Fellow Singles in Search of…

I joined St. Louis Singles in August of 2007. I was very guarded and somewhat leary of joining a Singles Group, but not wanting to waste my time in search of someone special at other venues, I became more relaxed with the idea. What harm could it be? One of the best things about this group is the quality of people in the group, with a vast variety of interests, and the quality of the staff and their efforts to plan “get togethers” or social events for us. The majority of us in the dating world, whether coming off of a failed relationship or none at all have probably had the “proverbial wall” up and are somewhat guarded about taking the chance. That is what this is all about. We all have comfort zones and sometimes are not comfortable expanding that zone. You must do it. It is healthy and very exciting to take risks in life. That is what makes all of us the unique individuals that we are. We all have something to bring to the table. There is someone out there for all of us. You have to be willing to take the chance. I started by viewing several profiles of an age group that I thought was appropriate for me, and low and behold, others out of that range were “profiling” me. I have been on several meetings or dates as such, and I have had an incredible time. Let yourself be open to new things and ideas in your life. It makes it so much more exciting. In such a uncertain world that we live in, life is too short not to take that leap. Life is much more enjoyable when you have someone special to share it with. I have made a lot of new friends, both women and men. Like family, true friendships are to be cherished. Make introductions to others. Don’t be discouraged if the introduction is denied, just make another one, then another. You will see that attending the gatherings is also very helpful and a blast. When in person, people have a tendency to be more relaxed. You have the attention of someone in front of you. If you want to move forward, you have to take that chance. If you are half as successful at meeting people as I have had the fortune to be, you will have a great experience and not to mention the time of your life. Your life is important, but LIVING your life to it’s full potential is where you will find true happiness and peace of mind. Make introductions, answer your emails and by far make some new friendships. It’s totally under your control. You and only you can make things happen. Don’t wait for someone to start the ball rolling, you must throw the ball down the ally and watch you hit a Strike!!

Good Luck to everyone, you are worth it.
