- I've noticed that here, as well as elsewhere, it is difficult for
- people intheir 30's and 40's and 50's (and upwards) to meet others
- of the opposite sex without going to a place where people are
- awkward, defensive and nervous (dance bars). I love to dance, but
- these places bring out the strangeness in people. As many continue
- to point out, there are few alternatives. It would be good to
- develop some alternatives.
-
- I haven't tried this (I plan to) but I think a good way to meet people
- is to take a class. For example, a dance class. You get to meet new
- people, it isn't quite so awkward and if nothing goes right, you at
- least learn a new skill.
-
- I joined the Boston Ski and Sports Club which isn't so awkward
- because, again, people are mainly there to participate in activities
- and, oh yeah by the way you get to meet people.
-
- There is a book called, "50 Ways to Find a Lover", which will change
- the way you look at going to the Video Store. Everytime you go out,
- no matter what you are doing, you have an opportunity to meet people.
- Even if you don't meet someone who interests you romantically, they
- might know someone that would.
