    I think just relax and go with the flow, and people are bound to see your good points naturally through conversation and sharing ideas..

    Some nice advice, like it.

    Meet people as friends, not as potential partners. I'm turned off by people who start flirting with me before I even had a chance to get to know them - and I will likely turn this person down right away because I'm not interested in that kind of stuff. But if someone approaches me in a friendly "no pressure" honest way, and I get to like them.. things can happen :)

    Fun Topic! Just keep in mind what exactly you are looking for when you look online, otherwise you will be lost and get drawn in by the true weirdos.

    Traveling using the public transportation is one of the most common way of having new friends here in the Philippines the most common beginning line is to talk about how terribly slow the travel is because of the traffic.

    Online dating has its ups and downs. I haven't done it but I know friends who have. I feel like people tend to have a certain impression of someone over the internet that changes when they meet them face to face. Showing confidence, and not being too clingy is important. If they don't respond immediately, don't keep calling/texting them!

    What a great, informative article! I really loved this! I'm new to Squidoo (I just posted my first lens yesterday + am working on my second now!) and this lens is a fantastic example for me to model.

    BTW, I'm curious, how do you create the colored (dark reddish) rectangles with white text in them...I tried to find a module for that but could not!
  • aquarian_insight Nov 25, 2011 @ 6:47 am | delete
    I was housebound and ill for 7yrs - the internet helped me retain some semblance of a social life. Join groups or forums which share your interests. Great lens.

    I like your lens. I think it approaches topics that people might otherwise feel inhibited in exploring themselves, like online dating. Lots of great detail here. I've got a similar lens about making friends when you're a grown up and I've added yours as a related lens as I think this lens has loads to offer.

    Meetup has worked well for me, but you really need to put yourself out there. The same people don't always show up for events, so if you meet someone fun at something, don't be afraid to exchange numbers, Facebook, whatever and make sure you don't loose that potential contact.

    When travelling abraod a great way to meet new people is to stay in hostels instead of hotels. Also, two of my friends actually got into a romantic relationship with someone through couch surfing.

    As you mention, pick up lines are pretty silly - mostly a joke now. But online dating is huge and great way to practice your dating skills. Guys (and gals) should learn more about being a PUA and improving their dating lives.

  • muyenp Feb 27, 2011 @ 6:14 pm | delete
    the best way is try not to be anyone you're not. If you have to mask your real personality to get to know someone, then the relationship wasn't meant to be to begin with.

    I'm no longer in the market now that I've got my wonderful hubby :) But, when I WAS in the market, I met him at a local booksale. I also remember volunteering at a running event - I think it was a local 10-K race. I did meet someone there - just as a friend - but we did have some fun outings while I was living in his area.

    For some reason, I can't see myself doing the internet thing though... :)

    Nice job on your lens!

    I'm not sure about all the "pickup artist" stuff, but there is definitely some great advice here. I stongly recommend joining a real-world club for people with shared interests. Sitting in front of the computer is really tempting, but sometimes we have to get out of our "comfort zones" to find new people.

    No new suggestion but I can totally support taking Salsa lessons as a great way to meet people. Though make sure you go to one the has free style afterward.

    Its in the free style that you really get to chat we people and make friends and possibly more.

    But being partner dance... have a shower before ;)
