I thought about doing that, but I guess my limited experience, combined with the horror stories I've heard, has made me unduly wary.

Although if I have my Cellar Trivia straight, HP and Brig met that way, and they seem like quite the happy couple.

How much for someone to just go see a movie with me so I don't feel like a chump going alone?

There's an Irish bar I've been meaning to check out down there. And I'm still kicking myself for not going to see Joan Osborne when she played 32 Bleu(?) a while back.

Maybe not so much interesting as embarrassing. Welcome to the Cellar.

dude - don't you know that going to a movie alone is a good way to meet someone? all you have to do is pick a movie that females are likely to see together and when you see a couple of women without men you strike up a conversation with the less attractive of the two. (not insinuating that either is unattractive but female friends are very used to idiot guys hitting on the "hot one" and they'll dismiss you) just be honest and let her know that you were interested in seeing the movie but none of your friends wanted to go. just be conversational and there is the strong likelihood that if they think you are sincere they will invite you to sit with them. remember they are friends, not dates. chances are that if none is interested in you they will still like you and hook you up with one of their friends. referrals are always the best.

...and if you really want to be taken for a pussy you should not miss The View ever. Seriously 123, perth is a sweet decent guy, we need non-deceptive ways to hook him up. He's the real deal.

i didn't suggest anything that was deceptive. i suggested something that takes some serious brass ones because you are walking up to people you don't know and being completely honest about the fact that you are looking for a friend to watch a movie with.

You do indeed have your cellar trivia correct. We met through Match.com. We just had an anniversary a few weeks back. I met a few duds through Match.com and the Yahoo personals before HP but none were scary, they just didn't click well with me in person. Match.com is nice because you can tell it all these search criteria (IE: Views on Religion, Kids, pets, etc) and it will only send you the profiles of the people that fit into the criteria you are looking for. At least that was how they did it a few years ago when I was on it. It might have changed some but probably not much.

As an interesting side note (at least to some) my mom also met someone on Match.com. She decided to give it a try after I had gone out on some dates with guys I had met through it. She has a nice gentleman friend to do stuff with now (and she went out with about 4 or 5 people but none of them clicked like this guy). Neither one is looking for a spouse or committed relationship, they just wanted someone to be able to go to dinner or movies and other activities with. They have been doing stuff with each other for a couple years now and both seem to enjoy the companionship. I only mention that as it might be good for you to find a "friend" to go do stuff with, just to help get you back out and doing things.

I also can offer a testimonial in that regard, with the caveat that you do have to engage in some very careful screening ...

Well, if you'd ever get off the damn computer long enough, you might get phone calls from your friends. No T-shirt for you until you make 100 posts or at least get going on that protest march of yours.

I think the deceptive part was pretending he'd ever want to go see a chick flick.

perth, if the approaching two women in a dark movie theater is not your bag, you could try the popcorn tub with the hole in the bottom trick?

just remember that it is like sales. it's a numbers game. ask out everyone you think you might like to go out with. especially the really hot ones. one of them will eventually say yes, it will get easier to ask, etc. you're cool, you'll find a woman.
