well sorry if the title offends anyone.. forgive me in advance..
this was my first weekend off work in 6 months.. so last night(saturday) got dressed very nice and all made up and such.. I was going to be brave ( or so i thought) and go to a local place at the casino and have a drink and maybe get asked to dance.. I walked in looked around and walked right back out.. people were all in groups or couples and i felt really outta place.. there are times when single sux worse than others.. whats a gal to do.. dang wasted weekend.. ****** sigh..

Yup, aint it a b**ch? I can barely stand to go to parties with my friends anymore because I hate being the only single male there.

Oh man Sweet, total bummer. Sorry 'bout that.
Are there any singles clubs in your area, or groups of singles who meet for common social activities of interest?

you gotta give it more than 30 seconds, next time stay and have the drink at least, you never know what may happen in that little bit of extra time.

I to think I would have given it more time. I think at least a couple of hour's. I would not let this discourage you at all. I think it is great you went out. I plan on doing what you did more often. It is better to try and have no luck than to never try at all. Hang in there and most definately go out again. It is better than spending a quiet night at home.

It was so much easier when I was a drunk. If I couldn't get any attention from my friends I could always count on the cops to keep me entertained.

Just glad you said the cops, and not your fellow lockups, Sponge! (although I hear it's a pretty wild crowd when they're serving salmon loaf)

Sweet i use to go alone to dinner or for a drink a lot.... the thing to do is find a table that you feel comfortable at...heck my favorite spot use to always be in the corner and i'd prop my feet up and people watch....after you start watching start making up stories to yourself about those around you are watching.....  and believe me you will have fun because you will start smiling and laughing to yourself and someone will come ask you sooner or later what you are smiling about.....  <---was never my intention the last part but it seem to always happen.....sorry you had a rough night we've all been there...so go back and give yourself another chance to have some fun.....

Hi Sweet
I go out alone and like Nah I just pick spot to sit and enjoy, when the times comes I mingle a bit and sometimes end up getting a danch or two. For me its just fun to be out, even if no connection happens.
If you can try another night, fridays (here) seem to be more of a singles night than saturdays.
Enjoy

Sweet...I know how that feels because I've been there too and feel like I really stand out by being alone but..were you there long enough to see if there was a single guy hiding in the back of the room? lol
I have a girlfriend that always sits at the bar and talks to the bartender...you might want to try that too. And Saturday night is "date night" around here too...if you can try a Friday night and don't make meeting someone your goal. Listen to me talk...I can't do it either! lol
Hate to be all gussied up with no place to go! Good luck next time and KEEP TRYING!

sweet...i agree, if you had the strength to make it in to the place, you should have stayed for a little...ordered a drink-that alone would losen you up and gave time for someone to notice you...
sometimes they seem like all are in 'pairs' but there are ones there looking...just like you.
i give you credit for going there by yourself! that alone is a huge step! next time...stay awhile.... take your shoes off, sit awhile...(theme to beverly hillbilly's plays)

I used to talk to the bartender also years ago (I don't go to bars anymore). And, if you can find a place that has a female bartender...all the better.
