I've not been in the dating game in a long time, so this advice isn't the result of any success on my part, buuut I find the gym and exercise classes to be natural places to spark up a conversation. It's also a place where you'll naturally bump into someone more than once, allowing a friendship to form. Like I say, I'm not in the market at the moment, but have still ended up just casually chatting with quite a few women at the gym.
I would say this probably works best if it's a particularly nice gym, one with a cafe, bar etc. So don't cheap out.

Bonus points is that getting ripped will make it all the rest of the dating crap a lot easier.

Have you considered drinking yourself to oblivion, drink driving and trying to shag anyone that moves?

Or do your weekly shop at 9:00 PM on Saturday night - only the damned and the lonely walk the aisles then.

*sigh*


Don't forget the headbutt to the nose for his troubles.

Hey, I'm a 'glass half full' person. My interests are holidays, shopping and laughter. My kids are my life.

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.

Thanks guys.

Seems like a yoga class is probably a good idea then. Not a fan of gyms but I have been looking to get into yoga for a while

I've found it really good for mental and physical health.

Plus I shagged a couple of instructors before meeting my current partner

What kind of magic do you possess that allowed you to get frisky with the instructors?

Clicked with them or went to extracurricular gooseberry fool before taking them for a drink.

And yeah looking alright helps. Got a bit of a belly and almost a neckbeard atm, not sure it'd go down quite as well.

Seems about right. You're getting to know them through doing the yoga or whatever, so you're finding compatibility with them. Even if nothing serious develops in terms of a relationship, they'd probably be down for fun when comfortable enough with you.

Hang about, have we all glazed over the fact that Millsy is back?!

Good to have you back mate. Sorry you've not had a great time by the sounds of it.
