I never dated until once in college...but we broke up. Now that I am out of college, I used an online website to meet someone but it was kind of LDR and it ended today I think because it was LD... So I am not sure how to meet someone or where to start. I don't think it will ever happen...I live in a small town and I don't go to parties or anything like that. And I tried the online thing but that turned out long distance and I kind of think someone who lives closer to me might work out better... Any ideas? Posts: 41 | From: 17059 | Registered: Aug 2010

Have you looked into any clubs or organizations in your area? A lot of times that can be helpful when meeting people because it helps in already knowing you have some common interests.

Having come from a small town, I know the feeling. But everywhere has groups, clubs, so on and so forth. And if not right in your town, likely in surrounding towns and areas.

My friends I had this same problem. I had/have very few close girl friends and none of them back then were into clubbing or going to bars. And as a single girl I just hated the idea of going to a place with alcohol effected men. I also don't do sports or many other 'group' activities.
So I did internet dating. The first date with a guy was good but he broke up the next day (I had an awful habit of asking a guy to be my boyfriend on the first date).
I was hurt by this but a while later I went on and saw a guy I liked. We chatted for 2 weeks before we went on a date.The rest as they say is history.
I am going to be celebrating my 2nd anniversary on dec 14th, we are living together and are informally engaged! I am on cloud 9 at the moment
So give it a go, but please remember that 1) don't lie about important things that he will find out later 2) meet in a PUBLIC place, so you feel safe.
