You are welcome at the monthly Lausanne drinks I believe you didn't try them out yet.

We come together again next friday - the group includes quite a number of people of your age as well - you are probably able to share your interests and values as described in your profile ......

cheers

Actually the best way to meet people is to organise an event yourself.



1. It'll be something you'll want to do

2. As the organiser everybody will get to know YOU..

3. You'll be remembered on the site at the "..... " lady , as many of the people on here are.

I go dancing. E.g Argentinean Tango tends to attract a more adult audience, and it's easier to chat with people since the music isn't too loud.



In summer, plenty of people participate in mountain walks, which don't have to be very sporty.

Reading your profile, I think that there are many 'Members Activities' and 'Events' that would match your interests - you just have to look carefully ! :)

I have to say it:

If your internet-dating nickname is similar to the one you have here, I can imagine it's a "jungle"...



:D

Have you tried Plenitudes in Geneva.  A match making service for professionals?

GLOCALS is NOT about Dating, and not a dating website, so this type of serious agency is a good solution. www.agence-plenitude.com/index2.php

Thanks for that but,from what I've seen "professional people" means people with plenty of cash to splash out on expensive services - and that ain't me!

This agency is more than half the cost of the dating service advertised here on glocals !

Remeber - agencies do "work"  and can't do everything for free. Some agencies are about making money, and they are chain agencies.  Others really want to find matches for people, and are run by a real person, doing a real job.

Sure, one has to take a RDV and see what they are like !  And see the costs.  When the top service in geneva asks 5000-  that is a bit steep !  Sure they want to target rich singles, in that case, I agree - money making machine.

What I noticed -  These money makers don't divulge any of their listed profiles !

If you visit Plenitudes, they have a real sampling of real clients !  Sorry, but That is an added value in my book - Real people - real profiles - available online, not just once you pay your fees !

Honestly, I don't see myself paying someone to find Mrs Right! I'd rather count on hazard or friends. Let people around you know that you are single, go to places where you meet new faces -- Glocal events, dance, parties, continuous education, colleagues, cooking courses, politics, church, volunteer work, you name it.



You may also want to ask yourself why you are single. I don't know you and there absolutely nothing personal in what I say, no second thoughts or dubious feelings, but are you ready to meet someone? I mean really ready? Did you get over your last relationship? do you value yourself enough to be in a relationship? are you ready to expose yourself, be open to someone else or are you hiding behind walls of angst? are you willing to listen rather than talk? know rather that convince? meet rather than socialize? say yes rather than say no?



Glocals may not be a dating site, but nothing ever forbid you to ask someone for a drink. The rest is all yours, in the the real world: call it an appointment, a chance, a meeting, a rendez-vous or, mind you, even a date.

Great idea but the next event is for the 25 - 38 age group ! You are going to get the "oldsters" from the Musical Chairs post all up in arms.
