well then, screw the classes. wait...that's comes later in the date.

Really ... and seriously .... to get used to talking to people and socializing a bit..go to the store, the grocery store..and just chat up people..just a little bit. it will help with your confidence ... and you will see that people will start to respond. Almost everybody seems to try to stick to themselves, avoid eye contact, and all that stuff. We all need to loosen up a bit.

Just walk down the street and say hi to people. a lot will still ignore you, but the nice ones will say hi back, and maybe even smile. It all helps your ego. just blow off in your mind the crappy ones. they may have more on their minds and in their lives then you even want to deal with and know about anyway.

I'm actually pretty shy and introverted. I've forced myself to just start talking. quite often people look at me like I'm nuts, but I've learned to figure out what they're about a bit and just throw out some off the wall comment, and damn, they laugh..and when that happens, they open up to you. Its really strange, but its that ice breaking moment.

Believe me ... I've been around a bit, in many different cities, and in different situations with different types of people. We're all a bit closed and distant, for the most part.

And someone did recommend church ... this can be a bit cliquee as well, but most believers are pretty nice folks and will be friendly.

It all takes time, especially if you've not been around a lot of people. just don;t give up if you are really truly interested in meeting somebody. And I tell you what..a lot of younger women like older guys ..money or not. It depends on if they're looking for a nice guy or are in the stage of needing to have mr jockstrap. A lot of very beautiful, smart young women would prefer a more mature, intelligent guy. someone who is more into them than themselves.
