Top 3 of the Week: Places You're Not Supposed to Meet A Partner



1) At a Bar

You're not supposed to meet your future husband or wife at a bar, right? After all, the intention of many guys isn't to find love when they're out on the town, but most likely to find a way to get into a ladies pants that night. And the girls intention? Why, of course, to get some free drinks out of the deal! (just kidding...maybe.) But if you're single, isn't the point of going out to meet someone perhaps? If you just so happen to find a keeper at the bar and exchange numbers, the stigma of meeting each other there won't go away.


2) On the Internet
Ok so if you meet the "players" or the "sluts" at the bar, then its the "perverts" and the "creeps" you need to watch out for online. The internet is the up-and-coming way to meet people, that is if you play it safe. A lot of people still have a hard time embracing the new-age concept, doubting that you can really trust people online. But when you hear success stories left and right, you got to think there's something to this easy-way-to-find-out-in-a-matter-of-seconds just-by-reading-a-profile, if someone is right for you.


3) At Work
So, ok, so meeting someone on the internet is a more modern search, but finding love at work has always been considered taboo. Have people done it in the past? Sure, whether it's overcoming the office gossip or hiding it all together. But the real issue isn't when you're dating that person. It's the aftermath of seeing them on a daily basis if it doesn't work out!

So what the hell is left? Unless its meeting friends of friends (and of course awkwardness could ensue if THAT doesn't work out), or having the man of your dreams save you from being hit by a bus, there's no IDEAL way to meet someone!

Greetings from India!

Here the really religious folk have arranged marriages so they do not have to go through the trouble of meeting someone.

But, the common people here normally use office romance the most. I agree though that it can be wrong, especially on the sports teams!
