exact same boat as you are is NOT going to yield you a man.

You want a man? Go to where they are.

this i have considered. not the praying part but the going where they are. i've read that Home Depot and Barnes n Noble are good pick up spots... of course i don't need to go there for any reason so that would be silly (at least to me). i go to PS1 and the MOMA b/c that's where tons of guys are... but also mostly because I LIKE going to those places! lol.

it would be good to compile a list of places where men might be because other than sporting events and grocery stores, i'm pretty clueless.

i'm also making sure to not turn down any invitations to parties and such because i could meet someone interesting. never know.

oh, and i finally caught up with the rest of the thread.

i think most of us would rather put our energy into the positive... so, if you have any ideas on "putting yourself out there", then please do share and try to stay on topic.
