Where do you meet people?
And I’m referring to face-to-face meet ups and not online.
I did mention before that I’m pretty old fashioned when it comes to finding a potential mate, reason being I’m a romantic. I do like chance encounters so whenever I step out of the door, I’d often find myself wondering if I’m going to meet someone that day.
This thought came to mind since I’ll be heading to my home country, Philippines, tomorrow. Well, technically I’m stopping by Singapore first and spend quite a bit of time there before I head to Manila. And from my experience in travelling, I know there are possibilities that you will meet someone new. Dates may come out of some and others just plain “our paths just crossed in time” kind of thing. So, there — this is one of those moments wherein I may just meet someone.
Aside from cafes, restos or bookshops, where you can strike up a conversation with a stranger or vice versa, Airports have been added to my list of places. I guess, it’s a good thing you are able to enumerate them, right? That way, it can be clear to you just what type of people you do get to meet. That is, if they share something similar with you in terms of interests and experiences or you’ve been making mistakes in putting yourself in wrong places or situations that’s why you end up with the wrong kind of guy instead of Mr. Right.
What about you? What places do you reckon you can meet people? I’m really interested to know.

Oh boy…a toughie. I think people have been trying to figure this one out for some time. Although the stories of meeting someone in the produce aisle or doing a hobby abound it hasn’t thus far been a dating mecca for me. However, I do hear there is someone fun at a dog group I’m going to in a few weeks. We’ll see.

I had a friend who always met people in airports and while on vacation. Me? I’ve been married so long that I can’t even remember anymore! And since I always have a toddler in my arms nowadays, hardly any guys hit on me. *sob*

Hsien, have you asked your husband if HE gets hit on when he’s with your toddler? I heard it’s a great conversation starter. Hahaha.
Anyway, at least you’ve graduated from the dating scene.. that’s far better than still being in it! ;)

Hilarious! Hahaha.
I should ask you for tips, H, on how to effectively supervise husbands, you reckon? That is when I find one for myself. ;)

[...] I constantly tell myself that I can meet him anywhere, anytime. As I’ve said before, I like chance encounters so whenever I step out of the door, I’d often find myself wondering if I’m going to meet someone that day. I truly believe that so it’s comforting to be reminded once in a while especially if I do need re-assurance. [...]
