    can you meet people at rock shows?
    can you meet people at the gym?

    I absolutely agree with you on this. I think this is how it should go, but it doesn't seem to go that way for me...I never just meet *people* let alone perspective dates. you know what I mean? I'm at work like 12 hours a day, I go to the gym, I hang out with the 2 people I know in this entire state, and when I do branch from that, I never really meet any people.
    No, I feel you completely. I am always busy, and often prefer my own company to that of others. I'll go to the movies, the bar, dinner solo. And I am content to sit there and watch people. So, I am not the perfect one to offer advice, I guess. Every so often, someone will be interested enough to appraoch you. And if, it can happen to this guy, I'm sure you would have much better luck than do I.

    Yes,
    and yes.

    My prob used to always be initiating the convo. Not sure if I had enough to say. And I hate the awkward yelling you sometimes have to do to out-volume the concert or jukebox. And the gym's weird. I always assume that the lady working out is there to workout, not be chatted up by some sweaty dude. If we happen to be arriving, or leaving at the same time, I'd prob reach out, but otherwise, some eye contact and flirty grins. Oh, and leer at her while I grunt loudly during sets of squats. :)

    Oh Goodness, I seriously hope so...

    The question is.....Is PJ gonna tour again so I have a hope in hell of meeting them? :D;)

    I've had high hopes of meeting people at PJ shows...I mean that is HUGE thing to have in common. Maybe it's because I usually go with my brother...but we LOOK like brother and sister! I think you can tell he's not my boyfriend!

    people-even guys I've gone out with-have told me that I exude a lot of independence and don't come off as someone who wants to meet people or be approached by men, etc. I don't know if that is true or not, but if it is, I have no idea how to-or if I would want to-correct that.

    you forgot 3.5, which is going from meeting someone to getting a date with them...I've never been able to do this part.
    Ha! This is the part that's worrying me :o
    I talk to guys all the time, it never worries me. But how do you go from casual chatting to going out together?
    Oh! It's all too complicated...

    I was thinking about this yesterday. We are animals, right? So, how can it be so hard? It's all those restrictions. Ah! If only it was easier.

    I asked a lot of men out because of little conversations, and not once did it turn out good. Eeek!

    this is when it must pay to be drop-dead-gorgeous. I can't image a guy turning down a really, really traditionally perfect-looking girl. I am cute and interesting and all, but I when asking someone out cute and interesting just comes of as scary and pathetic.
