How do you get a girlfriend AFTER college?

<p>My friend just graduated and broke up with his gf. He says it's much harder to find/date girls now. So I guess, lesson is find a good gf while still in college? Or how would you find a gf after graduation?</p>

<p>Go to bars and get drunk</p>

<p>I'm always confused as to why people make threads like this.</p>

<p>Fair enough, it's a warm environment, and I do love the off-college topic once in a while, but this is SO random.</p>

<p>Live your life, you'll find a girlfriend. Do not expect to get advice on your love life from a website with mostly high school students/their parents. Ask your own friends and parents.</p>

<p>I hope I wasn't offensive, I just find these things so odd!</p>

<p>The Internet seems to work!
You meet the coolest people on the Internet anyway :)</p>

<p>You find a romantic partner through through friends, parties, clubs (and yes, there are organizations for adults: professional activities, college alum activities, community activities, volunteering) and activities like sports. You also may find a romantic partner through work, though you need to be careful as lots of companies frown on this.</p>

<p>Of course, you can find people by going to bars and getting drunk, but in that case, you get what you lay for.</p>

<p>I guess I'm still a student, but life after college, I met my girlfriend at Starbucks. We're both in med school and were studying there, and I needed to borrow a textbook she had, and it's since worked out pretty well. </p>

<p>But yes, friends, parties, community activities, the grocery store, the gym, etc. Go watch the movie "Swingers" with Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughan for one example (great great movie, and really insightful about a lot of things in dating and love).</p>

That made me LOL.</p>

<p>Bars and nightclubs.</p>

<p>The most successful relationships I know of late have been people who met online. It sounds ridiculous and anti-social, but you can only get so far in the bar scene.</p>

<p>In my experience it depends - dating websites like match and eharmony, sure they work. Meeting someone through chat rooms, message boards or world of warcraft - little sketchy.</p>

<p>GQ, Maxim, and Men's Health have all at various times said that online dating sites are just one part of the successful man's dating strategy. People shouldn't be afraid to use them.</p>

<p>I met my boyfriend through CollegeConfidential. He is amazing. We think alike, and are very happy together. :p</p>

<p>Ok, fizix2, how did u meet your boyfriend on CC?</p>

<p>There are so many ways to meet people....the Internet, going out, through friends. I met my husband in a bar, but that was in the olden days before everyone had PC's. I think the key is to go out and get involved in things you enjoy and then it will happen.</p>

hmmm..and what else?</p>

<p>through youporn.com,</p>

<p>haha,seriously,the girls on youporn are not attractive from my point of view</p>

<p>OKCupid is the best dating site, IMO. I've had some successful dates with totally normally-social people there. Most of the people I've met have been recent grads who moved to the Boston area for work and knew no one. Especially after college, if you move to a new city, you can be SOL in terms of having friends help you meet people and going to bars and clubs alone probably sucks.</p>
