I have been in Toronto for a month now and here it is all about the bars and pubs. You ask anyone how to get dates or start relationships and they say....go, get drunk, go buy her a drink, head to the pub on a Friday/Saturday night. Today I Saturday and I thought of writing this.
I am ashamed to say I don't enjoy drinking anymore. Not every third day. And I am afraid of hitting on women in the bars. But also because I don't really like the idea of doing it. I may sound like a terrible old bore but I don't even like the bar/pub culture anymore(not that I've done a lot).
But if I am being honest I get jealous that guys brag about their "conquests". They took her home, did this, did that. I don't know if they are bragging and plain lying but it must happen. How, I cannot say? How can you charm someone to such an extent that she decides to come home with you. It happens in every city in every culture, or so I read.
I'd love to meet someone in the library- that's a fantasy. Or take someone on a hike up a hill. It sounds very corny and my friends had a fine laugh when I told this to them. But is it possible?
I think the city also matters. I feel like I am more at home on the west coast. Vancouver would suit me better.
Vancouver/San Fran/Portland give off that relaxed hippie vibe. The natural setting perhaps effects one's personality. NYC/Toronto are more urban classy where everyone is running and wearing designer clothes.
This is just a stereotype.
What do you think?
I am at that stage where I am still independent enough to pick up and move for good and settle somewhere and yet I want something in a relationship. I have friends with whom I share similar interests, but if someone I am romantically attracted to is also into stuff I am in(and I don't think I ever was into bar culture) it'd be great.
What do you women feel? Of course my male friends here say...you want a woman? Buy a condom and a beer and use your "game".
Better yet, go to some after hours bookstore events where authors do readings. There are usually plenty of women there.
This. Find out what Toronto has to offer besides bars/pubs. Go to concerts and talk to the women there. Join a gym, or get some free visitors' passes to a few gyms. Look in the newspaper for the listings of activities about town, and find something interesting. Take some classes (photography, dance, cooking (French, Asian, whatever), foreign language, whatever appeals to you), join some meetups, find some volunteer orgs.
Are you in Toronto permanently, or just temporarily? Do you have the option of moving to Vancouver?

These aren't your friends. How old are y'all, anyway? They sound like they're still in highschool. Women are everywhere, man. Just talk to 'em. Smile at 'em in public, if they smile back, give 'em a hello. Be personable. And get yourself a new posse. The one you have isn't doing you any favors.
