The Best Place to Meet...
So I had a gathering with the gals recently and a few of them were thinking of trying online dating (that's soooo 2001) and speed-dating (that's soooo 2006). LOL.
We were discussing the pros and cons of meeting someone online vs. in a bar vs. in the supermarket vs. on the street vs. church vs. in a sex toy shop...well, you get the idea.
Having tried most of those venues, save church and the sex toy shop (both of those make me feel like I'm doing something wrong), I don't really think there's a good place to meet a significant other. There are some grade A arseholes in church (I've heard no one knows how to get down like a church girl) as well as in the club. Matter of fact, it's usually the same arseholes from the club you'll meet in church the next day. LOL.
Despite my horrid experiences, I like online dating. That's where I met First Love, that's where I met my best friend (although we weren't tryna date each other) and frankly, at least I know that they can read.
The club thing is just not my scene. It's easy to holla at me when I'm dressed up and lookin' fine. If you holla at me when I'm looking like a bum (i.e. current BF), then I know you're really interested.
Don't talk to me while I'm at the gym. Period. Well, unless you look like Dreamy Dread.
The supermarket's ok too, I think. It's a good way to scope out dude's consumer habits (like if he's buying tampons, it's probably a red flag).
The weirdest place I've ever been holla'd at is at an OB/GYN doctor's office. Yup, you read right. Dude apparently chose a GYN as his primary care physician, so he was waiting for his "annual physical." That's creepy on so many levels that I can't even begin to explain.
What say you? Where's the best place to meet someone, and where's the weirdest place someone's ever tried to holla at you?

i think any and everywhere is good....the important thing in my mind is to actually meet!!!
LOL. Yes, reports rom JA indicate that there's a serious drought. Some of my gal pals are considering taking advantage of Caricom benefits and expanding their, um, meeting grounds to other islands.
I guess there are just so many new eligible people you can meet in your circle.
omg
I have no words
online dating is the BEST!
total assholes usually out themselves in the first few emails
I'm taking my first stab at online dating... Idk where its going to go, I am giving myself a 3 month trial period.. if nothing works that way then I'm going to just leave it alone..
O.K. SE... I think you just succeeded in sending me back to church. I had no idea they could get down so well. Must be the constant kneeling huh?
LOL! Y3s, I'd agree that tampons in his shopping basket are quite the red flag. He must have a terrible case of the runs.
LMAO @ GC. Tis true!
@ Liryc: it'll be fine. Like GC said, the jerks usually out themselves in the first few emails. Plus I think it depends on the site. Personally, I'd use Match for casual, no-pressure dating. Y'know, just to have fun.
If I were looking for my husband, maybe Chemistry or eHarmony would be a better choice. But my cuz got married from match so I think it depends on both people's mindset.
LMAO @ KK. Don't involve me in your blasphemy. I'm just telling you what I heard. LOL.
