to those in LTRs where did you meet your girl?

[MrNiceGuy]

Just out of interest where do people find their steady girlfriends?
Was she a complete stranger when you started dating, or did you know each other beforehand?

And if she was a complete stranger, where did you meet her? at a party? a pub/club/bar? or a cold pickup somewhere?

If you've an unusual story about how you met each other.. post it here!

I met her in the toilet. She used to be a man.

In a SM-club, where else?

guess that says something about the number of people actually in relationships on this board..

 

[MrNiceGuy]

hmm, no-one met their girlfriend in a pub/club/bar... and only one cold pickup here so far..

Looks like mutual friends/same job/hobby is the way to go! Time to look for a new part time job or something then..

Despite giving you the right mindset it appears approaches on strangers rarely yield relationships.. which is a bit disheartening... apart from my one-itis I don't know that many women at all..

edit... 10 minutes later...

although........ meeting stranger chick, going on a few dates, realise we're not right for each other but.. she says I'd really like you to meet blah blah blah.. or bump into her later, shes with some friends and friend happens to be perfect...

cha ching... always look on the bright side... see opportunities everywhere.. thats the key..

I met nearly all of my LTR's (there haven't been many) by either doing the approaching, or in one case being approached. Two of them I met in bars. One came up to me.

I always hear people saying it's best to meet someone through friends or at work, etc. Often, because this seems safe. I don't like to do this though. Too many bad experiences with this sort of thing that make work and friendships akward for awhile when it ends.

My best relationships have been with women who were complete strangers. I don't like fix-ups by friends, and I don't believe in dipping your pen in the company ink.

I just love the risk, mystery, and excitement that come with meeting strangers. Plus, it takes much more courage which makes you more of a Don Juan, and a much better man. Yeah, you may have to go through many more women and a lot of rejection this way, but that's the point. Push yourself out of your comfort zone! This is the only way to achieve excellence and become a better human being. Having the whole friends/work safety net is too comfortable.

Besides, you'll meet some real bad women either way. Which is a good learning experience. It will sharpen your judgement and make you a better DJ with better relationships. (or more sex)

I met my last LTR through a friend... we set us up on a whim one weekend during a night out at a bar, not expecting us to click because of our political differences. We dated for two years, but broke up because I wanted to get married, but she wasn't ready. The one before that I met through work.

The option of meeting your girl at school wasn't on there, but I assume that meeting her through work is kind of same thing.

 

[KiInCollege]

College campus is by far the easiest. The gym, dining hall, in between classes, IN classes...I've had most of my dates at school since all the women are my age and there are so many of them. If you aren't attending you could still go hunting around the campus library - that could be your hunting pass M.O. since you aren't a student.

The mall is a great spot. A mall with a movie theatre and a Starbucks close by is a frikkin hot zone.

But you never know where you'll find your sweetheart. I met my current girl at a club. You can do very well at the club if you are alpha.

In general, choose places that have a high concentration of women. I think there was a listing in the bible, but the above places were enough for me.

I was extremely suave when I met my fiance. Very DJ experience. I don't feel like typing it all out again. Wait for my autobio. Big karaoke buff. The reason why I didn't meet her sooner was because she lived in Toronto for about 2 years, and she had only been in my city for about a month.

We discovered we knew a lot of the same people, but we had never met.

 

[Oscar Wilde]

I met my ex in a pub I'd never been to before (and wouldn't normally go), on a night that I didn't intend to go out (was wearing dodgy cycling clothes, 4 days unshaven). And I didn't try to score.

There's a recurring theme for me here somewhere - lack of effort keeps bringing me the girls - anytime I try, well, I get them then too

I love this site

Osc.

 

[STR8UP]

Not in a relationship now, but my last LTR started as my roommate.

I needed a place to live. She had a room. Next thing you know she's on my bed showing me her nipple ring. The rest is history.

As KiInCollege said, I met my last LTR in college. I was a tutor for physics and I just hang around her. She thought that I was doing the tutoring job to hit on girls, but I said no.
