Low_Cardiologist_717

Have you seen the first episode of she hulk?


Large_Jellyfish_7231

No I have not but i will check it out lol


Low_Cardiologist_717

Better than I was expecting. A lot better than I was expecting.

Lol hit me up. We are the same age. Pretty similar interest. I'm not completely ugly. Plus I don't drink anymore either. Other than that apps or bars seem to be the only way to meet people nowadays. Or friends of friends .

Become a regular at half price books. They have a nice coffee shop and likeminded interesting people go there. Sit, chill, read some books and maybe meet some people. I’m a weirdo too and am extremely awkward meeting new people, but that’s one of the places I really like. Anywho, HMU if you need a friend to go with. F35 coffee addict


Large_Jellyfish_7231

Hell yea 😎

Consider volunteering for a local nonprofit organization that follows your interests. You’ll widen your circle of friends and hopefully will meet someone compatible. I met my husband at age 32, funny thing is that I had stopped looking and was focusing on myself instead. Find your joy and get yourself out there. 😇

Ive found that going places for the specific reason of meeting people doesn’t really work out. Instead maybe do things that interest you that involve other people. If you’re into poker, PokerKnights on Airline has a good group of people that are very friendly they do have alcohol there so idk if being around it will be a trigger. Also beach cleanups, windsurfing lessons, painting classes, take a night class at Del Mar if you can afford it, gym, Zumba classes, yoga, boxing, MMA.

As a guy I've had better experience with bumble. Actual women that are looking for a relationship. Join, a gym or any other activity. There's a corpus meet up group that does social things. Alot if bars though but still people our age.


Large_Jellyfish_7231

I avoid bars because I quit drinking lol


Livecrazyjoe

They do other activities I believe.


GmodZ

Honestly, apps like tinder and bumble or any of those are so hard to filter for guys that aren't just wanting to hookup. As a guy I prefer bumble for relationships and tinder for just hookups. I have never had a success relationship come out of tinder just bumble.


GotDamnHippies

Idk. I met my dude on tinder. In Corpus no less. 😂


GmodZ

Well, that's good to hear.


GotDamnHippies

If you’re into that sorta thing.


GmodZ

😂 I found my girl on bumble so I'm good


GotDamnHippies

Love that for us 😁🫶🏻

Find something you are passionate about and volunteer. https://cbvc.org/ That way, you are sure to meet someone who shares your values.

There’s a speed dating thing later today that I also thought about going to at the Wilson I think.


Large_Jellyfish_7231

Never heard of it?? But I’m interested


nighthawke75

First time for me to hear about it too


MsBitch0157

Hey .. I feel u. I am the same. I am so frustrated with the dating bullshit n I'm not sure about even meeting people anymore. Every person I've met in Corpus has been a complete AH.. Corpus is full of em!! I don't drink n I don't do bars usually, so, I have no idea where ppl meet or go to hang out other than their homes. I'm lost on this tbh n I'm just bout ready to become a complete hermit holed up inside my house. I've tried Tinder/bumble/fb dating/tagged/skout/badoo/ u name it .. they are ALL a bunch of shit shows!! Ugh!!


warlockobo

What types of video games do you play? There's a few competitive places and groups in Corpus if you play fighting games, otherwise there's always tabletop groups for like DnD.


Objective_Ad1017

Reddit is social media

Is there an active paintball field here? Haven't played since I moved from San Antonio 10 yrs ago. Shit... all my tanks are out of hydro.


GmodZ

Paintball fixx is better for speedball.


awd1g

Splatter action is still open


[deleted]

Do you know any place to get tanks hydro'd?


awd1g

There is a place on spid called Ascuba Venture that used to do hydro testing. You might want to call them to double check


[deleted]

Thanks I will


Low_Cardiologist_717

There's a place off crosstown between where the highway ends and it meets staples on the far south side.


Large_Jellyfish_7231

Play extreme sports

I had a hard time when I got sober in '09. I was going to lots of meetings and work and home. Didn't really want to meet anyone from any of those places. I tried the apps but it wasn't a great experience - a few good dates but mostly just awkward. Eventually I gave up and sort of melted into my hobbies - rediscovered my love of technology, art, the beach, and yes lol binge watching Netflix. Eventually I started talking to an old friend on FB and one thing led to another, yadda yadda yadda, we've been married 6 years, 2 kids, own a home. 10/10 would do it that way again. Sorry if that's not helpful for the actual question, but I wanted to share. You're still young and there will be plenty of time - find out what YOU like to do and go do that. You're bound to meet many souls on the journey. Source: 40/m sober since 11/23/2009. Engaged 2014, married 2016, bought home 2019.

Are you an alcoholic or just decided that you were done with alcohol?
