How to meet new people...

Alright so the ex is long gone for good this time which may make some of you happy knowing some of the craziness lol. Anyways I am just wondering what in the world am I supposed to do in order to meet new people? Haha dating sites are full of...the wrong type of men for me. The one thing I really wish for was a dating site just for reptile lovers :D wouldn't that be amazing? It would solve the issue of people messaging me insulting me and telling me snakes are not pets then continue to insult me. I just wonder how to find the right people in the right places :) where did everyone meet the soul mate?

i have yet to find mine. or a gf. ha. most people are dumb anyways.

reptiles are awesome. so are bunnies and puppies.

Don't know where to find a soul mate, but I do know that someone who says they love animals but don't like snakes is not an animal lover at all.

Stay single :gj:

Check out some reptile shows, see if you have a herp society in your area. Don't stress finding someone right away..... It will happen when its meant to.

I agree! Don't try to rush into anything. You don't NEED to have a boyfriend. Just focus on yourself.

Not to sound like a jerk but why do girls(and guys too) feel like they constantly have to be in a relationship? Just have some fun! Life's too short!

There's nothing wrong with being single. After my bad breakup two yrs back.... I moved back to NJ from Vegas, got family and good friends back into my life, and learned things about myself I never knew. Give yourself some time to reflect on yourself... What would you change about your previous relationship? What kind of things did you miss out on while being in a relationship? What do you look for in a relationship?
Go out and have fun, enjoy life. As soon as I realized I was happy single, an I didn't need anyone to keep me strong.... I found someone that made me stronger. And the fact that she had a 7ft female BCC didn't hurt either ;)

Everyone had great responses! After a divorce and a bad breakup I tried to focus on myself (and my growing herp collection), I went to internet route thinking perhaps I could talk to guys and reaffirm that there were good guys out there without jumping into anything. To be really safe I started taking to a deployed soldier and tried taking things slow, well when his deployment was over he came to see me, proposed and moved me across country.. But I agree it starts with you being comfortable and strong with you! Live your life, find your passions and when your surrounding yourself with things you love hopefully you will find someone to share in those things!

I wouldn't worry so much about meeting people. Stay single for a while! Get involved in doing something maybe (cooking/crafting classes, book club, hiking, yoga, whatever you like!) and work on being social that way. Or if you're lucky and have a herp society around, jump into that. When you're done figuring out what makes -you- happy you can work on someone else

How to meet people...hmm well, imho...
Stop Looking.
When you stop looking at every possible male as a "possible male" and just enjoy life, it will hit you in the back of the head. Someone who is happy with themselves, and is doing what they love, not trying to impress anyone / looking for something, is the most attractive thing!
I agree with getting involved with things you love, like a local herp society etc. Doing things you love will introduce you to people who also love similar things. Whether it is more friends that share your interests and passions, or someone special, you can't go wrong :)

Too funneh I actually made a thread on here months ago asking about a reptile lovers dating website and if there wasnt one I was thinking about making one.


I too am seeking a significant other *hint hint* ;). I browse dating websites and talk to women but never find one that see's the man past my many large balls.

I have to admit I have had a few women I have liked stroke my balls but they still fear them XD

Anyways,

I dont know I really dont look anymore if it happens it happens if it doesnt then oh well. But there is someone, somewhere out there waiting to gaze into your eyes and hold your hand and will tell you they will love you and your balls.

Arent most of your balls 2011's and 2012's? Lol

I met mine in my martial arts class. :rolleyes:

He liked snakes before, but never owned one. As soon as he saw mine he was inlove and now has a list of snakes that he wants to own; he even helps me clean up snake poop!

I think I got very lucky. :D

if you say so... :rolleyes:

I remember the good old days when texting wasn't too relevant and online dating wasn't very popular you had to physically approach someone, make small talk and get the phone number. :rolleyes:

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 .

I absolutely love how you worded that. Haha :)

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.

Dang :( I really missed out on the Tinley show lol but then again I didn't go because I was avoiding a guy. Well two guys actually.

dont want a steady but if you want to talk drop,me a line

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!

I met my boyfriend (and future fiance/husband) on okcupid.com! As cheesy as it sounds, sometimes these dating sites are used for more than casual sex. I made plenty of really good friends on there until I met my boyfriend :)

I can't really add much. I met my future wifey in high school.

I actually met my girlfriend of 7 months on okcupid.com as well. She's not exactly a fan of animals without legs, but she likes me for me, and accepts that they're a part of my life. She's coming around a bit though, and as long as they're less than 100g, she doesn't mind holding them. :)

I'm sure things will work out for you and as people have said, take time for yourself and someone great will come along when you least expect it!

stay true to yourself. If self isn't ready to be in a relationship yet then don't rush anything! It's better to have no regrets and be able to say *I sky-dived* rather than *well, we could have gone sky-diving but my girlfriend/boyfriend didn't want to*.


Love is like a fart. If you have to force it, then it's probably :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::p

When my wife and I split up I waited till I was ready then went on a mass dating campaign!

I joined all the online sites, and had all my friends setting me up with people they knew. I also joined a bunch of clubs, like running clubs and swimming clubs to meet ladies. I made an effort to say hello to pretty much anyone I found attracted to!

Eventually I gave up, went to a bar with some friends - turned around and saw the love of my life :)

The saying "It'l happen when you least expect it to" .... very true for me.

^ Very true for me as well...
My father works at a car dealership and I was up at his work one day bothering him, getting my oil changed, tires rotated, and whatnot...
And this guy who worked there as well, walked past my dad's office... and I said, "Dad! WHO IS THAT GUY?! I HAVE to have him"...
... and we've been together for a little over 2 years now :)

Wow!!! Found a reptile lovers dating site!!!!!!! XD I have the link!!! lol

I think that you know you need to focus on yourself for a while, unless yo want to continually be drawn to the wrong type of men.

I'd suggest to not go looking for a soul mate or boyfriend or whatever. Just live your life and find friends and see where it goes from there. If you try to force a relationship to happen a lot of times you'll make sacrifices in areas you wouldn't normally want to. You'll meet someone it just takes time.
