writes: Ok so I am a single 26 year old, I have been single for soooooo long. All of my friends are in long-term relationships, getting married, are already married and having children, I am really happy for them because they have found good men that are making them happy. Ever so slowly I have noticed my social scene completely dry up!! I only go out at birthdays or something like that most weekends I am at home, I go to the cinema or something.As a result my opportunities to meet anyone myself are limited sometimes I feel all I do is work!! and then go home and do nothing.I have recently joined a gym a bookclub a climbing club etc to try and meet new people, I just feel so unattractive lately, I cant remember the last time I was asked on a date or met someone who sparked my interest.I feel if I don't act now I'm going to be on my own forever, does anyone have any ideas of ways I could meet new people?

I'd say go for a dating web site. I myself will join one this fall.

Its great that you are making the effort to meet people by joining these clubs. There are other ways, dating sites being one of the obvious but such a minefield of people who really don't know what they want or say they want one thing and mean another. so best avoided unless extremely desperate (for example ME!)Put an ad in the personal column of a newspaper. Much like the above.What about friends at work - do you get invited to parties or work outings or functions.Are you looking for a long term relationship or are you looking to play the field. So long as you know what you are doing and what you want to achieve it should make it easier.I was, at your age, in exactly the same position, get up, work, back to my flat, sleep, get up, work, back to my flat, sleep. I've done this for 20 years and haven't dated at all. Finally I am gaining confidence but still have a way to go. I can now comfortably chat to women and yes I am attracted to some of them but still find it hard to make the move. If only the internet had been around all that time ago. However I have 2 wonderful female friends whom I wouldn't be without. I wish you every success.
