I feel like I have a lot going for me. I'm 23 years old, a nurse, have my own apartment, car, pay my own bills. I have lost 50+ lbs since my surgery and have more confidence now than I have ever had in my life. I do get more attention from guys, but they all seem to be douchebags or at least 20 years older than me (No, really, the majority of attention I get is from older guys and I don't really know why that is). I have been told by so many people to not go looking for boyfriend material in a bar, but I don't know where else to go! I just feel really lonely and feel like I am at a good place in my life and want to share all these new experiences I am having with somebody. So does anyone have any advice as to where I can meet a good, decent guy?

I have met quite a few nice guys on Plentyoffish.com.....and it is 100% free! just weed out the frogs!! good luck to you

I hear OKCUPID is free to, I have tried match .com but met one to many frogs and I am ok being single, be you, enjoy you, and when you arent looking ( I know I hate when people say that)...it will happen

GOOD LUCK

Church is a good bet....not a guarentee but a good place to start.

Good Luck!

A good one is worth working for....and praying for....there are so few of them out there these days.

I am thankful I have a good that believes in going to church...speaking of that.......it is getting late and the alarm will be going off soon to get up and get ready for Sunday service.

I agree with Stagegirl find a church with a singles ministry there are many, not saying you won't find a weed or two but I really feel God sent my husband to me so I suggest a conversation with God is a start. Alot of the single groups are very activie, movies, out to eat, etc. Some of the really large churches will have more singles. Try a couple you might be surprised. I wish you best luck, don't settle!!

Quite a few of my friends have met their partners through eharmony. The good thing about eharmony is that there's a detailed personality analysis, and they match you with people you're actually likely to be compatabile with. This is different to the other dating sites that will just match you with people who are the right gender, age, and near you.

I met my husband at a sporting school. Maybe that could be something that can help you with your weight-loss goals as well as introducing you to a new social group. A lot of sporting clubs have social events and a lively social scene. I met my husband doing martial arts, but I've also been involved in clubs for scuba diving, soccer, and Water polo that all had frequent BBQs and parties. At the very least, you might make some friends, and "the one" could be there, or your new friends might be able to introduce you to him!

Match.com is where I met my hubby. I have heard of a lot of couples finding success on match.com. Go to a sight that you need to pay for-then only serious men will be there-ones truly looking for someone special. Free sites attract all kinds and I wouldn't suggest going on them. Don't limit yourself to chance meetings in this computer age. Meet in a public place and for a drink/coffee. Don't spend months emailing only to find out you are not compatiable-try to meet after a brief correspondance. You will go through a lot of duds though-but he is out there-that special someone!

Match.com!

I have lost almost 100lbs, feel so confident & ready to date, but just moved to a big city where all I was told was how hard it is to meet guys (very touristy)....so after years of friend trying to get me online, which I thought was crap, I finally have in & signed up....started taking to a few guys just hours later but ine really stood out...we clicked so well, talked for a week, went it on a tuesday for one game of pool...that turned into 4 games, 2 drinks, & dinner....and a date the following 2 nights...we've been dating for a month and its AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Can't believe I'm saying this but match.com WORKS And yes, I chose it because I know lots of ppl who are married or engaged,and thet all met on match

I DID marry my Dr., family Dr., not Obgyn., or anything weird!!!!!! He passed away and I had a lot of dun on Match.com. YES! There are losers out there, but aren't they everywhere. I am still friends w 2 men I met 12 yrs. ago on Kiss.com from when I was single before. We still email, etc. So.............it can be a good thing. Fortunately, the weirdos USUALLY show their colors upfront, if u are looking. Run fast, run VERY fast! LOL! best of luck!!!

Just like Jen1214 I met my fiancé on craigslist. There are lots of weirdos out there, you just have to have the patience to believe that the right one will come and love yourself the same as you want others to love you.

I met my husband at work 19 years ago!

I say at work?

dionaw

I am a non typical stereo type! I was my husbands bar tender ( I was in college, he had revently graduated college) and who knew that we will be celebrating our 20th anniversary in July!!! More in love than ever. Just remember he could be anywhere , but I do have several friends who found their (2nd) spouses through match and eharmony! Good luck, your prince awaits you!

Match.com. Met and married my husband. We have been together almost eight years now! Best advice I can give is to go with gut instinct. If you meet them and it's not right, move on...plenty of fish in the sea!

I met my last two long term relationships online first was on Love@aol and the other was on black planet which was ironic because he ended up living in the apt complex across the street! As everyone said there are a lot of frogs wherever you look but I enjoy online because you can weed out crazies alot easier than in person good luck on your search.
