Internet dating has become socially acceptable in the last 5-10 years.

There is no shortage of incredibly attractive female doctors / lawyers / management types using this as a way to meet men.

Work is usually the place.

Alternatively, you could take up evening classes in something you're interested in. Flower-arranging would probably give you more choice than brick-laying though!

Do not poop in your own backgarden.

NEVER go out with someone you work with especially youtr boss. I know!!!

I noticed on the tv ads that all the daters are young, articulate and attractive. I said to the wife 'if I looked like that when I was 21, I wouldn't need to go an a bloody dating site'

After finishing with my ex gf a few months back, I am looking to meet someone new - thing is, I have no idea where to start. Only ever had two long term relationships, first gf I met at college and went out for 4 years and then recent ex was a friend of a friend that introduced us and we went out for 7 years.

Am a bit passed the going out and meeting someone on a night out stage - and to be honest, always thought that wasn't the best way of meeting someone and having a lasting relationship with.

So, now that I'm older ( and possibly wiser ) where the hell do you meet someone that isn't a weirdo, or a pi55head, etc?? Is best to do the friend of a friend thing again, or ask someone out you know thru work, or do the internet dating sites ( but that brings me back to the weirdo point - how do you know?? )??

PS - I know this is the sin bin and will attract some smart ar5e comments, but if you could keep them to a minimum, it would be appreciated

If you're user name is true to life, you really shouldn't have a problem.
