Dating advice

Legacy_user

This is quite a delicate subject for me however I need some advice as I have been divorced from my wife now coming up for a year (after 8 years of marriage) it was a difficult split and completely out of the blue I now feel out of touch with the dating scene and wondered if anyone could give me advice on the best way to go about it I've thought about the dating agency stuff and this speed dating but I feel its a bit to formal I do not tend to come into contact with many women in my line of work but feel slightly embarrassed going out to a bar and just trying to pick someone up.

Any advice Cheers.

I separated happily from my wife 18 months ago and have tried a number of online dating agencies. I have met maybe 10 women via that route and eventually realised that I was basically happier on my own. Horses for courses, but if I was still looking then that's the 21st Centrury way to go for the busy geezer. I think all the women I met were nice. No absolute nutters (though one or two borderline!!!!) Mainly like me ... too busy with work to use any other means, or really not into the 'bar scene'. Udate, love and friends and datingdirect about the best I tried. I advise you be picky about the kind of person you're looking to meet, honest about yourself, and really make the effort to meet the right people.

I would suggest finding some activity where you will meet women 'naturally' and then see whether it leads anywhere. Evening classes, choirs, amateur dramatic societies etc. It's a case of thinking of things you would enjoy doing anyway, then if you meet a nice young lady that's a bonus. Then if you decide to go formally dating you'll have something else to talke about as well.

I would rather meet a man that way, anyway, than have one try and pick me up.

There's always one of the MSE meet-ups if you live near any of them!

Best of luck!

I'd suggesting nipping to your nearest pub and listen for the chattiest person..........then make a bee-line for that person and give it all you've got ;D

Go for it and don't take no for an answer......................good luck ;D

I would recommend plenty of nights out with friends, with the sole intention of enjoying yourself!!!

I truly believe that "luurve" strikes when you are not looking for it and least expecting it! Go out looking for "luurve" and you will not find it.

Relax, be yourself and more importantly enjoy yourself. This attracts people to you as you give of an air of confidence that draws people in and makes you look fun to talk to ;D

Get your self back on the social scene, go out with friends, make new friends, before u know it you will be back on the dating scene too.
just relax and it will all come naturaly.
Good luck
