  • How old is she?
    Overactively underachieving for almost half a century
  • I think the woman will be well aware about her dating options. I mean its not rocket science is it? theres bars/clubs, interest groups/sports clubs/work/the internet.small adds etc.
    Maybe she wants to be single or is gay or has split up with someone recently but not told you.
    I think its best to leave her to sort out her own love life really.

    Hi everyone,

    Somebody close to me has been single for two years, they need a date ASAP. They've had actually nothing in the past two years, she's very fussy about the type of man she'd like to go out with. Where is a really good place to meet somebody?

    She's very pretty (yes, actually pretty not 'she has a nice personality' pretty)
    Very intelligent
    Highly ambitious/successful in her own right
    Won't tolerate anything, like nothing.


    Ideas? or takers?!:D

    Those are problems which will take more than a little "fixing", as a guy that's pretty much two of the major red flags in any person - and a major reason as to why she is still single. High maintenance people offset any physical attraction by being emotionally & personality difficult and ultimately that's an important factor in any relationship!

    If they are that close a friend then you will understand they will find a date in their own time ..clearly they are not that worried about being left on the shelf.

    This will only end in disaster

    Chill- it's a bit of fun. :cool:

    Yeah. Totally my idea of fun. I love it when my 'friends' slag me off on the internet, scrutinise my love-life then farm me out like some sort of desperado. What's with the 'successful in her own right' crap? Do you say that about men? He's 'successful in his own right'?

    Keep your nose out of your friends' lives.

    Looking at it that way its like someone trying to be a pimp.
    Hi there! We’ve had to remove your signature. It was so good we removed it because we cannot think of one so good as you had and need to protect others from seeing such a great signature.

    I'm game. I can provide a reference from my probation officer and can go on a date anytime as long as I'm back before 8:30.

    What other things does she like/is she into? Does she find ankle tags sexy?

    What does she want? What are the kind of things about men that she cannot tolerate? Above all, what kind of help does she want from you?
  • So basically the O.P is the female of a wing man? Shes's very fussy you say and shes vwery pretty. She sounds shy. The O.p should take her mate out and do some scouting and matchmaking. Take her out!!!

    Has she actually asked you to find her a date?

    I ask this because if someone decided to take it upon themselves to "find" me a date just because they thought I needed it I'd be pretty livid and probably would no longer regard them as a friend.

    If she has asked you to find her one, take her to clubs or places that are relevant to interests she holds. Any men there will at least be of a like mind in that regard which is a much better starting point than random blokes in the pub.

    I have been single all my life but I agree 100% with this. If my friends suddenly decided to hook me up with randoms, I would kill them, but luckily for me, they know this is not my idea of fun and leave me alone!
