So I graduated from University about 10 months ago and have been working in the corporate work, albeit at a tech company with lots of men. I've noticed that compared to when I was in college, it's a lot harder to meet women because I don't interact with them on a daily basis. Furthermore, I am past the club and bar scene, so I find that I get up in the morning, go to the gym, head to work, and then go home. While I really can't complain about life, it'd be nice to meet a nice woman and start a relationship. Has anyone else struggled with meeting people after university?
Plus, has anyone tried speed dating. I've acctually found an event next month and hope to check it out. What's been your experiance with speed dating?
1) Find activities outside of work that interest you and join groups involved in that activity.
2) Chat up the women who also are interested in that activity. Because you automatically have something in common.
3) There is no number 3.
CPG is right - go where the women are. Bookstores, coffee shops, libraries, singles groups at churches if you have the whole religious thing going on, art shows and exhibits, maybe a farmer's market or local street fair or celebration? Maybe change the gym to after work so you're not pushing a clock and can maybe look around, have a glass of juice, and take time to speak to someone and get to know them a little better? And don't forget girls that you know that are friends - ask them to introduce you to someone, they seem to love that.
Online dating seems to be huge - the complaints seem to be that there are multiple men for every woman. The whole speed dating thing just confuses my pokey brain so I can't comment.

I know guys in your situation, no question, life after college can be a tough time to meet other singles.
Where I live they do this thing called "It's just lunch".
Not sure how it works exactly, but it's a type of speed dating where you sign up for this service, they match you with women who fit your "type" and you meet for a quick lunch date during the work day.
I think it sounds interesting myself. Even if you don't meet someone you click with you've only invested an hour of your time, so it's not a huge loss.
Maybe there is something like this where you live?

Be yourself and be social at events. Meet people with common interest and go from there. If you met a lot of women in college you shouldn't have a problem, if you didn't meet many in college....than that's another story.
Get involved in common interest groups. Meetup.com is a good way to find these groups. Or you can try the traditional online dating sites like match or okcupid. But it's pretty rough as a guy on there
just enjoy life and do activities that u enjoy. Ur not gonna find a long term partner in a club/bar anyway unless u get lucky.
