Meeting someone - what works for you?

Ok, seeing as it is Friday night, I'm sitting at home, roll eyes doh and it's deadly quiet in here, let’s talk about what works when you're out and about admiring the local landscape. cool

Inspired by Lukeon’s blog what not to do, what is it that you do?

Seeing that getting drunk and making a fool out of yourself isn’t the most successful thing to do, what worked for you in the past or how do you want to be approached? popcorn

its an good question i real dont know rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
loves make you crazy thumbs up
Only if it doesn't work jared. wine
i dont know im not an loverboy thumbs up
A lot of people meet in a work environment & as you say being drunk isn't helpful, especially at work laugh in that situation I would advise being the managing director wink laugh rolling on the floor laughing wine
scold Well! My Favorite Neighbor, KN.
I just got back home! And i am online, on the blogs club site, Listen to a radio talk show online. And watching tv. That is working for me right now.
talk to hand But! Wait! Later you & I, can go out for drinks.......... waiter
A good conversation is all it needs to get me interested. Sounds easy but there is a lot too having a meaningful, enjoyable conversation with someone.....at least for me....don't know about others.
Did it work for you Z? I was always conscious that if it didn't work out, it might get awkward if you have to work closely with someone when it's over.

I do have some eye candy at work. batting laugh
There weren't any women in my business so no chance of that happening laugh but had there been & it didn't work out I still think being the managing director would work in your favour wink laugh rolling on the floor laughing
I completely agree ekself. I don't like chat up lines or superficial BS, but I do like to have a conversation with someone who enthralls me and wants to make me see him again and continue the conversation. :conversation:

It happens rarely enough, the last time I had a witty and really nice conversation, I was ask after 5 minutes if I could take him home. roll eyes I wasn't enthralled after that. laugh
That's true Z, laugh wouldn't work in my favour though.

I don't know anyone of my friends or family who met someone at work. confused
KN;
uh No! uncertain
I ain't got no plans tonight. So! I will take you up on your offer.....shimmy
What we gonna do there besides drinks. Any real mens going to be around us?....... popcorn
What sort of firm do you work at that doesn't hold social functions that give staff the opportunity to meet new people, your managing director must be married professor laugh rolling on the floor laughing
My goodness... YOU blog as I leave?! I have waited so long for this moment!

What works for me is honesty and integrity, an ability to communicate is very important. And an acceptance that as I am over 40 I have some rather ingrained habits. They aren't always good habits. laugh

Oddly enough, I don't believe in stepping forward with your best either... if someone likes you for who you are, then... that is ideal.
Kilkenny has a good nightlife, so lots of men ogling possible Angel. laugh

I thought I have a quiet night because it'll be busy enough the next couple of days, but not used to sitting at home on the weekends when I'm here and not travelling. dunno Will be getting quieter again and then I'll be more at home. conversing

Is there a good place to go at the weekends in your neighbourhood?
Yep, they upper crust are all married Z. laugh

I am working in a production factory btw, so about 95% are men, but I work with a good few women on the paperwork side.
laugh KN;
We lives in the same neighborhood. Remember?......rolling on the floor laughing

I haven't went out in a long time. What's it's like?........wink

drinking But! I would like to go to the movies this weekend. And see the James Brown movie.
head banger Or get it bootleg, from somebody i do know.
Abagail, hug one more reason for you to stop by the blogs from time to time. laugh I don't blog often, but it did happen before (once I think confused )

Honesty is very important for me and something that very often lacks I find. Being able to talk to each other, have fun but also share thoughts has to be there, nothing worse when you don't have something to say to each other and just gets bored. I have gotten mighty comfortable with having no one around the house to go on my nerves and I'm getting slightly worried as in how much I can tolerate having someone lying on my sofa for any length of time. uh oh

I hate holding myself back when I meet someone and I think if someone likes you, he wants to be with you as well and makes a similar effort to spend time with you.

I was surprised how fast I did get used to someone's company and how much I just enjoyed to spend time with someone when I met one special guy in the past. Not sure that'll happen again, dunno but here's to hope. wine
I have a bit of OCD, so you can imagine what it's going to be like for Mike if he doesn't fold the towels correctly?? laugh My friends and family often pick on me because they open a cupboard and it's like a retail display.

...He will get used to it, or maybe I will just adapt to not having everything lined up perfectly.

uncertain

You will find that special someone, K. I believe in you! angel2
You just life at the posh end Angel. mumbling

Kilkenny is good fun in fairness. There are lots of places where people of the same age group go to, it's not always ideal to bop around with the teens. laugh

There is a new James Bond movie out? wow Any volunteers to take us there and make sure we don't see anything of the film? batting

Bootleg just went over my head Angel dunno but I'll know a place where you can do head banging. head banger
Abagail :
OCD! uh oh!...........uncertain
laugh KN;
Bootleg means that! It's been copied at the movies. Or download off the internet. And you watch it on dvd, at home.............rolling on the floor laughing
I can imagine Abagail, I don't have OCD but having my niece over and the content of her bag decoratively distributed all over my living room did make me a bit itchy. mumbling

I think Mike will just have to adapt. grin Why not, if I had someone who kept the place spotless, I wouldn't complain. laugh

Thanks Abagail, I don't know if it's possible to find happiness twice, but I know what I am missing and I do want to be happy with someone again.

I just don't know about the forever part. dunno
I don't watch a lot of telly, so the worst couple thing someone can suggest is watching a DVD. laugh

Haven't had a good snogging session in the movies for a good while either. moping
KN;
laugh You are so fast!.................rolling on the floor laughing
Not in everything Angel. laugh
het is nou zaterdag thumbs up
KN;
laugh I hear ya!.........wink


Jarred;
.drinking ..... het is nou zaterdag!
What do that mean?_________________
Ok, something that works for me. confused

I don't like dating - I met all my significant others through friends and got to know them well before we started going out. The better I knew someone, the longer it lasted and in fairness, I had a great time with 2 of them. laugh

We talked beforehand about what we wanted, what we liked and it was always just a given that it was serious. dunno Simply doesn't work like this here and it makes it hard for me.

I do have a thing for someone who is bright, kind, caring and liked to laugh. I wouldn't mind to meet someone to just being able to have fun with and cuddle up. smile
Now it's Saturday jared. wine
KN;
I agree with you on that!.............thumbs up
Did Mike's plane already arrive Abagail? wave
laugh KN;
If it has arrived! she want be online to answer you!....rolling on the floor laughing
I forgot to ask earlier Angel. doh

Maybe he is asleep, it's a long journey. conversing
KN:
laugh You got me laughing!
Something which should be done often Angel smile
KN;..........................laugh
wave A Dance will work.
Dancing at a club.

I'm an old dude but I've always known how to dance. When I was young I had many GF's mainly because the were my dance GF's with no ties. Then I got middle age and I still got the babes because of dancing.

Then time passed and I went to a club with my son and his cousin. They sat there, and both are very handsome, but they couldn't get shakin'!

So I said, watch this son. This what you need to do. I got up and asked this lady to dance.

Suddenly there were many women asking me to dance. My son and his cousin still get a kick out of that night!!

So...go dancing and see where it takes you. Maybe to that love your looking for!!
Hi pedal and Ed, I do like dancing myself, the other half not. laugh

Still a good way of meeting someone Ed. bouquet


Good night everyone, I have to get some sleep. happy place wave
