gd1039 Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 So, my random meeting of girls has not been going as planned and I thought of something. It happens a lot where 2 people meet through someone else. I am friends/aquaintences with a fair amount of girls, so would it be possible to casually ask one or two of them if they have any single friends? Or, do you have any other suggestions as to how to meet people through other people, because I don't hang out with most the people I know. Usually I just hang out at school or work with them.
Jilly10340 Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 Personally, I try not to date people that I meet through friends. Last year, I got hooked up with one of my friends friends and it totally ruined our friendship. I mean, when you argue with your gf, whose side does your friend take really. It's almost impossible for your friend to be completely unbiased. That's what ruined our friendship, my friend was forced to take sides (at least that's what she thought.) I think that school is the best place to meet people. At work too. Come to think of it, I've met most of my ex's at work....
Papillon Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 Come to think of it, I've met most of my ex's at work.... Something about that strikes me as hillariously funny
Jilly10340 Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 Yeah, now that you mention it, it is kind of funny! Considering that they are all now my ex's, I should probably take it as a sign and break the trend! OMG....I just realized it....I'm giving him advice on where to meet people so I tell him to meet them at work because that's where I've met all my EX bfs. Oh, that's just too funny.
Author gd1039 Posted October 8, 2004 Author Posted October 8, 2004 Sure, work is a good place to meet people, but I think its bad to date people you work with. I work in a grocery store, so there are a lot of people, and quite a few amount of couples too. However, I dated someone I worked with once in the past and when it ended it wasn't pretty. She tried spreading all these lies about me, but I didn't acknowledge them and it ended up making her look worse. School is a great place, only I have been having worse than terrible luck there. That story in itself is deserves a different thread... Anyone I would consider asking is a friend from school. I use friends/aquaintances because we generally don't talk or hang out outside of school. But, while on campus we hang out some. So, I would be a little skeptical asking a girl that I casually know if she has any single friends, but if I approach it as a joke like how hard it is to meet single girls it may be easier.
Merin Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 Jilly! I think it's fine to get a hook up via a friend.. and amazingly enough a lot of people do meet their mate at work.. probably just because they see each other a lot, and have things in common that way... However there are other ways to meet people then just networking with friends or work.. Volunteer Work, at least you know the ppl there have some of the same values or beliefs the two of you may share. Gym (maybe kind of cheesy, LOL but there are still a lot of good ppl there) Book Store (Like Barnes and Nobel) LOL just look for that girl with a copy of "He's just not that into you" then make your move! I do think that friends are an excellent resource in maybe finding a potential date. Good Luck
