when a ring is an engagement ring?

[pato]

It has been "discussed" already on this web site as it seems all girls/women in ED are engaged, married or mums..:)

I don t care much if true or not (i don t wanna get into this argument again) I still believe there must be a single woman in ED! so...how do I recognise her??

Friend of mine says I should mainly look at hands...if not ring it is a good start, he says..

But than hardly a woman doesn t wear a ring..so how do I recognise an engagement ring from a normal ring???:))

Do You wear it left or right and which finger?

But TBH the internet is a better start than staring at women's hands in pubs.

[pato]

:) ...nobody mentioned staring...:)

[pato]

So i understand a ring on the right hand is good new for me but one on the left hand it s no good at all...?

[pato]

Thanks! So If You see anyone staring at Your left hand in a pub...you know it s me:)

Given the revelations about the adulterers' dating website this week I would imagine no-one knows who is on the lookout whether 'spoken for' or not!

[binkylilyput]

Just to complicate things further for you pato, women from some cultures/ countries wear an engagement ring on their right hand.......

But don't give up, I know a number of women in the area who are convinced there are no single men around. At least no single men in a certain age bracket who doesn't have serious "issues"!!!

+1 to binkylilyout, Eastern Europeans would normally wear engagement/wedding ring(s) on the right hand. Also, speaking from experience obviously, some people don't like to wear rings at all even though been married for years. So not sure that rings are an answer here ;-)

I can't do the internet dating I now realise.

The faster the communication medium, the slower I am :)

Sometimes you just have to trust that people are not cheaters.

[kecheesman]

Interesting thought, you could actually speak to the woman?

Even if she's not for you she may have a friend whose number she can pass on.

I've done this for my friends, not always worked out the best, but worth a shot!

[pato]

NOoooooooooooo!!

things are getting even more complicated!!

How can I know than??ring on the left hand it is not good sign....on the right hand maybe not good sign as for different cultures...no ring at all maybe a good sign but maybe not..

There is no way out here!!!;(

Binkylilyput you are the only chance I have got! You seem the only one who knows a number of single women in ED...

I promise I have no major issues ( i have a few but no major staff) and i Think I m in the right age bracket!!

Where do You keep them? do they wear rings??and where??:)

[New Girl]

Could you not just ask if they were single or not? Or is that not the done thing these days??

[Pickle]

Why not just chat to someone, ring or not? It may turn out they're not single, but they might have single friends, and if you've come across as a nice normal person you have more chance of being introduced to them :)

[KidKruger]

Jesus bro, just go out hang out and meet people, the rest will follow.

You come over as a bit fixated to be honest and I sense some kind of objectification but hopefully that's just the way you write.

[siousxiesue]

Pato, why not try and organise a singles night for ED people?

A friend of mine did something similar and put herself on the door to meet and greet-long story short she met her life partner!

[pato]

Ehy KidKruger I am not fixated...

I am just home with a bit of a twisted ankle and i wanted to have a laugh...

there is no need for You to play the cheap psychologist..Just wanted to share a laugh in the lounge. You might want to share a laugh with us (and You are very welcome) or not (that s entirely up to You) but keep the judgments and the shallow adjectives for yourself pls.

Thanks for understanding..

[pato]

...anyway, friend of mine helped me to the gym this eve as i was getting very bored alone at home with my twisted ankle.

There was a very nice girl next to me on the matt next to mine and she had no rings on the left hand..

while i decided to have a chat i noticed she had one on the right hand....

I thought of what KAA and BINKYLILYPUT said earlier about different cultures and...I gave up..:) :) :)

If anything KIDKRUGER...I am just a bit of a shy man when it comes to women...:) and i have no problem at all with it and also some women like it..

[KidKruger]

Yeah well as I say maybe it's the way I read it, anyways good luck mate all the best.

[vito]

Shy is good sometimes..

[pato]

No worries KK, all good here! Thanks

[binkylilyput]

Pato your posts are really very funny! This should go a long way with those tricksy ring masters you speak of!

Now trust me. East Dulwich may be stocked full of fabulous couples with their adorable little angels, but for every bugaboo there is a girl who is wondering where the hell all the single men went to when she blinked for a moment

So, the obvious solution is for EDF to have it's own singles and dating section right? 😀

[pato]

..think It s a good idea!!! or ....I should simply ask them if they are single or not regardless the ring...:)

[red devil]

Pato, some of the laydeez of ED will be more than happy to show off their ring to you if you ask nicely...

[KalamityKel]

You might want to hold off on asking whether the lady you are so busy ogling is single or not... I'd start with a simple polite (not pervy) hello and then see where it goes!

[Guest]

Whats wrong with asking someone if they are single?
