b52s Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I often wondered this. To me, I think people do. That's why I think online dating has become so popular, if we meet someone discretely from an online dating site, if things don't work out.....it's set up so you'll never have to see them again hardly ever. However, if you've ask any Tom, Dick, and Jane how they met someone, the most common response was through friends and/or family. Through the friends or family circle. This was the most common way of meeting your future someone. But now there's this fear of "what if it doesn't work out, I might have to see him/her again?" I'm referring to places like church....if it doesn't work out, you'll have to see each other at church again. Through your night out to the local watering hole where you see the same people all the time, you meet a person there, few months later, things don't work out....you might have to see each other again. Dating people in the same apartment complex? College campus? Same classes? The irony of it all....these are the most LIKELY places to hook up and date, so why short yourselves? However, there are 2 types of people.....people who can get along with others after a break up, and the other who does not. Friend of mine continued on with his life after a break up with someone he met at a Meetup group....but she stopped going, apparently she couldn't deal with it and just stopped going. But why do this to ourselves?
DiscoChick Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I like people, in general. They confuse me, but I enjoy them...most of the time. I'd date a guy I was attracted to, if he asked; it doesn't matter where I know him from. I would like to meet a guy at church! The guys at our church are teenagers or 50+. I am one of those people that can be friends after a break-up, considering the break-up did not result from him cheating.
temple Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Whether people choose to be amicable after a break-up or not, it shouldn't have much impact on anything in the long run. Sure it might be difficult for a little while, but life goes on. I don't think people should make out as though it's the end of the world just because a relationship doesn't work out. There's more important things in life after all.
