It’s about 6 hour drive, so not exactly a weekend visit.  We had a chat group of about 12 people, where we texted asking about plans for the weekend, going out for the night, general chit-chat, etc.  I recently removed myself from the group, it was getting a bit depressing listening in,  but not...

*disclaimer, this is mostly for venting* I recently moved to a new area of the state for a new job, and while its definitely an improvement in terms of employment, socially it's another story. The city I lived before, I decided that I was gonna make an honest effort to go outside my comfort...

Bit late to the party, but in same boat as of recently: self-sufficient professional, transferred for work to be closer to family (now only 2.5 hours away instead of 7+ hours away), but as a result, I left behind treasured friends, now starting from square one (socially). It's scary and...

So, most of my romantic encounters/relationships have been due to online dating (a couple were through friends of friends, classmates, etc.). However, the online ones seem to have a very short shelf life, if I can use that term. Even when there seems to be chemistry, after a couple of dates...

I definitely understand where you are coming from. Throughout high school, college and grad school, I definitely had stretches of time where I felt like a black sheep in a metaphorical sea of whites. Most of the time (especially in later years) it wasn't overt dislike, but just lack of interest...

Sorry to hear about this. I've been in similar situations, it does suck. Over the next few months, as you (hopefully) meet new faces, it will get easier. You will probably still feel a tinge of pain when you look back after a long time, but the constant heartache will go away eventually.

I've done this through meetup, with varying degrees of success. Honestly, it depends on your mood: if you aren't in a social state of mind (i.e. too anxious, or just feeling 'meh'), then you probably won't "click" with any of the members, even if they are potentially a good match in terms of...

Here I am :P I'm in Chico area.

Just moved here for work, looking to meet new people!

If this happened again in a month, I'd totally go! Actually moving to Norcal in late May.

Haha, and here I thought I was the only New Years baby around! Most memories of my birthday involve spending it with (huge) extended family, not just because its new years, but because I'm Armenian, and New Years is celebrated moreso than Christmas with us (our Christmas is actually on January...

Sorry, but most people aren't like this. Some are, and maybe you have gotten an unusually high dose of said population so that it's tainted your view of humanity (to be fair, the bad ones do tend to stick in your mind longer), but assuming you don't come across as a jerk yourself, most people...

Well on the surface, it seems like a simple solution: either get more hobbies/experiences under your belt and make yourself a more interesting person to be around, or try to find a group of like-minded individuals. In my opinion, the best plan of attack is to integrate the two approaches: you...

Well, I'm not sure which site you are using, but usually emails are kept confidential, since messaging one another through the site's messaging app/infrastructure pretty much fulfills the same purpose. I've had girls give me their 'private' email address before on dating sites, that always...

That's not what I took from the article. To me, it means that you should try to improve yourself by adding to your skills, specifically things that manifest outwards so others can witness them. No one says that you MUST be the second coming of Zeus, with all the confidence of one Kanye West...

Well, there's nothing wrong with aiming high. However, since you demand so much from someone you could see yourself dating (let alone a long-term mate), let me ask you this: what exactly would you bring to the table? What is it about you that would attract such a 'unique' person? If you haven't...

Well, I can offer the dude's perspective if that helps. I'm in my mid-20's, and have been using (mostly) OkCupid on-and-off for a few years. Generally, I try to avoid the profiles that have mostly underwear pics of women, since those scream "I have STDs!" to me :D . I won't say that I'm looking...

I think its partially fear of rejection, but for me, there's also the fear that we might not have anything to talk about. Let's face it, if you haven't communicated with someone in a while, even if they have been nice to you, then if suddenly put in a room together (metaphorically or otherwise)...

I'm also realizing that true friends are something of a rarity. It probably depends on your personality, whether you are naturally open or closed; for me, it depends on my mood. Looking back, I met my closest friends when I was in high spirits. On the flip side, two years ago, I moved across...

I've read that soy reduces testosterone levels.
