However I'm a bit concerned that since all my close group of friends are in relationships, I worry that there are only a few people available to date.I'm hesitant about online dating as people say its full of weirdos, although since I met my ex through a friends, I'm scared about trying get a date from places like bookstores or supermarket.Can someone give me advice?

There are approx 7 million single women in the UK. Plenty. You just have to spend time finding them.

reader, anonymous, writes (30 August 2010): The best piece of advice I can give is not to be afraid of meeting anyone anywhere. Don't close off any of your options. Don't limit yourself to a certain age either, if you see a girl you like just go over and have a chat, don't make a big deal out of it. It doesn't matter where you meet someone just the person that they are. Online dating is not full of weirdos but you have to go to pay sites to find normal people.
The free sites anyone can join, so there are messers, losers and weirdos on those.
The days of internet dating being filled with loner, losers is over, it's now become a more convenient way of meeting someone, but with that convenience comes an increased amount of bad dates because it's easy to sell yourself as something else online. Try it anyway, bad dates are all part of the game.
Places like bookstores and supermarkets are bad places to 'try' and get a date. If you go there with that attitude it makes it difficult to just spark up a random conversation with someone. Just make a habit of talking to people when you're in these places, if you're looking at a product and there's someone beside you start a casual conversation with them no matter their gender or age. Talk to girls no matter where you are, small talk is a good skill to have and when looking to meet someone in day to day life it's best to just let it happen and not actively go out trying to find a woman.
Above all though don't worry, there are lots and lots of people your age that are single.

 Your close group needs to become a wide group. Cows do not eat in the same place. They move all over the field looking for fresh grass
People go to supermarkets and bookstores for other reason's than dating.
Friday nights and weekends, lots of women go where?? Make sure you are there.
