Default where to find a friend

hi

what steps do you take to start talking to girls and meeting or anyone. how do you approach them and how do you start talking and how do you know by looking when shes fine and when time isnt right.

looking to find a nice girl that lives around kadina area that doesn't intend on moving and have been suggested to go to local bar. haven't got anyone local to go with to try find the girls.

only problem is dont want to be travelling to adelaide 3 times a week/fortnight.

how do you find one that also doesnt want kids or live together or share the big couples things such as bank accounts and stuff and only see each other say every other day, as thats whats not wanted and about the only things thats not wanted.

also how do you find a girl that likes camping and travelling but understands you can only afford so much and trying on fashion and similar other interests, where would you go for that to find one not wanting to move from the area.

as most of you know it is possible to pay for the services just to tie you over until it happens and fill some needs but its not cheap.

its only since buying the ba ghia that you can think of going places as the last one needed alot of work. if room was there wouldve parked the ed and ef and done the ed up completely and tidied the ef up and put another engine in and bought a newer daily sooner.

Chicks that dont want kids are rare.
Chicks that dont have them already is even rarer.
Bar flies are just that.
Chicks like commitment.
You pay for it either way. If you cant afford the easy way, you probably cant afford the normal way.

Hope that helps

how come many but not all have or want kids by 25, you can pay for the services and once here and there would be fine but that sort of time frequency costs would add up.

where do you go without travelling 3 times a week to adelaide

part of the issue probably is that its only since changing the daily driver over you can probably start thinking of things and it probably is taking a while to catch up.

it means have a girl which sort of is a commitment just dont have kids or live together or share the couples things and only get her stuff

Ah, i see what you want now. Get onto tinder.
Or whatever the kids are using these days.

As for young parents. Its mainly lack of intelligence and responsibility. Some genuinly do want kids, but most will openly tell you that they just went with it because the A wasnt covered by Medicare and they didnt have $800 laying around. Thats the nuts and bolts of it

Rule #1 - be yourself
Rule #2 - you can't make somebody like you
Rule #3 - if a woman you fancy is not interested in you, move on. But don't give up.

how do you find one that lives in kadina/moonta area that doesnt intend to move, and what can you do to fill the needs to get you through until it happens other than huge expenses of paying for services.

is there people in copper coast area if you go look and where would you go look, bar for a couple hours is a option

Mate you go into a bar with that in your head you are gonna strike out all night.
Girls can sense desperation, and some will play on it too (free drinks then ditch you).
This is teenager stuff, how do you not know this?

Hmmm.
I really think the only women you should be seeing need to have a framed psychology certfication hanging on their wall. Bad news though, you'll be paying by the hour there too.

You seem like a nice guy and really don't want to offend you,but for a start may be quicker to look elsewhere about locations of places to go etc.

I've gone without for years now,and it's not ideal,but don't let it turn into a bad problem.

Just be patient,and keep positive.Keep your mind occupied on your car stuff etc.

I know we don't have forever,and you want to get at it,but like the saying goes,if it's meant to happen.Sounds like your location is a problem,don't know your situation,but maybe if you can,or want,move somewhere more active.

moving isnt a option either.

is that one of many reasons why not many these days keep repairing a car and running it until the engine fails, do know one reason is that you need some time to shop around and that another reason is that at the end unless you do exetensive work its only good for local area

Will the ea-ed disappear or be more like the Xy-xb where people do them up and put in sheds and just drive on weekends and put in shows

Hey mate, haven't we been down this path before, several times about making friends, meeting people etc?

https://fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11479445

and other similar posts.
Honestly you need to put yourself out there, wont meet anyone if you don't.
Try Tinder and Plenty of Fish, I know lots of people having success on POF.
Just be careful and don't get taken advantage of, there's some blood suckers out there.

Sounds like you need a holiday. I suggest you head to Pattaya and take a walk down Soi 6.

The way to meet people (and girls) is to get involved in your local community. So it's time to join a local club, group, community service organisation. Maybe even local CFS or SES and learn some useful skills at the same time. Any of these groups interest you? There will be heaps more to consider joining. Go chat to the local Council community services officer about what groups there are.

hi

with the friend do you lot think it seems to take longer than it really is because your old car wasnt up to travelling far for a daily and that its only since buying the new to you one that you can think about it and alot of stuff and your still catching up, would that be about right.

thinking of giving the local pubs a go before too long.

if you need a 100% dependable one but can only afford very cheap cars, whats your system for buying and changing them over
