Where Do You Meet People?
Are you single or know someone single who has asked you where to go to meet people like them? I could talk about it for hours but I believe it’s about finding people who are LIKE YOU in environments like you dwell in!
This is a question I get asked all the time by people of all ages. If you’re out there and single and want to meet someone like you – where do you go? What is the least risky setting?
Who are you?
I think it all comes down to who you are. What type of person you are! Are you a social personality – love to be around a lot of people who are intellectual and articulate?? Are you a party animal who likes to drink heavily, party hard and dance until you drop? Are you someone who loves their home life and the simple things like cooking, gardening, reading, family and movies? Do you love the great outdoors – no adventure is too great? Do you love to travel? Before you ascertain the right place for you to meet people who are compatible with you, you have to decide what type of person you are.
Bars
So many people meet in bars – clubs and pubs and pool rooms… anywhere where there are a whole lot of people looking for the same thing – another person. But are they really all looking for the “same thing” in a bar? I think not. I think you will occasionally meet someone who is a homely person who has been dragged out by their friends to meet someone… So they meet someone who is a heavy drinking party animal. They hit it off that night because they’re both drunk – but are they compatible just because they both happened to be in the same place at the same time?
My opinion is bars are a great place for meeting people if you like going to bars and like the type of people who like going to bars. You also have to consider that if you meet a person who has had a few drinks, are you really meeting the person or the “drunk” version of them?
Internet
These days many people meet on the internet too but again, people can truly be different in the written form to how they are in person. I think with the internet you really do need to be a fairly good judge of character, and talk to people for a period of time, searching for inconsistencies before you can completely trust that you’re talking to the person you think you are! Like bars, you are going to get people pretending to be something they’re not. BUT, you might stumble across a genuinely wonderful person. My experience has been that I’ve met good and bad people in both settings. I think the internet offers a safer environment to a bar in that a creep can’t follow you home!
