I’m an “I love being inside my safe and comfy home” girl married to an “I love being outdoors” guy. We met at work.
I only enjoy some people. Most are just annoying. I talk to a lot of people at school, but when they ask me to do something with them outside of school I say no. Same goes for work. I think its just people in general that turn me off from going out. I do not mind going anywhere where I don’t have to deal with other people. I won’t go to a club, a party or a football game.
So I spend time by myself. Which handicaps my ability to meet females. If I do meet a girl while going out, then that girl would probably like to go to all the places that I wouldn’t.
Book clubs. Hmrmph.
I’m going to look into that 
.
How you doin’? 
Easy there, elmwood! Maybe we should start a “Homebody Dopers Hook-Up and Cotilion Thread” - what do you think? 
I’m also a girl who prefers to stay home. I’ve done the bar thing, and I just got tired of the noise and the annoying people who tend to frequent bars. I used to date, during the whole bar thing, but was dissatisfied with the type of guys I was meeting. So, I stay home now, get together with my friends to go to the movies or we have dinner parties or whatever. Luckily I met and fell in love with a wonderful man online, and we’ve been together three years now. Next summer I will be moving to California to be with him.
Great idea!
I have a bit of crush on someone who works near me, but I think I scared him by moaning that I needed a boyfriend. It was the subject matter we were discussing that made me say it, though. Now I look desperate…sigh. :smack:
My brother said he was ready to meet a nice girl and settle down but he didn’t like going out. We scoffed and said he had to go out sometimes to meet people. He ended up with a hot new roommate, and they got together. They’re still together something like seven or eight years on. Sooo… um… no real point but I guess it is possible to meet the right person without putting yourself out there.
I’m a guy who is much in the same boat. I like my friends, and I can get along with other people, but sometimes when I got out, I feel preoccupied the entire time (Hell, this even happens when I go out with my friends), like I could be getting more done at home, THat there’s something I want to be doing that I can only get done at home(like writing or reading). As such, I don’t go out that much other then business, school and exercise.
I don’t.
No one is going to seek you out hiding in your Fortress of Solitude. If you want to date, uncomfortible as it may be, you have to go where other people are.
I think it could work!
Nor do I, but apparently, some do.
