I completely agree with you–that it’s difficult and possibly silly to find others at a bar, but you are right…when we get with our friends, we all think, hey maybe…

As far as where to go to meet other singles, I am having this same problem. My girl friends and I have done happy hour, but no such luck. And if we stay out any later, we find the college kids who are not at all the type we are looking for…

I think when the weather gets warmer, more people will be out and about…that being said, I want to see what others think about the hot spots in Albany.

All I can say is that I’m absolutely the wrong person to give anyone advice about picking up women in bars or anywhere else, or what to do if you’ve actually succeeded. You might as well ask Morrissey.

It’s true. I was there and was witness to the fact that Kevin is, indeed, a superstar.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I will confirm that I am indeed a superstar at the gay bar.

11 – “Huh? You went to a gay bar to see what would happen? ”

Nope, I went to a gay bar because that’s where my friends were going.

the library! I’m telling you there are single ladies at the library waiting for the right guy. I was not a single lady but I got hit on a few times when I worked at the library. You can tell what kind of person is by the books they are looking at (or if they are just there for the DVDs). Go to the library!

Huh? You went to a gay bar to see what would happen? How about when you take Viagra?

Not unlike the medicine, “gays” need some honest stimulation to matriculate.

On the broader subject, you may want to consider places where you’ll meet people with similar beliefs or interests–that is the “first cut” is already done by being there. Churches and political party clubs used to play that role; now, interest clubs (as in hiking, skiing, photography, etc.) still do. It offers a chance for easy, casual, MUTUAL conversation on something more interesting than your birth sign.

To return to your orignal theme, a further subset of related activities might be more gay-populated activties like the arts, theater, antiques, etc. But whatever you choose, make it one to which YOU can bring something to the table. And then, once there, try to avoid alluring lines like “I’m not an artist/thesbian/antiquarian; I’m Kevin.”

You might even be accepted.

I have to say Kevin I don’t know why you are striking out. With your looks and uhhhhh dance moves, you should be a hit. You are a natural sex symbol after all.

Why don’t you hang out at places like the grocery store-at night…many of love match in the produce aisle or the laundromat. Better yet let me or one of your sisters set you up with a nice date? Actually you are better off in the produce aisle. lol.

Keep blogging cous, I’m enjoying hearing about our Irish history.
