paula - I dunno. It seems there are lots of single men here in cambridge. I think the issue may be that women are more selective in who they date so the field becomes smaller.

Littlek how do you meet guys. If you don't mind me asking.

Sometimes that's true. Most of the time it's just a torment.
Kicky how do you meet girls, if you feel like dating?
Paula - read my last post on the last page. I DON'T meet guys.
I have tried internet dating, friends have fixed me up, and rarely, very rarely, I will meet somebody in a bar. But like I said, right now I'm not dating anybody.
How about you, paula? How do you meet guys?

That is true. I have a silly habit of automatically looking away when a guy is checking me out, I just realized I do that a couple of weeks ago.
I must put a stop to this behavior, I'm laughing at myself.

I used to meet them at work. It was sooooo easy. I worked in a building that had about 12 thousand people in it at one time. I left that company 3 years ago (the jobs went overseas) I have only dated 1 person in my life that I met at a bar, and I don't drink at all, so that's out. I can't seem to bring myself to do the on-line dating thing.
I have also tried the internet which has worked once or twice, but the vast number of bites have been from people I'd be afraid to be alone with on a dark street.
I work as a nanny. I stay in my neighborhood during most of the day and the kids' home during the afternoon. The people I meet are parents, teachers and other nannys. I do go into my sister's office for lunch almost every day and have gotten to know a couple of cool people, one of which is single and possibly even my type. But, I wouldn't know, because I'm too chicken to even make eye contact.
I married someone at 25 after only knowing him for 4 months, granted we stayed married for 13 years, amazing, but I am aware that rushing into relationships like that is not good. The last 2 guys I dated were rushing me so I backed off. I haven't been on a date in about 3 months.
Paula - rushing you how? Are you talking about sex or commitment?
I don't flirt well in person, if I'm attracted to the person I turn away.
This will get me nowhere fast.
The fellow I dated last year wanted to sleep over the first night, he said just to cuddle, I said no, he called a couple of day's later and said I've been thinking about you constantly. The second date I went on with him he wanted to plan a trip to some Island he saw on the travel channel. He was a bit to nuts about me to soon it seemed.
The one I dated a couple of months ago started saying on the first date "if you were my wife I'd treat you like a queen" he seemed a bit much.
Is it me?
I'm just as bad at flirting Paula. Maybe it's a regional thing? Nah, my sister is great at it....
It's not just you. I think those guys were a bit much. I think I dated one of them as well.
As an exercise the next time either one of us spots a hotty, let's look them right in the eye and smile, and then run :-) Deal?
If I did that, my knees would buckle before I had the chance to run.

Oh that's perfect, then the guy will have a chance to ask you out
Oh you can do this in your car, just don't pass out at the wheel.
cha right! What would happen is that I would fall, pushing my nephew's stroller into traffic and then I'd be put in jail.
Thank you both. Now I know why I can't meet Miss Right. It's because she's as big a chicken as I am an idiot.
