    Meeting people can take many forms. Replying to them when they talk to you always helps when meeting people. I suggest practising with a few of your threads!

    Hi all

    Nowadays where do all the ordinary single people who are not in their 20's 30's plus go to meet other single people? Is it all through the online apps?
  • I tried the most popular apps - Tinder. But, at the moment, no luck yet, unless you are really an attractive person naturally.

    How about the way all of us oldies did it? Join clubs, talk to people at work and when out.....

    I don't think people don't go out as much as they used to. People don't drink as much, and when you're not in your 20's a lot of people are attached

    You don't only need to be drinking when you go out.
    Online dating is just one route, even then at some point being in the real world has to come about.
    Online is nice and lazy, when you filter through, there are few that have much about them that would suit you.

    Its always a numbers game. The more people you meet, the more likely you are going to get a date.

    So yes, online dating is one avenue, but you also meet people at work, through socialising, through hobbies and through friends.

    The key is to always be open to trying new things and doing things differently, as if what have you have done to date has not worked, then the chances are it won't work going forward.

    So instead of sitting indoors and hoping the one will jump at you, put yourself out there.

    The difference is that in your 20s what you do socially is different to what you do in your 30s. So instead of clubbing, you might like running clubs for example. The trick is to find something you enjoy doing and meet as many people as possible.

    As opposed to unnaturally attractive person?
  • Yawn. Not sure how this is a question. You're kind of asking for quite basic and patronising life advice.
    It's kind of obvious how you meet people but some people can meet a lot of people and be totally socially active and involved But still single.

    Don't bother wasting your time with Dating apps. As a woman, whose used various dating apps in the past, there appear to be a lot of men eager to show you intimate pics of "what God gave them" in the hopes that you will reciprocate.
