Subject: RE: Venting to single womenI still think it's just one of those random things that you have to be open to. Like Wookie said, they are out there. Maybe you're just limited yourself to the jerks because you're looking in the wrong places. I can't say, really. Like I wrote in Shellee's post the other day, I met my Mr. Wonderful at his house. Basically, it was a chance meeting through a friend, that wasn't even intended to happen. Before Mr. Wonderful, I met Mr. Will-Do-For-A-While at a coffee shop. A chance smile, an offer to have him join us (I was with a group of girl friends), and 10 years later my life was completely different. My mom met my dad because she was the proctor in his sister's dorm and he has to get "checked in" before he could visit his sister. As for "all the good ones are taken"... that may be so. But not forever. "Good ones" are like the one card you need to win at Gin Rummy. You have to wait until someone else puts them down and then snatch it up before anyone else can. In otherwords, you have to be ready to jump the minute you see one. And, like Gin Rummy, you can't be too timid or afraid to pick up something you're not 100% sure will work. Take a risk. Go out with someone you may not find attractive at first. You never know... and the worst that can happen is you have a mediocre night out. If you're open to it, you may at least have made a new friend who can introduce you two his two friends, and so on and so on.  |
