If Online Dating is a Indication...

I guess it all comes down to being patient and being in the right place at the right time. I've been thinking of joining Meetup.com to meet more people but haven't heard that many great things about that site. I might join gym as it's no secret a lot of healthy minded guys go there to make gym buddies.

I've used www.meetup.com and it works well. The problem is I just don't have as much time to do the events as I used to now that I'm working. I definitely recommend it though, especially since you're living in NYC.

Chance meetings and such are best left to Hollywood, very rarely do you meet even a good friend going about your daily tasks because most people aren't in the mindset of looking to make a new friend or find a BF when out and about, if that makes any sense.

I feel the same way, but don't close yourself off either.

Good luck!

My take on online dating is we get what we deserve in many ways ............

That being clear, authentic and honest you reduce the risk of attracting flakes as they have no interest in you and if by chance you "meet" someone who is similar they will flock to you because it's sorta rare

IMO this will reduce the # of lost causes not eliminate them though

Online is phony by definition - it's designed to be anonymous with the ability to back out at any minute vs. a real meeting which requires real action

I'm no expert

but I've made the most of my online meets by doing a litmus check test initially - and its a real pleasant surprise when you meet someone who is sorta like you - not looking to hook up asap rather to make a connection at least partially

but it's nothing like in person

you need to get out there

sure it's a little scary

but it's well worth it
