Single people: how do you meet people to mingle with?

[Pinay_ako]

Online

Both online and outside

Outside

They have to find me

I’m single but not ready to mingle

I’m not single

[dynamicyandere]

I’ve had success online and offline.


I’m a digital nomad so I have the freedom to travel the world to meet whoever I want to.


So, in that sense, I could meet someone online and then also fly out to see them.


Meeting people offline gives you a higher ratio of quality choices since many people can hide their problems/issues behind a screen if they’re online.


BUT, meeting people online allows you meet all sorts of people and gives you a MUCH wider pool to search IF you aren’t limiting yourself to a single app (since many of the same type of people would use the same app).


I don’t think dating apps are the way to go because of the crazy saturation of low-quality profiles.


But online in general is the best option in my opinion.


As long as you aren’t limiting yourself to dating apps, I’d say online is the way to go.


You just need to patience enough to sift through a LOT of people, haha.


Offline is still completely ON the table as well of course.


But, in terms of actively looking for potential matches, I personally would choose online, if I needed to start all over.


(Also, the more unconventional you are, the better luck you will have finding someone online, if your tastes are niche.)

[WhiteBoyChill]

That’s something I’m still trying to figure out

[jennifer_bloom]

I attracted the most guys when I was working and I attracted the most friends when I was going to church every week. I also attracted a few guys while hanging out with church friends at movie theatres or with family at restaurants or while buying juice at the gas station or while walking to church from the bus stop.

[collie22]

Get out and do fun stuff with your best friends. I meet people that way

[CuriousJC]

In order to meet new people to mingle, people got to find other people that's compatible. In other words, meet people who have things in common with other people that's the only way to meet new people.

Examples:

If a person has interest in cars then meet people who has the same interests.

If a person has interest in variety of manga books and comic books then meet people who has the same interests.

If a person has interest in video games then meet people who has the same interests in video games.

If a person has an interest in cooking then meet people who has the same interest in cooking.

The list goes on and that's the only way to actually mingle with new people into friendship or relationship.

[Sugar100]

I’m single and still have to try talk to my crush at job. It’s been hard talk to him as we don’t work in the same area together and I have to approach him first cuz I’m the one that likes him. It’s so stressful.

so I guess single and not ready to mingle. Lol. or single and stressed out to mingle.

I meet guys at job but mostly all men just stare at me this it then look away. Only one guy asked if I’m single but I didn’t like him back. 2 other guys crushing on me no longer work at the job or fired. And I have a Crush and I don't know yet if he’ll like me back or reject me.
but fun fact I met ex boyfriend at a job so I guess that’s how I get a boyfriend.
And I’ve only had one boyfriend in my entire life that’s it. Now I’m 26 single. Looking for a serious boyfriend that can meet family and take pics with me and have baby lol

[BoopBoopBeep]

I've no interest in talking to a screen incessantly because you can't be bothered to meet in public, like, you know, the hundreds of people we pass on the street each day. If you're not outside I'll rarely see you, and if we meet online it's only going to be til the third time we talk before i invite you for coffee. If you can't meet, we aren't going anywhere. literally and figuratively.

[Anonymous]

Generally outside in jobs/ gym/ stores/ clubs/ sports. And sometimes online like Facebook and Instagram.

Not Tinder cause that’s an easy swipe. It’s terrible for a connection. In FB and Insta you can create a connection. I have gotten some really nice dates. Just make sure they don’t have mutual friends with your friends and your family 😬😬😬

[CaptainOverthink]

Only on festivals, raves or outdoorsy activities.
Other places are either socially 'forbidden' or just not the right format for me. I need time to get close enough to know when a hint is a hint and to know she will meet me half way.

[msc545]

With great difficulty. Trying to meet people when you are a single man is extremely difficult and actually quite fraught with danger as well. One wrong move and you may easily find yourself in jail or getting beat up or socially ostracized. It really is not worth it in most cases.

[Reorx]

The latest one was my mothers nurse, I asked her out but it's the policy of the hospital for their employees to not give their phone numbers out :( I know she really liked me, she completely dissapeared & the other nurse that filled in for her absence (highly unusual) seemed rattled. Next time I go there I'll keep thing's light, friendly & see if I can get them laughing. That was a hard stop sign as far as im concerned.

