It's a common assumption that you are most likely to meet
your life partner whilst out socialising. In fact some
people believe that this is the only situation in which
future life partners can be met. This places needless
restrictions on such individuals when searching for a
partner. It means that there search will probably be
confined to weekend evenings during which they attend
social events. In reality they could be searching for and
finding potential partners 24/7. So if you don't have time
to socialise due to work or family responsibilities don't
despair. You really could find your future life partner
anytime, any place, anywhere.
I became interested in where and how couples meet due to
something that happened in my early teens. My schoolteacher
married a man who had been involved in organising her late
Father's funeral. How do I know this you may be wondering?
My Dad drank in the same local pub as the man who owned the
firm of undertakers involved. His son who also worked in
the family business met my teacher through his involvement
with her late Father's funeral. My Dad was a drinking
acquiantance of the undertaker and this fact came out in
conversation betwen the two of them. When I mentioned that
my teacher had recently married my Dad was able to pass on
this interesting piece of information.
As a young adult I had a colleague whose meeting with her
life partner was also associated with her Father's death.
She was in the lift in the block of flats where her family
lived when a young man entered the lift and greeted her. As
it happened he had lived in the same block and knew her
family although not very well. He had moved away a couple
of years previously and only recently returned to the
neighbourhood. He remembered my colleague although she did
not recall him. They began a conversation and she told him
about her Father's death. He expressed his sympathies about
the loss of her Father and my colleague invited him around
to meet and catch up with her family. By the time the
colleague and I met they had been married for many years.
Of course you don't have to lose your Father to gain a life
partner.However I would like to add a note of warning
here.The colleague I just mentioned was happily married. As
far as I am aware my teacher's marriage was also a happy
one. However when we lose an important male in our lives
through death or divorce we need to choose very carefully
the males that we bring into our lives at this time.
Generally speaking the first relationship a woman embarks
on after divorce doesn't last. I am sure that there are
exceptions but it is a time to exercise extra caution. It
makes sense not to rush into a relationship at a time when
you might be feeling vulnerable and regret it later.
Back to the subject of unusual situations in which couples
meet. My friend originally from Eastern Europe tells of how
she first arrived in England by ship.One of the first
people she saw as the ship docked was a man sitting on the
quay on a motorbike.He was to become her future husband.
I have also heard of the couple that met whilst both
serving as magistrates. That former U.S. president Ronald
Reagan met his wife Nancy when they were both actors. She
needed to consult him as her representative of the actors
union. Finally I heard recently of the young woman who went
to the theatre with one of her girlfriends. After seeing
the play her friend suggested that they went back stage to
see one of the actors who happened to be her cousin.They
did, he and the friend found that they had much in common
and are now each other's life partners. This all goes to
prove that the world is full of great men and that it's
possible to meet them anytime, any place, anywhere.You just
have to keep your eyes open.Gentlemen if you are reading
this is unisex it applies to you too. Simply keep your eyes
and ears open and you'll start to met great women anytime
,any place, anywhere.
