Only speaking for myself, I am moving to Manitou Springs in two weeks. Just myself, I have no kids and have never been married. I have some family living in Aspen and some living in Denver. I do not know a single person there. No friends and no family. At times prior to me definitely moving I found that thought a little daunting, but now I find it freeing. I feel I am not so inclined to meet people here simply because I am not happy with my location, and that probably shows on my face and in my actions. Though I am positive it will be lonely for long stretches, I am looking forward to the move and am genuiniely excited. My experiences with the people there, barring a few townies, has been nothing but positive.

Bluesimple-are you male or female? maybe with the close proximity of Manitou Springs to Co Springs you might meet more people? Thunder and Buttons is a bar, but the people I have met there seem pretty nice. I would just like to know some activities where I can meet single men who may be interested in meeting women. (not a guy just looking for a good time, which you can get anywhere).

How about joining in Meetin Denver? They have tons of activities. And not just for singles because I've been with my single friend and I'm married. There are a lot of people out there just waiting to meet you --- but you have to be the one to get out and try.

I am a male, just turned 29 and feelin' it...!


I won't hate on bars, if you find one that fits you and suits you those are good places. In fact they are important places. There is a book called The Great Good Place by Ray Oldenburg. I had to read it for one of my many colleges. It is really interesting concerning people's tendency to need a place that isn't work or home for meaningful social interaction.
Anyway, I am not too familiar with the area yet. I know the Manitou strip so far and two bars there which I had visited. I have met some wonderful people in bars and have some really close bartending friends.
Activities where singles can meet? I have really no clue. I have never known what sort of actual activity you can do that would help you meet people that aren't taken. I would be into something that actually seemed interesting with that goal, but I don't know what I could offer to get there. That reminds me of those forced-meeting beginning of term exercises at school. My personality is such that I tend to quickly pull back from forced social gatherings.
That being said I would like to meet some new people, and of course I think most people that are single entertain the thought of finding someone special. C'est la vie.

The cool thing about Meetin is that it is national and broken down by city. It's not just for bar hoppers, but has groups with actual interests. If you like rock climbing, join the climbing group. Therefore you meet like minded people. It's pretty fun. They used to have monthly lunches downtown, but that's stopped for some reason.

good guys do not attract women any more than good girls attract men.
that is why if you read these threads, americans want to date foreigners.
they dont like americans. good does not work for them. its lacks chemistry
