I'm sick of online date sites. Rips offs and bullshit. Where is the best place to
meet up with like minded potential potentials ? I know what I want. It shouldn't be so hard to find it.

10. i would probably have better luck
finding a man up there than you. :rofl: :hug:

if you don't get a decent guy out of high school you aren't going to find one without serious baggage later on. Guys lose their looks fast up there , too, as they get older!

I will probably go back up there in April or so. I have a grandmother who is 89 who won't be around much longer who loves my visits.

damn, i hope I am not hijacking this thread!

11. Don't worry; I'll be blamed.
I am the Hijacking Queen. You know, there were a couple of really handsome guys here this summer... I noticed immediately that they didn't belong. They agreed: they didn't belong!

No shit about the baggage/aging thing. It almost works in my favor, because the same thing can be said for the women.

I hope your grandmother stays healthy for a long time. Both of mine are alive; one is 93 and one is 97. Goodnight, jonnyblitz.

9. My BIL met a lot of great women...
on either E-Harmony or Match.Com. I'm not sure how those sites work out for women looking for men, though.

12. A dog park
It's a low pressure environment to get to know people. You can also learn a lot about someone by seeing how they interact with their dog.

Online? Be careful.

14. try signing up for a class at the CC or a craft store
at the very least, you'll learn something new.

I signed up for cake decorating a couple years ago through the local craft store. I didnt go with the intent to meet anyone, but I had fun and met lots of people who were also interested in crafts.

Good luck.