[Reorx]

I always meet women in random in person encounters, shopping, library, church, socials, museum, wine tasting, friends kids sports games etc..

[BadApple69]

I have met several of my past wives online. Plan on meeting my future wife there too lol…. Sorry…. Joking. But I have met many people online. It’s the way of the world. And it doesn’t trap you in one small area. The world is your oyster.

[DarkWinterNights]

Most of my hobbies are pretty male eccentric hobbies or with friend groups, and those that aren’t make for extremely awkward mingling situations.


Such as alone at the top of a mountain with no cell coverage: “Hello. You come here often?”

[sheenagwapa]

i don't know but right now i don't think i will go on dayes i have debt of gratitude towards teo people. rigjt now my mind have the tendency to go dark but i choose to truet

[beebella]

I'm not trying to mingle with anybody, but the last couple guys who tried flirting with me were store employees. So, I guess that's how I meet people. 🤷‍♀️😂

[FatherJack]

I prefer my own company / furry company. I'm not fond of people in general.

[Pinay_ako]

Why’s that

[MatthewA]

Feel like this is the question you should ask people that aren’t single. They are the ones whom successfully mingled 😏

[purplepoppy]

I've an active social life so I get to meet new people all the time through different events.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I usually don't. But I'll go to a bar with family or hang out with my friends.

[LiamJHayden]

I do not find it difficult to meet people in person at all. Meeting someone who is into me and whom I'm into in a dating sense is a bit more problematic, but still not terrible.

[RavVid]

Online girls are not so likely to be drunk, so likely I won't do as well as at the bar.

[WinglessFlower7777]

I'm not ready for a partner. I doubt I even want one ether

[Pinay_ako]

Why’s that?

[WinglessFlower7777]

I'm afraid of a marriage like my parents have. If I grew up in an environment like that, I highly doubt I'll ever find someone who's the opposite of my "father". I got my own problems I don't wanna put on to my (non existing) husband. And its not a good mindset to have to think he'll fix your problems. Also the thought of having sex makes me uncomfortable.

[WinglessFlower7777]

I forgot the detail that my dad is mentally abusive. If i did something he doesn't like (breathing a sertan way, walking upstairs, having the lights on upstairs, the small little things). I apologize for not adding that important detail

[Nik1hil]

🤔 Your father might be mentally ill, not his fault. Give things time. If you don't want to stay stuck with wrong person, make your max commitment level up to. Boyfriend/Girlfriend

[dolemite58]

i’ve never been much of a bar person i only drink a few times a year. I’ve always done pretty well with just flirting with girls in daily life places like the gym or at the store 🤷‍♂️

[SeaStorm1]

i has both some succceful through out online dating and made friends only in real life that i met some men.

[Jerre]

I have met a few girls on GaG, but mostly in the local Pub or as references from girls I have dated.

[Jerre]

@Pinay_ako Thank you for the Like

[DiegoO]

I only mingle online. Outside, it's almost impossible.

[Jltakk]

Eh, I don't really bother to force things anymore. Wherever I am, if I meet someone interesting I talk to them.

[chrissykerdock]

i met a friends with benefits online he keeps me busy... blowjobs 4-5 times a week and likes me in shortskirts and heels... i should be ashamed but i'm not.

[MountAverage]

The only thing you should be ashamed of is being the fake profile that you are, my dude.

[chrissykerdock]

@MountAverage i can see your concern but i'm catholic sorry.

[Rollingstones84]

Sometimes online, I just start chatting with them and see where it goes

[Ithieinop]

At work you meet guys. Usually no good or masculine ones who ask you out. Just creeps and desperados who can’t take a hint.

[mandyfire98]

The guy I'm currently seeing I met at my gym.

[Imsmurter1]

wow you so hot. wish you could be my girlfriend but you taken yeah gg

[mandyfire98]

Thank you that's sweet.

[ArrowheadSW]

Join clubs or groups.

[MysticDevice]

[Christoff92]

[DrKrieger]

Dating apps / bars / friend networks

[SonyaLB]

Classes, social groups, etc.

[Fuentes]
