No generalities, I need a destination; an address.
I can't just "Go out and meet people!"; I need a "Here's an address, go here and meet women!"
Preferably women who like computers 'n stuff. And want a family. And are fun loving, intelligent, honest, trustworthy, loyal, straightforward, technically compentent, oh yeah... and good looking, too. 
Oh yeah, single.
Just an address; just one.
Please?

I'm kidding, I'm not that cynical, but seriously...either take Zair's suggestion (hey, maybe try The Onion's singles service) or just go out more often to the gym, the park, who knows where else. A woman'll come, and if she doesn't, maybe you can get something done anyway. Gunslinger Moogle fucked around with this message on 05-04-2004 at 07:46 PM.

I suppose you are being a bit picky, but nevertheless, you can always try online dating *nods* that's how I met my (second-to) last boyfriend.

I tried online. Worked for six months, then it was slow, lingering death.
950 miles away just didn't work. I have learned that my insecurities and paranoia are incompatible with a long-distance never-having-met relationship.
Oh yeah, and a woman whose self-esteem is high enough that if I spend a lot of time, money, and effort building up her self-esteem, she won't use that self-esteem to feel like she can then look for someone she DOES in fact, want to spend time with.

And the fact Somthor found his mate using online dating is hardly a ringing endorsement.
Go to the gym to work out and meet people. Once you start getting some form of body going, you can meet the pretty people.
Go to a bar and have a few drinks and a few laughs.
But online dating seems like it'd work well for you. My sister was a complete geek like you were and she's quit the casanova now. So give it a try, dork.

Have you tried speed dating? Not sure what the set up is like in your area involving it, but it seems to be quite popular.
And the only thing I hate worse than going out in public is going out in public alone.
No, I don't have any RL friends to hang with.

So you won't do online and you won't go out in public?

Zair sums it up.
When we're referring you to an online dating service, I don't think we mean any sort of relationship over email or IM or whatnot. I, personally, when referring you to the Onion, was thinking of just a very wide ranging singles service, so you can meet someone in real life in your area through the Onion (or whatever such service you choose).

For every bad example there are others that work out quite well. Watch your careless remarks, shiny boy.

Well, I hate going to work, but I do anyway, so yes, I'd be willing to go out in public. Doesn't mean I'll enjoy it at first.
I'm willing to do what I must, but I won't do another strictly-online-with-no-concrete plans for meeting.
I just don't know where specifically to go.

As I understand it (although I honestly have no real idea) the way it would work is you just click their personals, and e-mail them asking to get together at somewhere or another in your area, or whatever.

Well, that's why you try one of the actual online dating services, like Cupid.com. They actually help you find singles within a 25-50 mile radius of where you live. 
2. Talk to people. That is not easy. I used to find it very hard to open up a conversation with someone I didn't know but once I got my courage together the number of interesting people I've randomly talked to has been well worth the effort. Actually I couldn't stress this enough. Talk to people! It broadens your horisons no ends.
The main thing to keep in mind is that you have to create opportunities to meet people. You are never going to meet the love of your life if you pine away in your room. The person that will make you happy might be out there but you're not going to meet them if you don't create the opportunities to stumble across them.
This is not to say that any of this is easy, it isn't. It takes effort to get anything out of life.
Once you're involved, you'll make friends, those friends will have friends...etc.
Just increase your social network. It may be scary, but just do it.
Quite comical really.
