Yoga classes ? The trees on Clapham Common ? Adult Friendfinders ?

Anyway, a serious thread about this serious issue, with everyone's thoughts very much welcome.

The local laundromat.

I've tried the first and the third of those options Alex....and they didn't really get me anywhere to be honest...though trying to flirt with someone on the mat neext to you whilst balancing on one leg and putting the other around your head is pretty difficult...

How about a Barbelith lonely hearts thread...actually if memory serves there's one of those about somewhere??

Prison>

I actually think I could actually cope quite well in that situation, actually. I could write letters for them, or something. I would be known as 'Brains'
 
 
Alex's Grandma
23:58 / 29.01.05
Or 'Brian.'
 
 
sleazenation
00:02 / 30.01.05
or 'bitch'
 
 
Alex's Grandma
12:37 / 30.01.05
Well, yes. I still like to think they'd respect me in the morning though.
 
 
Haus of Mystery
16:13 / 30.01.05
Or 'the slot machine'.
 
 
Triplets
16:36 / 30.01.05
or 'slut bucket'

I heard that historical re-enactment was a bit of a shagfest. I have no personal experience though.

but only for the the men with the impressive codpieces...

Well, there's heaving bosoms as well. And tights can be flattering.

Having recently descended into the suburban parenting void, I've been trying to figure ways to meet people too. While it sounds like you're looking for a romantic tryst as opposed to my need to find people willing to hang out around adults with children, I would suggest professional or hobby organizations, sort of the meatspace equivalent of Barbelith.
For example, I'm looking into the local Graphic Designer's Association, Mac User's Group, and maybe night classes at the local continuing-education college.
The nice thing about these setups is you're pretty much guaranteed to start with common ground.

Mac Users - yes, they're all hardcore babes/foxes. Trust me on this. You're well in there.

Why thank you, fridgemagnet. May I say, you're looking lovely today yourself?

Have you tried the Interwebnet? I hear there are some lovely people on messagenotice boards. &&___**
 
 
Sax
08:07 / 31.01.05
Yeah, Barbelith's the place, Alex. Everyone here's had a shag off another 'Lither. Except me.

Can anyone else hear the smallest violin in the world playing its little tune?

Sax, you have no idea how special or how fortunate that makes you.
 
 
Sax
10:02 / 31.01.05
I do sometimes peer into Nick's window when he's having a shower, though. While wearing dustman's gloves and roughly man-handling myself. Does that count?
 
 
ONLY NICE THINGS
10:36 / 31.01.05
Oh, *everyone* does that.

You forgot to mention the stilts.
 
 
Olulabelle
14:35 / 31.01.05
You shower on stilts?

It sounds really lame but I'd recommend taking an evening course or something similar, either something academic or something more practical. I've only joined them as a way of meeting people in general, not specifically for romance, but I made some friends and had a good time.

Friends-of-friends not working out for ya? I find it's simply the best way.

Ooooh! Or how about amateur dramatics? Any man under 50 is guaranteed a romantic lead by default!

What's wrong with shagging one's colleagues? It's always worked rather well for me.

My shower is on stilts. I live in a stilt house. The third floor of a stilt house. So Sax, when he comes a-calling (anonymously and unseen, wistful as yesterday's missed opportunity) wears special, long stilts in order to observe my ablutions. And I pretend I don't know he's there.

Gruff Northerner Sax sets off down the M1 for his weekly spying session on Nick's morning shower.

You can't tell from the picture, but those are lizard-foreskin trousers.
