  • You're probably not going to like this answer, but probably the BEST way to find a great guy is not to look for one. Ask any happily married couple where they met and you're likely to get some crazy story where everything just kind of fell into place unexpectedly, and somehow it all works out. This makes sense for a few reasons; The most revealing being that when we are looking for someone we are doing it to fill a need, created by our lack of contentment with our life as it is currently. This can often cause people to compromise on qualities in others that are actually very important to them to fill that need as quickly as possible. ...and while there is nothing wrong with this (as it is an almost universal part of the human condition), it explains why your BEST chance of finding a great person probably doesn't lie in looking for them. That is not to say by ANY means that it is your only chance... and so to answer your questions a bit more directly... you should probably focus on three strategies: 1) Increase your exposure, 2) Practice and demonstrate ways to form social relationships quickly and comfortably, and 3) Strengthen your existing relationships The first one is obvious...but let me start with the others because they are relevent to the first. Basically, you should keep in mind when meeting people that you may not be meeting a great potential boyfriend. You may be meeting his brother...or sister, or cousin's best friend...co-worker...etc. This is why you should always be making connections. The more you work at it, the easier it will come. Naturally, if you have acquaintances that you haven't talked to...call them. Strengthen your relationship with them...and hang out. Who knows who THEY know...or who you'll meet together when you hang out with them? Back to the first however... You mentioned that you are a college student, which is great because college is one of the best places to meet quality people in your age group. You already know (short of the easily identifiably frat boys and such) that everyone you are dealing with is level-headed and responsible enough to be pursuing higher education. Some fairly effective pre-screening has already been done for you. Take advantage of it! I would make an effort to develop school as the focal point of my social calendar. Get involved in some clubs and activities. If you have an activities center...use it! Taking a friend with you can make it easier to approach people to invite them for a game of pool, tennis...etc. If you've made it that far...all those games have made you hungry and thirsty enough for dinner or a drink...right...? Talk to the people in your class too! It's easy in college to simply show up to class, take notes, and leave without ever opening your mouth. You miss out on some great people however. Start up some small talk with somebody beside you. Ask a small question, or make a small comment and build from there. Before you venture outside of school, familiarize yourself with this very simple (but very effective) strategy: Ask yourself when choosing a place, "Would I want to date the type of person who would frequent this kind of place?" Are you thinking of trying a bar? Ask yourself if you want somebody that goes to bars? Thinking of a club? Ask yourself if you want a clubhead? Even if YOU only go every now and then, you are statistically most likely to find someone who hangs out there regularly. Get involved in clubs and organizations in your area that match your interests. Attend a march of dimes, or something of similar interest to you. These types of things are great because that give both of you automatic common-ground, which you can build into ANYTHING with the right words. If you work, you have an opporitunity at your place of employment as well that is probably untapped. Most businesses require you to interact with LOTS of people, both customers and colleagues. Utilize strategies 2 and 3 and watch the magic. Hopefully this has given you a few ideas. You'll quickly find that it's not NEAR as much where you go as it is what you do at the places you already go. Open yourself up enough and even places like the bmv can qualify as great ones at which to meet people. Above all, be patient! Even as you are out there looking, focus on yourself first. A person who is self-confident and happy is MUCH more approachable. ...and keep in mind in the long term, after lots and lots of looking, you may end up finding that the perfect guy will fall right into your lap inexplicably through no effort of your own. Good luck, and happy...hunting!
  • The first thing to do is avoid bars. That is just asking for a bad guy. There are single guys every where, typically class or common interest clubs are your best bet. Be bold, strike up a conversation if you see someone wearing a cool shirt or something. Guys are just as shy as girls, particularly the good ones I think.
  • Facebook or Orkut. I can gurantee you'll find the boys but I'm not sure if they'd be good for long. The next best alternative is me :)
  • 1-Churches (you don't have to belong). 2- College campuses (pledges could use a self-esteem boost) 3- Coffee houses (Starbucks, Einstein Bros) 4- Grocery store (check for a ring first) 5- At volunteer sites (soup lines, retirement homes) 6- At a major construction site (at least you'll know he's employed) 7- Community parks and recreation sites That should get you started. Here's where NOT to look: 1- Bars 2- a basketball/skateboard facility. 3- Bars 4- Elementary school playgrounds 5- Bars 6- Narcotics Anonymous 7- Bars 8- Lamaze classes 9- Bars 10- Divorce court
  • Avoid: the Internet Try: church, bars (early in the evening), school socials/clubs
  • There aren't any "good" guys in your class or around campus? The best place for me to meet girls is at campus. Bars, Clubs, Malls, Pool Halls, etc etc.. Not really a good place to fight the "one".
  • 22 ur too young to find a good guy have some fun with lots of guys right now
  • Men are very simple!, they are the ones that have yo search!, if you just look in a mans eyes, and say hello!, you will have any mans atention! I promise you!
  • It's nothing but your luck to find a good man. Expect for the best but prepare for the worst!
  • id rater say that you go to the beach and you will find many hot guys over there
  • Don't look so hard let him find you and if they not in school or don't have a job stay away..lol
  • May I suggest you try using Google? grin...
  • A great way to meet people is through friends. Often the friend has an idea of what type of person he is and if you might make a potentially good match.
  • Determine which things you like most in life. If you like animals, volunteer at a shelter. If you like art, become a volunteer docent. If you like to cook, join a cooking club or go to one of those places like KissZCook. I'd suggest being a volunteer at a theater - hand our programs, accompany people to their seats - but there aren't lots of single, heterosexual males in the theater - and if there are, they are usually married.... the museum docent idea is great.... I'd use it if I weren't already married. You'll find men everywhere you go - if they want to be found. If you like the activity, and you find a man there who likes the same... well, it is a good start.
  • y look for them out in places... do you trust god ,trust yourself if yes then ul get it one day.... just think that if you have still not got anyone coz god is busy making the perfect lov3e story for you.... i know its not guinine but trust me it works if you believe in yourself.... okkk soo just try to maintain your persanality... means just dont run beehind guy..guys like those gals who avoids them... and its very much true....
  • I would say to start with where you are. You have a field of diamonds in the rough, and it makes for an excellent place to find someone. If not, the world is full of guys.
