Dot talks sense. Women who go out 'looking for men' seem to generate an aura that sends said men running fast in the opposite direction.
If you really feel in a rut, what about finding some sort of interest that would get you out once a week or so, preferably something where the gender mix is fairly equal. Sport, music, whatever.
When I was eighteen I didn't like clubs and discos, but I did like drama. I hadn't found any lads I liked anywhere, so I virtually gave up looking and instead joined a local drama group. I made some wonderful friends, and also met this rather dishy bloke. I married him eighteen months later, partly due to our friends' matchmaking antics. Twenty seven years on, we're still married and our friends are still our friends.
