scott123 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Just out of curiosity. There are a lot of people on here with a lot of experience and I'm just wondering how successful do you think a relationship will be if it starts out at a dance bar with making out and dancing. Would it be as successful as any other start to a relationship?
Author scott123 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 How come? Is it because people who generally go to the bars often are actively seeking somebody out? "Desperate" maybe? or is it some other reason? Primarily looking for sex? Thanks
huskers11 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Depends on how you met at the bar. I met my ex boyfriend at a bar but it was through mutual friends. We hit it off immediately and dated for four great months! I think you'll be able to tell their intentions from the beginning. If you are having doubts, take it slow and get to know them before any of the big relationship milestones occur!
tb24 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Me and my ex met at a bar (as random strangers). We were together over two and a half years. Don't discount it entirely.
Linda9999 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 My husband and I met at a bar 15 years ago. We didn't have sex for another 10 months after that, though (5 months of which consisted of him trying to call a wrong number my friend had given him)
sigurpol Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I've always looked at this as case by case. I sort of side with most people when they say that it won't really lead to anything else because I guess most people go out without any intention to meet someone and start a relationship. However, I have a few friends that have met their girlfriends at the bars that my group frequents. Not that it was a nightclub, but that's where they met. Most of them are still dating the same girl after three years or so.

We didn't have sex for another 10 months after that, though (5 months of which consisted of him trying to call a wrong number my friend had given him) I would imagine the bar scene was completely different in the 90s; wasn't it just 15 years ago that Bill Clinton said he did not have " sexual relations" with that woman?
Star_Bright Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 I know lots of people who have met in a bar and I have met past boyfriends in bars. To me it doesn't matter where we meet. I like going out and having fun and so I want someone who also likes that. Makes sense that we would meet in a bar. Right now I am not looking for a relationship so it doesn't matter but when I am I don't know why one that started in a bar would be any different than one that started online or whatever.
