You will have to hold up your hands then as you are wrong.
There have been quite a number of successful single groups started up in the UK over the years. Some meeting up for restaurant meals, some walking groups and others to go out to different venues.
You can have dog walking groups, swimming groups - whatever you want not necessarily just for singles.
In an ideal world it would be better to meet people through other people, but more often, that doesn't happen and so many people end up being stuck at home alone. Joining a group in the hope of meeting likeminded friends doesn't mean anyone is desperate - just being pro-active. Anyway what is wrong with being desperate for companionship? Nothing to be ashamed of in any way.
When you are younger you want to meet up with people of a similar age - not older people or couples.
. That's the last thing you want.
I agree with the comment that it is easier to get girls to join these meet ups than men. Probably because a lot of men are embarassed at being thought of as "desperate", which of course they are not.
I've come across a number of really lovely men over the years who were still single in their thirties and forties. The type that don't enjoy hanging around in pubs and clubs and not pushy enough to just chat up a girl they happen to have met. It isn't easy to meet people at work either. If I had had to rely on meeting someone at work I would have been single for the last 40 years!!
It is hit and miss at any age to meet up with likeminded people - even the most attractive of people have the same problem. I would say set up a social group for whatever age group she is looking for, put an add in local papers/shops and go from there.
I have two very good friends of 20 years who I met up through a social group I set up. Another good friend from an advert and a fantastic partner of 18 years. You would not describe these people or myself as desperate - just as "normal" as the next person
If I had waited for someone to introduce these people to me I would still have been at home alone.
You can be on your own for many reasons. Moved area, divorced and spent most of the time with the husband/wife. Parents/siblings/children you spent time with have either died or moved away. Friends have moved or just moved on........... I say go out there and do whatever it takes - don't sit at home and never worry about people thinking you are desperate!!!
