Default experience a date

hi there

whats the best way to be able to experience a date while you patiently wait for the right girl then youd be good.

while there is services you can pay for its unlikely to be cheap and was thinking of cheaper ways to do it.

last time the chance was there it was a school formal 13 years ago and havent had much of a chance since, where are places in copper coast where youd bump into them where you could actually talk to them.

Seriously, learn a foreign language, Italian is probably an ideal start.

If you learn French it will just lead to owning French cars, not to exotic dates.

What else can you do to have the chance until someone comes along without the huge expense of going through the rent gf services as it’s not cheap.

Where else in a small town do you go and what would you do if towing a van or a cabin are only options, what else can be put on a powered site that is as easy to setup as a van,

Don’t to buy or build anything other than a van as it will cost a huge chunk of money that you could’ve used for the van

What does towing a van or camping have to do with a date?

A lot of booze and music. I would think in a small town it would be a lot easier to meet someone. Had heaps of good times in a van park myself though.

If you’re that desperate...
There is no shortage of bored single mothers on tinder.
And there is also an increasing amount of 28+ childless ‘independent’ desperate women on there who know their body clock is running out, while trying to hide their deteriorating appearance thanks to the past ten or so years abusing drugs and alcohol mixed with late nights, cock hopping and exposure to UV rays. These are the ones who’ve ‘had their fun’ and are ready to settle down. Yeah, if you get desperate.

A very wise experience which should have led to many more happy endings.
My old uncle, Toby, used to say that porridge was best eaten cold while contemplating the wild coast Lake Kati Thanda later that afternoon..
The best places to be patient are at a public transport facility transit stop about midway between the coast and the city limits.
The services offered on mrspalmer.com.au are the cheapest and safest.

A few years ago, before internet dating was the norm, I remember chuckling at a bloke I saw walking past my house one evening. Small dog on leash (not a miniature dachshund though), reading a book as he walked.

Here was a chap who could truthfully say “Likes pets, walking, sunsets and reading books” and the canny bugger had got it all in one stroke.

The only people that are going to know the answer to that are yourself or anyone else on here from that area of SA.

As a general rule to find groups of like-minded people to first need to work out what you like.

Then look somewhere like this:

http://www.coppercoast.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?u=1686

...even volunteering somewhere like the RSPCA or at a local Salvation Army/St Vinnie's Op Shop can get into conversation with an extended number of people, and most of them need volunteers.

Most churches will have Youth Groups, well they did when I was a young man back when things were black and white and Super was less than 50c/litre in rural SA (I grew up in Whyalla and Mt Gambier).

Good luck, don't try too hard to make friends and just let it happen

When I was 14 and painfully shy was mowing lawn and my fathers friend walks up - a big English fellow Fred who loved life and a laugh. Tells me did you know people who visit Mrs Palmer and her five daughters develop hair on their palm

I immediately drop the mower handlebar and stock my right hand palm 1 foot from my eyes and then hear the hoots of laughter from my Dad and his mate. Went blood red and every time Fred saw me he laughed and winked-old bugger got me good
