and.then.some Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 I'm curious as to how everyone here has met the people with whom they've had the most successful relationships. A lot of people are looking for love on-line and in bars/clubs. From what I'm hearing... those methods don't usually work out very well. My current theory is that the way you met the better ones is probably the way in which you might meet the next. Were you introduced? Who made the first move? For me, there was always a "go between" of sorts with ones that worked out best & longest. It wasn't the guys who saw me at the mall and gave me their numbers. In general, it went more like: I saw a cute guy a couple of times, inquired about him to a mutual and nosy guy or girl associate/friend who made an introduction. What have your experiences been like?
SoulSearch_CO Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 I met my XH at work. He was one of my supervisors (I say one because there were like 3 at any given time on each shift). Nobody introduced us - we just started talking to each other. Started eating lunch together. Hanging out together. It just bloomed from there. We were together a total of 5-1/2 years. The current guy I'm dating (that I'm really quite fond of ), I've been seeing since the beginning of August. We actually did meet online, but not on a dating site. We met on Meetup. Neither of us was looking to date - just meet people in our area. Ended up emailing each other for 10 days and he finally said, "Let's meet for lunch." What should've just been a lunch date turned into a 6-hour date that ended with dinner. Had our first three dates within 5 days. 2 months into knowing each other, we went out of town together for 3 days. So I'd say things are progressing well. We're semi-long distance (128 miles), so we only get to see each other about once a week or less. But I'm looking at moving to his area (already was under consideration before he came along) this summer. So we'll see how it goes!
