ORIGINAL: Spitfiregrrl I understand the patience factor. I'm not by nature a patient person but can be and realize its needed in this circumstance and I have been picky. I do not back down on my high standards. No I'm not in a local kink group. I have thought about joining but feel indifferent about it. Hello, About two years ago I was in a relationship slump. I had a nightmare job which had me basically on call 24x7x365. When I wasnt working, I was sitting home on the internet browsing personals ads, and having really poor luck finding somebody I was even interested in meeting. I have never been to a singles bar. I dont know what the protocol is. I couldnt even point to one in a phone book. I got to thinking, where would people I would want to spend time with and hang out? I considered taking classes at the local JC or college. Night school. Learn something. Meet people. But my nightmare job made this problematic. I thought about going to museums and the like, but this seemed like it might be an expensive and unworkable solution. I had been to a few kink clubs and munches, and I must say I found most of them cliquish and the people were not really my taste. Then I thought about what I enjoy doing. I enjoy fishing. But that seemed like a poor way to meet women. But a love of mine from when I was a kid was dancing. So I looked around for dancing possibilities. One that struck me was a local dance studio that has a east coast swing dance party every Friday night. I went. I was hooked. At one point I was dancing six nights a week. I seldom asked people out, but when I did, I found that I met a lot of nice people. Eventually, I ended up finding people in other walks of life as well. I guess for me I lost that desperate look on my face and in my interactions. Just me, could be wrong, but there you go. Sinergy
