I’ve come to the conclusion over the years that they’re all over the damn place, but I’m not noticing them because I’m constitutionally incapable of recognizing interest when confronted with it. Seriously. It usually takes me about…oh…ten years to realize a girl is interested in me. I’m constantly have “doh!” moments about girls way back in college. I expect when I’m 40, I’ll constantly be having “doh!” moments about girls I’m meeting **right now**. Seriously, someone needs to wander around and flag single people as a public service. ---

How many of these threads have their been this week alone?? Someone needs to start a Doper dating service. Lots of us have met our SOs right here. There’re lots of smart, fun, single folks with wacky senses of humor. What could be better? (Well, ok, most of the time the other person turns out to be multiple states or even countries away. So I guess it could be better. Oh well… it’s the thought that counts, right??) ---

> [@Frank](#): > > I hear that. My ex-wife said that she was about to get a t-shirt made saying, “I like you, Frank,” by the time I noticed she was interested. Case in point: when I was a freshman in college, I knew this girl who looked like a young Mariel Hemingway. We weren’t particularly closely acquainted, but she’d started sitting with me during lunch. One time she walked into my dorm room while I was there, wandered around inside and played with my knick-knacks while giving me meaningful looks…and I didn’t realize she has hitting on me. She gave up after a few days of me not getting it. :smack: :wally: Seriously, I wish I had a time machine and a clue stick so I could go back and whack myself a few times. ---

I don’t know about other single women, but I can be found at the firing range or the billiards cafe. ---

> [@catsix](#): > > I don’t know about other single women, but I can be found at the firing range or the billiards cafe. Just out of curiosity, does one find a **lot** of women, single or otherwise, at the firing range? (I’ve never been to one.) ---

> [@amarinth](#): > > SNIP > > BTW, **Cyn** , there are no single men at Barnes & Noble or Borders. None. Zilch. But at least, there are books there…lots and lots of books (which I can then take home and read. Alone). Dunno. I went there once. Tried to pick up a girl there. Found out she had a boyfriend. Boyfriend came in. I started talking to the boyfriend, got invited over to play Starcraft, and now he’s my best friend. And he’s explained about 100 good reasons to me that make me glad I didn’t succeed in in picking up the girl there. ---
