Other than someone buying me and my friends a round of drinks (and they were sent to our table, so I never even saw him) I haven't met anyone by going out. I meet most of the guys I know through school (so they're married) or at work (and I don't date co-workers). I'll just say God's trying to tell me something and leave it there. Anymore thought and I'll depress myself.

Sometimes, you never know when you are going to meet that special someone (for the night, the evening, the week, the month(s) or the year).

Making the co-workers off-limits, unless it is in your HR Code of Conduct manuals, then, you never know that on that special projects, sparks may fly...

Sometimes, you have to go to those conferences, meetings, in far away places, to meet those gentlemen you desire the most... Communications is very much different than when I was your age, most professionals have linkedin, facebooks, and Ning accounts. Singles have more information at their disposal than ever before about one another. No way you cannot find out about another person fully before dating. Which makes me wonder why its so hard to meet someone? But, meeting THE ONE is different than meeting someone, and you said, you just want to basically "hangout".

Since you like movies, how come you don't support the "film festivals" in your city? If you like the new comic-cons, then how come you are not going to them?

And if I was single, I would be attending my Boule, that just sounds fun! But, my husband's and mine's funding is tied up to different travel arrangements.

I remember I had a date the same day Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were going to be lined up. This doesn't happen very often so I bought a telescope and cancelled the date.

Anywhooo, just thought I would get a couple of posts in before I go to work.
LMAO i totally read something more into that but maybe you just really like planets and whatnot.

I used to be against dating co-workers, that whole "S#!T where you eat" thing definitely went to heart. But, I realized--MOST of the couples I know now met when they worked together. Until I finally got it together to clean off my fridge, I had a birth announcement from a couple who met at work, as well as a wedding invite from a couple who also met at work. She was his boss! That said, I know of one situation where the work thing did not go over very well at all, but more so because the girl was crazy than because of the fact that they worked together.
