But for some reason I just don't see it happening, and I would come off as pretty desperate if I asked. But I could probably try to get one someone to fix me up somehow if I wanted.

I have stuff all the time. Coming up next is a Valentine's Class Party, like back-in-the-day parties with cookies, punch, conversation hearts, the whole nine yards. I'm even having people bring a shoebox to decorate and everyone has to give everyone a valentine. See, you have to know morons like me who spend time and energy on ridiculous parties or... dun dun DUN... be the moron who throws them. I'm inviting all my single friends or couple friends who, like me, loathe the idea of Forced Couple Romanticism. Find the most energetic/girlie girl you know and suggest this to her. Be like... "I read about it. On the internet. Have a party like this. For me. Ha." Tell her you will bring cupcakes and she CANNOT SAY NO.

I don't go on regular get-togethers, but I do sometimes, so that's a start. I'll definitely keep that in mind the next time I meet someone who's interesting... whenever that is.

I met my current boyfriend through his sister-in-law, who i've known for five years. But you can meet people anywhere... school is a great time to meet people. I have been asked out a few times by guys that I would have said yes to (if not for the whole, you know, boyfriend thing). Get to know her first, a must. As about what she does for work, what she wants to do after school, what she does for fun... and eventually you can start the cordial, distanced, polite, routine inqueries of "So, got any fun plans this weekend?" (The first time, you may have some plans yourself, just in case she turns the question around on you! You don't want it to seem like you're asking her out right away.) This is a good way to find out if she's got a boyfriend. If she does, don't just stop talking to her altogether. This makes girls sad. We like friends, too. If no boyfriend, invite her to a get-together. (Note: start having get-togethers.) This is better if there will be other girls there. Ha. Understatement. Do you have couple friends? I hope you have couple friends. But anyway, it's a nice way to have her feel like she's invited to your place but for a small gathering, rather than "going out." Dinners, movie nights, game nights, whatever. If it's at your place or someone else's, it's nice - and it often isn't construed as "going out on a date". Careful, though, if it's at a friend's; "My friend is having a dinner party... I was wondering if you'd like to come... with me..." Starts to sound like a date. Ehh. Maybe I don't have as much good advice as I thought. LOL Fortunon! Vi trovos iu tre speciala. ^_^ Sarah I think you can meet people any number of ways.

In fact, I did do some rapport-building last year. I think what I meant to complain about this time was how I don't know what to do during the whole rapport thing. Girl Talk is excellent, though. I can't stop listening to his stuff. This is going to sound dumb, but now I remember that I already knew I couldn’t just do some random askings out. In fact, I did do some rapport-building last year.

Every guy I've been with I kinda just knew we clicked. You feel like you can be be a total dork or say anything to them and everything will be okay. You just feel comfortable around the person. I can't describe it but when you look at them you're automatically 10 times happier, even if you're still just friends.
