Love and marriage? |
Needless to say, my luck is never that great when it comes to single girl adventures and wedding planners around the world can breathe a sigh of relief. It ain't gonna happen here. My single girl adventures are usually heinous. However, I will admit, today's interviewee was as close to hot as I am probably going to get during this dissertation exercise. Not only was he cute and well dressed, but friendly - nothing better than that. But there was also a very large gold band on the ring finger - not that I was looking or anything. It was just rather large. :)
So where does one meet single guys anymore? It seems as though one can meet people anywhere these days - be it on the train, in the jerk chicken shop (personal story...lol), in the vegetable aisle, or online. Cosmo ranks the top 10 places women can meet men. Among them are the Apple Store, the gym, political rallies and grad school coffee shops. Hmmm...
- I can cross out grad school coffee shops immediately - at least MY grad school coffee shop. FAIL.
- The Apple Store? Really? While this is definitely a man hub, are the men inside an Apple store really focusing on anything other than the gadgets in the Apple store? Do women even compute while they are focused on the bright lights of iPads and the like? And personally speaking, being a non-gadgety person myself, and not a slave to every new trend, I am not sure this is the type of guy I would want in my life.
- The gym. Been there, done that. No. I have found that the guys at gyms think they are hot shit and thus think they can get any girl in the place and most of the times do. Who wants a sweaty, "think he's all dat" weight room playa?
- Political rallies. Unless it is a non-TT political rally, not interested. If it is a UNC or PNM rally, forget it. Not interested.
While I am enjoying the many ways of running into man candy here in London, be it over drinks, while trying to open your front door, on the bus, over carrots in the veggie aisle, or over a box of jerk chicken, the question still remains - where have you met your guy or where would you recommend for the single ladies of 2011?
Well a friend or "know of" person introduce me to a nice guy at a bday party ... We still together today so I guess social mature gatherings is one .
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Turns out I met my guy on my college campus. But I've been hearing that the best place to meet men is online...like on these dating sites. I hear there is much success in that. Whatever you do, just have a great time dating and meeting men. Enjoy it! When the right one comes along, you'll know it!
ReplyDeleteMatching sites seem to be the way to go. Me, I prefer to meet them the old fashioned way--through the friend of a friend of a friend. :)

I have no idea how to meet men in real life anymore. My social life is pretty limited to the people I already know.
