Hello, I am a 20 year old male who has never been in a relationship or even had a close woman friend until recently.

In high school I was a very shy person and never had the opprotunity to make many friends. But after graduating, I have noticed I have become much more of an extrovert. I feel comfortable in social situations and am eager to meet new people. But now the problem is is that I can't meet new people.

My immediate friends all go away to college. So there is no way of them helping me meet people. I go to school at night where most of my classmates are well over any age im comfortable with. My job which keeps me sane and allows me time out of the house, is a lonely job (I'm a projectionist at a movie theater and I stay in a big room for 7 hours a day starting movies and reading in between).

I am not depressed or sad about this, I'm very enthusiastic and optimistic I will find someone soon. I am against looking for someone over the internet because I feel more comfortable seeing the person when we meet rather than through email. I am one year too young to drink so I cant go to bars. What are some good places to meet people that is comfortable for me to do it alone. What are some techniques to allow myself to be approachable/comforable to women?

Ask your family/friends if they know of anyone nice you could go out with, chances are there will be at least one. Is there any way you could widen your circle of friends as through them it would give you the opportunity to meet new people.

Brother let me tell you this one...

you can meet people where ever you want, time will never block you from meeting people and thinking to go to a bar ????????? are you out of your mind brother>? people in bars drink and aren't very good to have them as friends, unleass you are extremely lucky and find one in a million, rather go somewhere like a hopping centre, smile and people will see you and want to be friends with you.

Just get out there, REMEMBER that time doesnt wait for you, it keeps ticking, you only have 20 once in your life, Enjoy it to the max!

This older people there, don't they have daughters, sons, niece, nephews etc... ????? never thought of that!,

com'on brother, making friends is right there infront of your eyes, you have the feeling that you want them now go and get them... and know knows, a girl might change your life for ever...

it happened to me brother...

You purposely picked a job so that you would not have to meet people. Come on. If you really want to meet people, join a group. What are your hobbies? Pursue them, or find some new ones that involve other people. Do community service work, or political work. You will meet people there that tend to think the way that you do. Go take classes at a Junior college. They are full of recent high school grads your age. If you don't attend, find out when your local Jr. College is having a dance. Go to it. Learn to dance. Dance schools abound, and are always short of men.
