    Go out to the bar, dance crazy and be yourself. If you do things for you, guys will not only be attracted to you, they'll be attracted to more than just your body. :) Guys are more interested in a girl that isn't trying to get attention.

    And PlentyofFish is awful. I knew a guy who had a profile on there, and when we saw it we were flabbergasted. He basically told women not to "waste his time" by messaging him if they weren't "attractive" because he would just ignore them. Seriously! This coming from a 25 year old guy who didn't have his life together and wasn't what anyone would consider supermodel material either. I didn't think he had any right to judge other people by their appearances. Then again, he didn't get that many messages, haha.

    Personally i met my fiance at church.. though neither of us attend. Fluke accident really, i think the best way to meet someone is when you finally stop looking. I had Promised myself I was done dating for a while... but I had to break that rule when i met my S.O.

    Met my better half in college 3 years ago and grew the friendship since then... but yeah, being single is a good thing. It helps you focus on you, and less on a relationship. You have to love yourself before you can love someone else, and if you always go out looking for mr right, you'll always end up with mr wrong. . . things just need to happen.

    Relationships have to be homozygous. . . If you have the right relationship at the wrong time, it's still wrong (het), if you have the wrong relationshiop at the right time, again it's still wrong (het). You need the right relationship at the right time in order for a relationship to work (Homozygous). Which leads me to my fun saying that relationships are homo :-), its a fun one to explain!

    Also - I don't think you need to find a snake lover. My better half did not adore snakes, but she did not fear them or dislike them. . . now she studies genetics with me, knows morphs, and is almost as excited about breeding projects as I am. The right person is the right person for a reason.

    Best of Luck .

    It's all cool, I met my wife in BP.net.






    the thing is we haven't got married yet, and she doesn't know me... LOL

    Yep, just stop looking and have fun doing YOU, and the right person will fall into your lap. If you meet someone when you are completely happy with yourself then the "you" that they get to know won't be the real you, and when you do find the real you then it may not be who they want to be with as opposed to the "you" that they got to know initially. Good luck and I say STAY SINGLE, at least for more than two months after your last relationship.

    Ohh oh oh!!! .... Walk around a reptile expo, close to your location, with a "I'M SINGLE" t-shirt on ;)

    That's what I would do if I were single. Hehe.

    Well, first you need to figure out what you really want if you haven't already. Write down what are the absolute non-compromising factors they must have.

    Stuff like:

    1) Must have same religious beliefs
    2) Must not smoke
    3) Must no already have kids with someone else
    4) Must be able to tolerate snakes.
    Etc etc.

    Then come up with a wish list. Things you'd like to have but not 100% needed. AKA willing to compromise.

    1) Would prefer someone taller than me.
    2) Would prefer someone older than me.
    Etc Etc

    As for dating sites, personally, I think the most important thing is for 2 people to be religiously compatible. So if you are Christian find a decent Christian dating site. There's tons of them. If you are athiest I think there are sites for those as well.

    Finally, just be upfront. Put up you absolutes in your profile. Nothing pleases a male more than straightforward honesty coming from women. No need to pretty it up ya know.

    Dating is the path to marriage: the search for that special someone you'll spend the rest of your life with.

    Be patient. DON'T SETTLE! Don't fall into the "Oh yay! I am in a committed relationship!" trap. Lots of people fall in love with the fact that they have someone instead of the actual someone they are with.

    I was 28 when I got married. I had actually given up the idea altogether when just out of the blue I met Chanin online (ChristianCafe.com) and we instantly clicked.

    So don't give up. And I'll reiterate: Be patient and don't settle!
