Any dating tips?

OK this should be obvious but they won't be looking for a dude who has a 4runner and a guitar.

They will be interested in a guy with confidence who is going somewhere in life. That is why I recommended starting college night classes. The 4runner is just a bonus.

I'm not against the whole bar/lounge thing. They can be a great way to meet all kinds of girls. Just make sure it isn't the trophy lounge and stay away from the single moms.

Also check out:
Govavi.com (co-ed sports)
Meet up.com (not a dating site, more like a meet new people site)

I see, I mean here's the thing I'm pretty confident when it comes to being in person. It's just the whole after the first contact kinda thing. Actually dating and being in a relationship.
 
DONT look for a relationship, your very young. Just enjoy your life , the right one will come your way sooner or later, if thats what you want
 
Oh yeah that's another thing.

Do you plan to stay in or get out?

If you plan on getting out then don't get in a relationship. If you get a girl pregnant then you will stay in for sure.

Sorry to say it but it's something all Navy guys eventually know about through themselves or friends.

---> Once you have "responsibilities" you are not getting out .

Scariest truth out there.

Sorry for bringing everyone down lol.

Just wanted to give some solid advice. If you are getting out at six then you might be able to hold out without a GF for a few years and just "date around" ... but if you are staying in for 8. Well you will probably be married by then. Statistically speaking of course.

A lot of what I said farther above is accurate for San Diego. The social scene is very college and bar oriented.

It happens, so far me and my fiance have been very careful and cautious, just in case that I do decide to get out after my 5. I work with a lot of guys though that end up getting married or getting a chick pregnant and they are automatically lifers because it's just so damn hard to get out once you have a kid.
 
Hey guys, here's a girls advice!! First let me say I have been married for 12 years and am very happy, we have been together since I was 17 I am now 33.

Bars & clubs are not the right place to meet women, most of them are there looking for free drinks, a night away from hubby or even a sugar daddy. More than likely you will end up doing something you will regret later.

There are a few guys that have said the right thing and that is to have fun!! Your young, don't worry about being in a committed relationship. Enjoy life and live it to its fullest. Once your in that relationship your freedom is over.

Another thing to think about is opposites attract…..I wish my husband loved 4Runners as much as I do but every time I talk about 4Runners he's like omg.
Example I used to be an indoor girl and he's a outdoors kinda guy, well now I love going to the mountains maybe even a little more than him. Same thing with football :)

But it all comes down to enjoying life, have fun, be happy, no regrets!!!!!!!

OP lives in San Diego.

It is very much a college scene, house parties and bars kind of place.

Almost everyone goes out to the bars, lounges and clubs a few times a year. It isn't just "those type of girls"

I've met doctors, lawyers, nurses and other career women out on the town over the years, all beautiful, at least back when I was single.

The scene downtown is quite good. There is something for everyone.

I'm just stepping in because several people (from CO) have said negative things about the over 21 nightlife. Here in SD it is what you make of it and there really is a place for everyone. All kinds of girls go out on the town and there is no typical bar girl. The only thing people downtown on a Saturday night have in common is that they have money to burn. Btw I'm also a big fan of bbqs and house parties.


Here are some areas:
* gaslamp
* little italy
* pb
* mission beach
* Adams ave area
* park ave
* north park
* south park

I think the real advice for going out to over 21 establishments is:
* don't go out looking for a GF, just try to meet new people
* don't get drunk if you are trying to talk to women
* again, don't get drunk; keep your wits
* drinking and driving = jail and possible NJP

ahhhh good laughs reading this thread. you all are good people.

my roommates recently found this phone app called Tinder. I paid almost zero attention to them talking about it until I wake up one morning and there are two attractive girls ive never met before hanging around in my kitchen. Next week, there was another one, and tomorrow one of my buddies is driving in to denver to meet up with yet another one? I have no need for this newfangled technology, but it seems like it works.

on a separate note, I work with a guy who has it figured out. Just buy a Ferrari and toss the keys like an a**hole onto every bar you sit down at and see what happens.

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

douche alert!! but yes, it works.

I used to drink with a guy in Tucson who owns 3 Bentleys, one of which has a bumper sticker that says "My other ride is your Mom." Every girl wants to fly in a private jet to Italy right?

:pound: :pound:



When my girl gets approached by guys, the first thing she says is, "so how much money do you make?" A fair amount actually tell her. her response is, "sorry, not enough." aaaaand walkin' away....

There is truth to this. Women can sense when you are hard up and trying too hard.
I've met the nicest women when I was out doing routine things around town.
The bar scene isn't that great unless you want short term relationships. That's where I met my first ex-wife...LOL!!

I met my current wife of 21 years at the Veterinarian's clinic. Was getting my Distemper series updated...:roadkill:
 
You are in San Diego.....that's what I call a target rich environment and Dirty....she's lost that loving feeling! :lock1:
 
everyone i know who is in a newer relationship(within a few years) found there significant other dating online(pof,facebook etc) this includes my mom
who is almost 60...
 
I didn't read through everything, so maybe its already been said..

confidence!

anywhere you go, walk in like you own the place. now, that doesn't mean to be an ass, altho that CAN work also.

mind you, unless that's how you NORMALLY are, this wont get you a long term relationship, but its likely to atleast get you laid :D
