from my experiences, relationships tend to happen when you least expect it, don't go into anything actively looking for an ltr, let things happen naturally. i'd say casually date, make some friends, and whatever happens happens. would you be up for making a plentyoffish account? it's how i met the person i'm kind of seeing atm

I'm not gonna bother commenting on the whole online thing......

But, a great way that I've met many people is by going out with your friends and inviting friends of friends; or as some call them, randoms, lol

Don't worry about not being a club type of person because in my opinion it's not a place you're likely to meet someone that you'd develop a long term relationship with.

I'd suggest just going out in general with friends and saying yes when you are invited to things, for example a barbeque or house party, any kind of gathering is a great way to meet people and socialize.

Find an activity/club or co-ed sport that you enjoy and join! Whether through Mac or outside of school. You're bound to meet somewhere there, and that's one thing you'll both have in common then. I know plenty of people who've met they're boyfriends/girlfriends in my co-ed soccer league. And my sister met her husband at rowing.

If you want to get a lay, you just point at one, demean her a little, and tell her you love her. Then she'll do anything to make sure you keep loving her.

Definitely agree with this.
Especially if you're looking for something long term, I wouldn't really recommend trying to meet someone at a club anyways (but then again, that's just my opinion)
Don't worry about not being a fan of clubbing. There are A LOT of other ways to meet people

I don't understand... everytime I look at your posts it says under your name "account disabled by user" yet you keep writing stuff all the time.

Am I missing something here?
