Definately not gigs. I've gone there to watch a band play because I want to hear them, I don't want to listen to you chewing my ear off about how awesome my wristbands are, ohhh what a nice tattoo, I nearly went to Glastonbury once, wow we have so much in common.

The gym I guess would be quite a good place to meet someone. I do a lot of walking and so many times a sexy man has ridden past me on his bike and I've thought 'Stop, come back!!!' and off they zoom.

[Katster]

that reminds me of the time I first met you at The Castle... and the look on your face!

[IndianSummer]

Where do folk reckon are good places to meet new women (or men if thats your thing)?

Got bored of trying in bars and esp clubs.

I'm thinking about joining a gym, not only should it improve my chances by looking a bit better hopefully be a few nice ladies that go there as well.

Always thoguht gigs might be a good diea as you know that you'll liek the same music etc, always liked to meet a girl who would rather go see good bands than listen to Boyzoe etc! But then same sort of problem as bars where your usually pretty drunk and well gigs are a bit loud for chattign to folk!

Anyway any reccomendations?

[ronaldo]

I'm not so sure about meeting people of the opposite sex in the gym. Depends whether you like the red faced, sweaty look - well I guess it gives you an idea of........ . Most people tend to be plugged into i-pods in the gym so it's not easy to get the conversation started.

Having said that I can't think of any specific place to improve your chances of meeting a girl. The supermarket is apparently a popular one

God, are you still letting that one guy get to you?

[greeneyes1980]

Ha ha i am sat here chewing an empty plastic cup when i realised i sounded like darth vader. this has entertained me for about half hour. brilliant

[Goblinz]

Yes, I can't sleep at night, I can't go to gigs without coming out in a rash at the thought of him being there......

Ummm, no. It just happened to get mentioned again (people attempting to pull at gigs) and my story is a good reason to put people off doing so.

[Lithium05]

Just sounded like you were dwelling on it a bit. Not all blokes at gigs are going to be like that and whether you met him at a gig, in the street or at the supermarket he would have still being a twat.

I'm quite sure he would be. However, I think the whole idea of trying to pull at a gig is a bit silly! Whether you are a nice guy or not I've gone there to hear music. I don't like the whole idea of pulling at all to be honest though......it kinda smells of 'any girl will do so long as she's attractive and ticks certain boxes'. I much prefer the idea of allowing things to happen naturally....as Sifi says matters of the heart are not some sort of contractual agreement. In that case actually I don't think there's any good place to meet someone, it's just the luck of the draw!!! I do wish some of those mountain bikers would slow down though....I even held a gate open for one once and told him he had great timing.....he laughed, said cheers and then shot off past me up the hill.

[greeneyes1980]

i've pulled at a gig! girl in fron of me kept pushing her bum back into me after a while it became blatant she weren't doing it by accident, so in a swooped put hand on her arse, bought her a pint wallop!! next thing i know she is catching a train home sunday morning.

[Cultseeker]

I wouldn't try "chatting someone up" while a band were playing, maybe at the bar, or in between support acts, but not while the band are on!

Ever seen the film Singles?

That reminds me of a scene. Outstanding film, which I'm surprised I haven't mentioned in here. An intelligent, comical and realistic look at the issues surrouding singledom with the greatest film soundtrack ever made.
