It can be tough out there, and being shy just makes it harder...we all have been there. It is hard to meet people without joining groups or using the internet these days. What is important here is patience, and determination. You have a wonderful goal of meeting someone nice and now you need to make it happen. You will need to get out of your comfort zone, just a little at a time. Perhaps start again with internet dating, maybe you did not give it enough time. Or say if you have a dog, walk in the park and maybe meet another dog lover. Maybe you like NASCAR, or anything else...you get the picture. If your go and hang out doing what it is that interests you, you never know who you will meet that also enjoys that same interest. This way, you do not have to join a group or a club, but still get to enjoy yourself. Please just remember that you will have to "put yourself out there" and overcome your shyness at least a little bit if you truly want to meet people. Baby steps..and before your know it you will forget your were ever that shy. No matter what it is you try whether it be the internet again, or new and exciting hobbies, just give yourself the time and space you need. Things happen for a reason and you never know who is right around the corner!

You need to get out of the house... You never know when you meet someone or where. I met my s/o at horseback riding lessons, and as it turns out we have a lot in common. It would help if you were not shy I know because I used to be shy and I had a hard time meeting people. The best advice that I could give you is just get out... You can try internet dating, but I didn’t have much success. All I can say is the more you are out the better the chance you will have in meeting someone, and love will find you when you least expect it!!!
