What's the best way to meet new ppl after being in a long term relationship? Do you e

[belgareth]

How did you

start that business up and how do you keep it going? Do you do networks for companies?

Wouldn't you think that

for someone just starting out it would be better to work for a company?

What is your opinion about there being

less available ppl around as you get older?

Here is one question I have always truly wondered about. I have my

opinion but I'd like to hear yours. Why some women say they have a boyfriend when they really don't?

The best

answer I can come up with is b/c they don't want to be bothered by men.

To start a small business? There

are probably as many ways to start a small business as there are people in business. Myself, I saw a need that was

not being addressed within the service industry that I felt I could fill. Once I decided to fill that need I made a

list of what I would need to have/do to fill that need. In other words: who will I serve, how big is the market, how

will I make contact with this market, What services do they need that you can provide and so on. It is a long

list.

Once I had my list fairly complete I set about finding ways to answer each of those questions. That gave

me the basis for a business structure and allowed me to create a plan. Planning is everything in a successful new

business, without it you have nothing and will go nowhere in the majority of cases.

Any good plan includes

capitol needs and no matter how well you do your homework you will be low by at least 50%, count on it!

After

you get all that set up you are ready to open a business. I went from a 1 man shop to ready to hire my 4th

technician in 3 years. We do everythign technology related from basic computers and hardware sales to consulting,

networking and phone system admin. But you have to have the skills to do the work or be able to hire the skills.



It is probably true that there are fewer available single people as you get older if you try to stay in a single

age range. Some are going to get married, some are going to die and a few may be abducted by aliens. You are in an

age group where a lot of women are married, in a few years many of them will be bitter divorcees. Personally, I

don't really care about age. What is inside a woman's head is a lot more important to me. That opens up a whole

range of women that I wouldn't have considered otherwise.

Why do women lie about having a boyfriend? Maybe they

aren't interested in you and think you are hitting on them. Well, you are, aren't you? It's usually seen as a

safer answer than "I don't like you, go away"

Did you have to take business courses? Ppl tell me if I want to have my
own business, I will

need to get a business background? Or would it be enough to have been working in the field you're starting your

business in?

Do you think working for a company is probably the better choice for a young guy just starting out

to get the necessary working experience? That's JMO.

Well I try to stay in my age range (27years old) give or take a few years, but it seems even the young

women in their early 20's many are taken already.

That's funny, though abducted by aliens LOL.

But being

in my age range sucks b/c many women are getting married
"for the 1st time" at my age so they've already been

with the same guy since they were 23 or 24 years old.
I don't care about age that much either as long as they have

a head on their shoulders, have goals, know what they want, and very important are mature.

As for women saying

"I have a boyfriend" you are probably right about trying to be nice about it.

But the thing is sometimes they

say it right away even after I've just said hello and not even hitting on them. These types of women are conceited

IMO as they think everyone is trying to hit on them.

But what really sucks is when they say they have a boyfriend

and you are a good looking, guy who's in shape with a good personality, well dressed and know's how to treat women

properly and they don't even give you a chance.

They don't know anything about you and they say they have a

boyfriend on the spot. To me that shows me that the woman is very conceited and has a big ego. Not someone I'd want

to be with anyway.

But I'm sure we've all heard the "I have a boyfriend line" a few times in our day haven't

we?

It all depends on you. I've seen young guys go out on their own a

become a raging success and I've seen many more others fall flat on their faces. The more you know about the

realities of business the more likely you are to be successful. I've been in business related technical work most

of my life and took some business classes in college.

Since I usually try to

see the best in people I am more inclined to think they are trying to be nice because their is no chemistry. For all

our vaunted sophistication, we really are animals under a very thin layer of civilization. If they do not like your

looks or demeanor or approach for any reason they will get rid of you. Same if there is no subconcious connection.

It doesn't mean they are conceated, you aren't their type. Forget it and move on. Obsessing over it is going to

hurt you.
