It's not easy finding a romantic partner. In fact, it's so hard that the dating market is forcing a friend of mine to move to a different city. According to her she has no choice, having already dated all of the men in her current location.
She claims that it is move, or try one of those online dating sites. And she doesn't like the idea of online dating, so she's checking on rentals in some of the nearby cities and calling movers for quotes. Which leaves her with just the one option.
She thought her only option was to move. Personally, I think this is silly. She overlooked a major way to meet great potential partners : go about your life and do fun things you enjoy!
Amazing! You mean that someone should actually go out and do fun things? And meet someone? No way, that's too simple, there must be a catch. Except there isn't. She should just go out and do fun things, things she'd like to do anyhow, and meet people in that fashion.
One of her favorite things to do is to read. It doesn't sound all that social at first, but then if you think about it, there are reading groups. If she joins a reading group she may meet men, but if not she'll make some new friends and maybe one of her new friends can introduce her to the perfect guy for her.
I'd give this same advice to anyone. It serves a dual purpose. You don't want to be so caught up in trying to find someone to date that you become boring and miserable : exactly the opposite of what your perfect potential partner is probably looking for! You may as well have fun doing things you like to do. Plus, if you meet someone doing things you like, you'll end up dating someone with interests similar to yours.
One friend of mine, who is a 33-year-old man, met his wife while working out. They both love going to the gym. They now go on runs together, and share many other aspects of their athletic and active lifestyles. Me, I met my partner in a writers' group. We write together in our spare time. It works out perfectly.
This is a version of the sage if cliched advice to be yourself. It's great advice, and you can't lose. If you find a partner, wonderful, you'll have lots of fun things in common. And in the mean time, you are enjoying yourself and developing your own interests.
