Go to the movie theater to watch the latest movie. Watching TV alone at home, will not allow you to meet someone to share your life with. The person standing in line ahead of you, buying a movie ticket or a bag of popcorn, could easily end up by being your mate for life. Relationships can develop unexpectedly. All it takes is both being in the same place at the same time. This is known as "Fate".
A few years ago I met a man in in the now defunct Circuit City. He was searching for a new computer and I was just looking around to fill a few hours.
We talked about computers, types, prices and styles. He asked my advice and I gave it. We talked a while, then he smiled, thanked me for the help and said goodbye.
Quite by chance, we met again a few days later at the same store. It was purely accidental. This time, we chatted about more personal matters instead of computers. He wanted to get to know me better he said and invited me to have dinner with him the next night. Things did not go well at dinner. We had nothing in common and we parted. I never saw him again. However it was fate that we met, even if we found out that we had nothing in common. It could have easily gone the other way.
Meeting a soul mate when attending a class to learn how to paint, ceramics or pottery, can happen in a classroom. Relationships can begin unexpectedly at any place or time. Keep this in mind. The important thing is to be out there for love to find you and instead of hiding in the house.
When I was in High School. I walked into my Science class the first day of school, I wore a black cardigan buttoned down the back. I held school books in my arm. I walked in front of the room looking for an empty desk. Quite unexpectedly a handsome guy walked up to me and offered me the desk next to his. He was the Captain of the Baseball team and very handsome. What luck!
We entered into a relationship. He professed his love. He escorted me to the Prom. He often told me that he fell in love the moment I walked into the room wearing the black cardigan buttoned down the back. It was pure fate! We talked about marriage when we got older. I do not remember why we parted.
Unplanned meetings often happen and many result in marriage. Relationships start when two meet accidentally. If sparks fly when someone stops to talk to you, be sure to smile or nod. This might be true love standing in front of you. Opportunities like that might only happen once in a lifetime.
Other Types of Meeting Opportunities
Dating Services
Dating services are a way of meeting Mr. or Ms. Right. Prior to getting your hopes up of meeting and falling in love by this method, check out the possibilities of meeting someone of your age at a dating site, who is not a game player!
Speed Dating
Speed Dating is another way to meet your true love. Think of the right questions to ask at this five minute dating site. Do not look merely at their outer beauty, Remember that a beautiful pearl is found inside an oyster. Give each person a chance. Ask to meet them again. it is usually easier to get to know a person when you talk to them for more than 5 minutes.
Other Possibilities
There are the usual places to go to your meet true and compatible love. Most have been previously discussed and suggested. The best thing to do is to think of the places that are not as obvious where you have a chance to meet your future mate. Relationships can start accidentally. Keep this in mind!
1. If you do not know anything about golf, or have never watched it being played in person, join a golf discussion group. They might have a class at night school. Keep an eye out for someone who interests you and start a conversation.
2. Read the weekend newspapers in things to do for the weekend. Check out the Flower Shows, Gun Exhibits or other opportunities. Keep an eye out for someone who looks like they are available. Pretend to be interested in the topic and ask questions. Think of them as being a potential mate.
3. Attend an RV show. They usually are found in the Spring. Look for the lavish and more expensive ones that are more for long travel destinations than short family trips. Look at the vehicles and the potential buyers. You just might accidentally bump into a guy who is looking for a wife to travel with him.
About five years ago I met a widower in Barnes & Noble. I ordered coffee and cake and looked around for an empty table. There was a single man sitting and reading a book. I asked if I could share his table. He nodded, 'yes'.
He was a widower and owned a Recreational Vehicle. In fact, he was the President of a travel club. We dated for a short while. He wanted to teach me how to handle a large sized RV so I could travel with him. However, as it turned out, I ended the relationship before the trip for very good reasons. The point is that one never knows when they can bump into a potential long term relationship.
It is the unknown that should guide you. Take a chance and stray from your usual haunts and boundaries. You never know where your true love will appear. Relationships start accidentally and in all places. Museums are great place to meet. If you both are there at the same exact moment you might meet the person to share your life with. Some opportunities happen only once in a lifetime. Grab the moment and go with it - you have nothing to lose.

Post a CommentMost of my relationships began when I unexpectedly met someone. Don't rule out chance!
Good topic. I met my husband 16 years ago via a medical support bulletin board on Prodigy. He has asked a question about a disease, and nobody had answered. I did. He was in MO and I, in VA. The rest is history.
So true. Great story.
I think a fix-up is better than meeting a stranger in a store. You are probably lucky it ddidn't work out.
very true
Nice work. If I used the information, I think my wife would object, although it's great info.
Great advice, thanks Sondra.
Thanks, ℳ.ℋ.
Very true, lovely!
What an excellent article & reminder - thanks!
