Dr. Martin Gallatin writing the book How to Be Married One Year From Today makes several good points: 1. There is no wrong place to meet someone. Actually, there are only three ways to meet your significant other:
1. Meeting by chance is meeting at work, in your everyday life, or where you like to play. You might run into your future love while shopping, running errands, or vacationing. You might meet at work or while participating in a favorite hobby. You are meeting by chance. 2. You might meet by being introduced by friends, relatives, co-workers, or mere acquaintances. Expanding your circle of friends will help. A new circle of friends means potential new people to date. Letting people know you would like to be introduced is also helpful. It gets their creative juices working. 3. Meeting in the singles' scene takes two tracks. There is the commercial track composed of dating services, matchmaking services, other pay-to-join commercial groups, and personal ads, including those personals on the internet. There is the volunteer or non-profit track. This consists of church groups and non-profit social groups. The people who have the most choice and are the most likely to succeed at the meeting game are those who employ all three meeting methods. |

We usually call us single, too, although luck does occasionally lead one or two of us to the altar. Where do you fit? Let me expand your views! Look back for a year or so. What did you do to meet someone? How long did you try each avenue? Were you realistic or chasing impossible dreams? The form below will help you set meeting goals.
