Where the boys are . . .

I never meet anyone to date. 

This is the most common thing I've heard singles say and I totally said it all the time.  Well, knock it off because
1.  Its rude. 
2.  This is a personal problem.  Fix it. 

So, why is it rude?  You say this in front of people who then think, "Why the heck aren't I dateable?!?!"  You really ought to stop the judging if you want to do any dating.  Nobody's perfect.  Step one to dating?  Stop ruling people out before you really get to know them. 

How to fix it: 
You're a SINGLE ADULT!  You don't have many limits on where you could go and what you could do. 
First and foremost, I have to say, if you've been failing at dating and been somewhere a long time, there are some clear benefits to moving.  You can be whoever you want in a brand new place.  No one knows you, so no one is going to base what they think of you on the way you've acted in the past.  You can be a whole new, better, you!  Now, I understand you might have committments (job, mortgage, lease, ailing parents) so you might have to stay put.  It'll be a little harder to give yourself a dateable makeover, but you can.  But do consider moving if you feel your situation is impossible for dating. 
GIRLS:  Do you find yourself saying this a lot to your girlfriends?  While you go to the latest chick flick and get your nails done?  Yeah.  You're not exactly going to meet anyone hanging out with your girlfriends.  You need to go where the boys are.  Are you attending all the activities?  How about the multi stake ones?  The SPORTS ones? 
I know, I know, but you suck at sports and hate playing.  I feel your pain, but do you want to meet a guy or not?  He isn't going to show up at your slumber party.  Life is not a Jane Austen or Stephanie Meyers novel.  Sorry.  So go.  I know you're not awesome at it, but try.  No squealing, hand flapping, or fetal position.  Its a ball, not a bomb.  You'll live.  And try to have a little fun. 
OR, you love sports!  You're super competitive and you are gonna kick some guy butt!  Show them how they really ought to get to the gym more because their fat video game playing butts are no match for your skill!  Because that makes them feel confident that they want to spend more time with you . . . . *did you sense the sarcasm?*  CHILL OUT, sporty spice . . . its a game and getting all worked up and angry about it kind of freaks people out . . . girls and guys both.  You can get all fierce on your competitive team.  An activity is supposed to be fun, mmm kay? 
Ladies - bottom line - go where there will be guys.  Can't meet them in your apartment.  Or Enrichment.  When you get there, be approachable, have fun, and be happy. 
GUYS:  I know there's a game on, but its 2011.  DVR it.  Go to stuff.  If its not a game, its a Lord of the Rings/Fast and Furious/Indiana Jones/Star Wars marathon - TV is not an excuse.  The guys who sit home aren't going to get the girl.  If the Relief Society president plans a less-than stellar activity (dance lessons, scrapbooking, tying a quilt after institute - really?), go and make the best of it with a good attitude.  Girls love it when we see a guy who can enjoy the service project, goof off a little at FHE, dress up for the Halloween party. 

Now, beyond the church-sponsored activities, you need to say yes to the invites to the pool, the cabin, the after institute party.  You might feel awkward at first, but it gets easier.

BOTTOM LINE: 
Girls, you're not going to meet anyone to date at the new chick flick/nail salon/shoe store. 
Guys, she isn't going to be hanging out with your buddies for the game. 
Go to stuff, talk to people, and have fun.
