Looking after ourselves

need some advice finding a friend

hi everyone

 

was wondering what people do these days to find a girlfriend or boyfriend and is there still a way you can still meet someone from this generation the good old ways like our parents did in the 80s-90s by actually going out and meeting face to face.

 

wondered because found out that the sisters seeing someone and its reminding you how much you want the friend and you know that it wont happen fast and you are doing everything you can and you cant do anymore at moment.

 

am usually working every weekend and while thats not all the reason its certainly not helping things.

 

is there a way and what can be done until your not working weekends or holidays or atleast not every one of them.

 

just feeling like it is never going to happen even though people say it will eventually, dont

have hundreds every time to hire a social companion even if its get the confidence.

 

and sometimes you feel like you have no one even though you really do.

 

last time that had gotten to experience something not even comparable was in 2005 at year 12 formal when taking a cousin and in 2013 at a friends bbq someone was there and spoke to her and thats got to be a step as never met her before and in january 2014 at a cousins wedding danced with another cousin and in 2015 watched a movie with that same cousin that had danced with at wedding year before as arrived earlier for some reason as they already were watching something and also later in 2015 another cousins friend.

 

the above is the only chances that have had and now its 2022, atleast 7 years after.

 

what are good ways to talk to girls and let them know what youre looking for.

 

where would you go in a small town and is there a way to meet someone from this generation way people used to by going out.

 

what is a way to find a girl during coronavirus, what is a safe way while trying to delay or avoid it as thats one thing not helping.

 

plus at property theres not enough privacy and just doing best with what have got at moment.

 

if you could reply back thatd be great.

 

thanks

Re: need some advice finding a friend

Hi Daisy (again)

I think the "good old days" of the 80s and 90's have gone for good. We didn't have social media or online dating sites back then so we had find other ways of making contact with the opposite sex but sooner or later, no matter how you make contact with people you will have to meet them face to face. How and when this takes place is something that is mutually negotiated in the initial contact stage.

A good place to start, particularly if you are not all that comfortable with social media etc is to just look for a friend or two with shared interests.

While customs and methods change, the basic game of boy-meets-girl hasn't really changed in thousands of years.

Re: need some advice finding a friend

what can you do for now until you can change jobs and have a better work life balance.

 

wanting a girl and sometimes feel a little left out, what are other ways and how do you get someone to introduce you.

 

is there a way in a small town to find someone your age.

 

what is safest way during the coronavirus in a way that you dont have to isolate and be stuck in a small place with others whole time
