After his couple of years with her they split and he went back on the supermarket trawl and ended up with another who he eventually got engaged to and lived with, might be an avenue to look at. I believe one supermarket trialed a 'singles night' a while back, so it must be more than my mate who has picked up a bargain (you might even get a two for one !!!)

Alternatively, you could take up evening classes in something you're interested in. Flower-arranging would probably give you more choice than brick-laying though!

There is no shortage of incredibly attractive female doctors / lawyers / management types using this as a way to meet men.

Only ever had two long term relationships, first gf I met at college and went out for 4 years and then recent ex was a friend of a friend that introduced us and we went out for 7 years.

Am a bit passed the going out and meeting someone on a night out stage - and to be honest, always thought that wasn't the best way of meeting someone and having a lasting relationship with.

So, now that I'm older ( and possibly wiser ) where the hell do you meet someone that isn't a weirdo, or a pi55head, etc?? Is best to do the friend of a friend thing again, or ask someone out you know thru work, or do the internet dating sites ( but that brings me back to the weirdo point - how do you know?? )??

PS - I know this is the sin bin and will attract some smart ar5e comments, but if you could keep them to a minimum, it would be appreciated
