Meeting someone - what works for you?
Ok, seeing as it is Friday night, I'm sitting at home, and it's deadly quiet in here, let’s talk about what works when you're out and about admiring the local landscape.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?

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.
But! Wait! Later you & I, can go out for drinks..........
I do have some eye candy at work.
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. I wasn't enthralled after that.
I don't know anyone of my friends or family who met someone at work.
uh No!
I ain't got no plans tonight. So! I will take you up on your offer.....
What we gonna do there besides drinks. Any real mens going to be around us?.......
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.
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.
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. Will be getting quieter again and then I'll be more at home.
Is there a good place to go at the weekends in your neighbourhood?
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.
We lives in the same neighborhood. Remember?......
I haven't went out in a long time. What's it's like?........
But! I would like to go to the movies this weekend. And see the James Brown movie.
Or get it bootleg, from somebody i do know.
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.
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, but here's to hope.
...He will get used to it, or maybe I will just adapt to not having everything lined up perfectly.
You will find that special someone, K. I believe in you!
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.
There is a new James Bond movie out? Any volunteers to take us there and make sure we don't see anything of the film?
Bootleg just went over my head Angel but I'll know a place where you can do head banging.
OCD! uh oh!...........
Bootleg means that! It's been copied at the movies. Or download off the internet. And you watch it on dvd, at home.............
I think Mike will just have to adapt. Why not, if I had someone who kept the place spotless, I wouldn't complain.
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.
Haven't had a good snogging session in the movies for a good while either.
You are so fast!.................
I hear ya!.........
Jarred;
. ..... het is nou zaterdag!
What do that mean?_________________
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.
We talked beforehand about what we wanted, what we liked and it was always just a given that it was serious. 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.
I agree with you on that!.............
If it has arrived! she want be online to answer you!....
Maybe he is asleep, it's a long journey.
You got me laughing!
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!!
Still a good way of meeting someone Ed.
Good night everyone, I have to get some sleep.
