I didn't read your profile but if you are not having any luck with emails, why not just 'wink' and see what happens. I also suggest you check out 'meetup.com' to find single events in your city/area. I have a friend who had good luck with date hookup. I have had better luck with Match.

Well....that's the worst place to even bother.

It seems you don't have much to worry about. Just be yourself and it will happen.

Probably the best thing to do.

And no, I'm not being harsh.

You see, the instant you stop clambering around trying to force-find a relationship, you'll find somebody more naturally. Do the things you're comfortable doing; go have fun. Don't worry about having a ball and chain attached to you - let that come when it comes.

^^This. I totally agree. When I was single I would go out all dolled up with the girls looking to meet someone and most of the time we didn't meet anyone. Well, one night my friend and I just went to a local bar to have a drink or 2 with no expectations and no intent to find a guy. I was introduced to my now husband by a mutual friend. It just happened.

So don't look for women in bars and clubs. It sounds like you're running into a fair amount of women anyway. You don't need the bars and clubs. Some women never go into the bars and clubs anyway.

More often than not, I usually run into see a lot of single women at work. Im a cashier at a local grocery store (one of the many things that me me undesirable to women, I only make $9.15 an hr, not the normal $50+ an hr most women expect) , if Im not at work Im usually at home

Im located right across the street from a major university campus so I see lots of college girls come in all the time and work with a few male students from the college who tell me that there are way more girls than guys at the school and tell me that a lot of the girls "just want to party" and always suggest that I hang out at the campus and go to parties

but i wouldnt feel right about that considering Im not a student

Why not?? My old roommate knew a bunch of kids who went to the University of Arizona and she always invited me to parties that they were having. It wasn't my scene anyways but the point is, I wasn't a student and it wasn't weird to go if I was invited. Also, why not chat up one of the regulars who come in to your store? you're a cashier, perfect opportunity!! After a while, you'll be comfortable enough to ask one of your regulars out on a date. One of my best friends was front desk at a gym and she would always chat up her now fiance when he'd go to her gym, and eventually he asked her out! Now they're getting married. I wish I was surrounded by the opposite sex like you are..you have it really easy, you just don't see it yet .

A college campus is the best place to meet women, I wish I would have to took more advantage of it when I was in school. Because in the real world it gets harder to meet chicks. You may not be a student, but your around the same age as most of the people on campus.

Why wouldn't you feel right about it? Sounds like you have low self esteem. You assume that most women want a 22 yr old making oodles of money. You even said that your job is one of the many things that makes you undesirable to women. Why do you think that? Maybe they're shallow and it has nothing to do with you. What are these "many things" that you feel make you undesirable? Your co-workers and peers are suggesting that you mingle at the parties. Don't let what they say determine your decision. Go to a party and check it out. What's the worst that can happen? I'm assuming you are a student as well, just not at that school. Aren't there girls on your campus or in your classes that you could strike up a conversation with?
