LOL...well soldier boy was super hot. Start working on your super hotness and add a touch of sensitivity. Grow your inner vagina!

I hooked them up because he was lonely and hit on me so I directed it towards another available cute female. They both were into the same type of music and had similar life goals. They both were also close to the family.

Bar scenes are just bad news...Dont even go there.

Don't they have meet-ups for people of both sexes who love sports? What about those Speed-dating events? Something that gets you into public places where women are bound to be, looking for the same thing you are.

Don't you ever go to any parties? Sometimes it's fun to hang out with the guys and look at the women.

I am a woman, and it was always fun to go with some other women and just eye-ball the men. Even if we all went home with no phone numbers or "possibilities."

Sorry, guess I gave you advice. I just want to see that you're happy.

Has anyone on their mate through someone else? Seems to me that maybe the best way.
You mean like some of us old farts did back in the day when you attended social gatherings, parties and events and were introduced to people via friends and family. You struck up a conversation if you felt some chemistry, then perhaps the next step was going out in a small group or on a date. Then you got to know each other over time without the filling out of applications, diclosures and financial records to determine if you are mate material or just make out session material.

I don't think meeting women is your problem. You seem to have contact with a lot of women. Your problem is getting them to stick around after the first encounter.

The best referral I can offer would be medical(read psych) or a professional counselor.

I will not ever, ever, ever meet anyone through my friends again. Did it twice this year - and if anyone has ever done it and it did not work out - you know how the story goes. Nope. I rather have my skull gnawed on by wild rats. Good luck with THAT, TVSG! *giggles infernally* Will give us some great reading.

That is when you ask your friends, "What have I ever done to you?"
