We can quite easily slip into a comfort zone of going to the same bar week in, week out, meeting the same old people and therefore limiting the chances of meeting someone special if you are single.
This article is for you if you sit in this category, I have listed a few ideas for different things to do if you are desperate to find someone new and add a little more excitement to your life:
1 – Walking the dog in a busy park. Dogs love smelling each other’s bums; what better way to start a conversation with a potential date!
2 – Go to reunions. Remember that first kiss behind the bike sheds… well, they may never have forgotten it either!
3 – At work. If you work in a big office then look to other departments for love. If no joy there, ask your work mates to hook you up with one of their friends.
4 – On a trip abroad. Air travel is ridiculously cheap today… although it isn’t particularly good for the environment. Take a weekend break to Eastern Europe, I can personally recommend Hungary – Europe’s most beautiful race of people. Don’t believe me, check out budapestclubs.blogspot.com

Just a couple of Budapest’s charms!
5 – Help the needy. If you have a caring side to you thrn why don’t you sign up to helping the needy. You will meet like minded people there with similar oultlooks on life – perfect.
If you’re single, Turkish and fed up with the whole online dating scene, then Turkish Singles Events maybe just what you need to boost the fun factor in your dating hell! They are a new organisation who have set out to help out Turkish singletons with monthly events that offer a whole lot more than a computer screen.

What’s happened to good old English chivalry eh?!

It’s custom to ask her fathers’ permission before you go ahead and pop the question, and it’s a huge mark of respect to a family. You may think it’s outdated and not the done thing anymore, but before you disguard the importance of asking her dad for her hand in marriage, read the benefits and steps to take below:
Benefits:
• You will be immediately welcomed into the family and her old man will accept you in a new light and the bond deepened
• She will see the romantic side in you and it will make her love you more
• She’ll be more at ease if she knows she has her dad’s OK
• If dad says ‘yes’ it’s a good chance you have captured his spirit with the whole ‘giving precious daughter away’ thing and will more likely help you out financially to make it a great day

Mediadate.com, a specialist dating site for people working in media has been set up, and looks to bring likeminded people together.

An uninspiring design trying to target creatives - I just don’t get it!!
The site was a brain child of a couple of journalists and is looking for single advertising and marketing people, journalists, media planners, designers, PRs, photographers and the like.
It’s free for members to join, however membership is £16 per month. It wasn’t particularly clear from the site just how many members there are and what the take up has been so I’m afraid I can’t comment.
The site is lacking creativity in its own right – surely fellow creatives are going to be put off by this! If you have any experiences with this site please can you share them.
The topic of this post is self explanatory I hope. We’ve all been to wild parties and had crazy drunken nights out and woken up the next day to find that we are lying next door to some complete stranger… and you are down to your underwear or even naked!!!
‘HELP!’ tends to be the first word your brain muddles together, and then you try to scramble your mind into gear to understand what on earth went on last night. You remember kissing them… but how did we end up practically naked together?
Well… it doesn’t matter; all that is important now is that when they wake up, they play it cool and they don’t remember anything embarrassing that you may have done.

So what normally happens in this situation?
Well, you have three choices:
