Went to a New Year's Eve party being held in an obscure warehouse in the late 80s. Immediately locked eyes with the drummer. Blatantly stared at him while I danced. Subtle eh? *laughing* During a break, he sauntered over to me. We talked for a while. He finished his set. We were together for the summer before he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a music producer. Hes now in New York City, has traveled Europe with his band and still a music producer. That sounds really sexy!  Okay, I'm biased, I tend to have a thing for drummers myself, lol. Really nice, and sounds danged adventurous! Thank you for sharing.  MmmHmmm! I have a thing for musicians. Professional or not.. Makes me puuuurrrrr. *laughing* Great topic! Thanks for posting it. Me too, hihi. My last two partners were musicians. One drummer, the other bass player. I like artistic people. I'm artistic myself so there's attraction there. But somehow there's something about musicians... And glad you like the topic! |

I only know, where not to meet a partner: In work. My late granny always said 'In work, there is only colleagues, but never friends'. Should have listened to her  Never get your honey where you make your money. |

When I was healthy and working I had little problem meeting people.
I'm pretty easy to get along with and I have an infectious personality (so I'm told). It wasn't till I became housebound nearly 10 years ago that I had problems. Online interactions are difficult. Luckily I'm not bed-ridden so I can go out and meet up with people. Many people are having problems with the pandemic restricting their interactions. I've been shelter-in-place for about 10 years now. Being married for 25 years affected my interactions with women. I was a faithful husband and I loved my wife and my family. While not 'looking' for anyone, women seemed to be 'attracted' to me. When I was single again, it seemed they dissappeared? I'm not really sure what changed in my appearance? My most interesting meet, decades ago before I was single. I was in the service stationed at Little Creek, VA. I had an apartment with a buddy from work and we would walk to the beach on VA beach everyday after work. One weekend (friday night) we had two women follow us home. They yelled as we stepped up on the porch and asked if we had any beer. That was ONE HELLUVA weekend! We also had parties at that apartment. I'd met a few different women during those parties. Wasn't till I returmned from a deployment in Lebanon that I met my wife. I was helping one of my crewmate's girlfriend move her stuff from upstate NY and I met her sister and we hit it off right away. I married her 18 months later. And yes, it was a good marriage for 24.5 years but when it was done, it was done. |

So many singles here, many of whom are looking for love, but don't know how, where, and in the end many of us kind of lose faith that it can happen. So I thought, why not share some inspiration and tell about the wonderful, funny, exciting, etc. way you met a partner. And since the idea is to be an inspiration for others, leave out the sour bits. That's for another topic. So... What story could you share about how you've met someone? My story.... I came back to The Netherlands after 2 years abroad, and I felt horribly out of place here. I'd seen so much, lived among the Aboriginals in AUstralia, lived and travelled through Indonesia. In those days (1987) very few people travelled far, nor had any the experiences I'd had. After being single for about a year, my Tae Kwondo teacher got sick and had to stop. We got a new teacher, and one of the men who came with him to help out liked me. A lot. I didn't like him all that much, lol, but after class I did end up talking to him. And it turned out he'd lived in Australia as a kid for years on end, and again when he was about 17-18!!! Wowza! The next time I saw him he had a present for me. I couldn't wait till after class to see it! It was a kangaroo skull. Talk about an unusual first pressie! Of course I still got :) And yep... we got together, married, kids, own house, the lot :) So we met in the sport school. Sometimes it's coincidence/fate and other times it's just honest-to-God efforts at frequenting the same spots. E.g., your church, a park with single parents, support groups for single parents, etc. |

I haven't dated many, but they do stand out from the rest. |
