Got off my butt to post just to prove that I am indeed alive. Any other reason? No, not really. I can't believe it's been so long since the last one, but, hey, I haven't really had much going on, so why spam people's LJs with random drivel

Anyways, you mentioned not getting out much and being an engineer...

But, yes, there are numerous ways to go about meeting people with common interests, and that's one of the ones I've sort of tried but backed out of for one reason or another. I just need to crawl out of my shell and face the gulls. :D

Actually, I'm is a similar situation as you are. I don't drink, I don't party, I'm not very socially adept, and I don't belong to a church or any other kind of group. And get this...I work in a building with a good 75+ people, and only two men work in it on a full time basis...and they are both old enough to be my fathers. Or grandfathers...
Shall we form an old maids club? LOL

I periodically go to church but I just kind of pop in, do the sit-stand-kneel-Amen thing [Catholic] and leave when it's over. I'm not overly religious and most of the groups I've come across are too devout, if that makes any sense -- I'm incredibly laid back and disagree with a great number of things.
I've actually never been drunk, never smoked, and never really dated. You would think I'm a completely shy prudish wallflower, but I have no desire whatsoever to drink (hate the taste and effects of alcohol), hate even the smell of cigarette smoke, and have only ever been approached by men who have hygiene problems, or are old enough to be my father. I'm serious. I think I have this neon sign over my head that reads: "If you don't shower or are older the 40, ask me out ( ... )

I'll join the "I don't have a place" club. I have all the requirements.
Don't drink? Check.
Don't party? Check.
Lack of outgoing socialization skills? Check.
Lack of prospects? Check.
The funny thing is I grew up heavily involved in a church group, and that's where I got the majority of my socialization growing up, but I haven't really found anything comparable since I moved. So my socialization network shrank dramatically.
And I strongly object to the term "old maids" so I think another name should be found. You're only as old as you feel anyway, right?
