seems like a lot of effort to make new friends, get a whole new social circle just so you can meet a girl in it....

why not meet a girl, and make friends with her friends.. ?


I swear... the people that come to this site..

If you have any single friends why don't you go out together, it's probably best to go out with other single friends as the ones who are in relationships more than likely wouldn't want to hang around the single scene

Just because you're friends have partners counts for nothing, I'm 25 and single most of my friends are married or have bfs but when we have our girlie chats all they do is complain about their other half personally I couldn't settle or be with someone out of habit which a lot of people do these days.

Coastal California--same as NYC. It does depend on your location. Seattle used to rank as the singles capital of the US. Where do you live, OP? Get out, join weekend sports leagues or hiking groups--whatever's popular in your area. Check out enviro or political action groups, they draw a young crowd. Take a yoga class just to meet women. Talk to women everywhere you go, just be easygoing and friendly. Women cross your path every day. Talk to them.

Well if you go by the people on CD all men and women are single and desperately looking for a relationship but hate the opposite sex and the rest of us are married but desperately unhappy

There's a notable difference between the percentage of singles in their early 20s versus the percentage of singles in their late 20s. Also, many singles generally associate with other singles and go to places where singles are likely to gather. Likewise for couples. You need to expand your social circle and try going to different venues. And stop worrying about this altogether...project a positive fun energy.

Even if it's true that only 30% of 20-somethings are single in your area, so what? It's not like you're looking for a needle in a haystack. Unless you live in some little bitty town in the middle of nowhere with a population under 500. The hard part is finding someone who's available and is attracted to you and is a potential good match...but still, you gotta go out into the sunshine to even have a chance of finding someone.

This is extremely limiting. There's a whole world of singles outside your social circle. You're really missing out.

I live in a suburb of DC. My friends are split about 60% in a relationship to 40% single. Someone needs to branch out. There are plenty of singles out there.
