I've ..."Max was standing at the bar"<br /><br />I've always wondered why (and indeed how) people get together in bars. For many years I tried going out "on the pull", solo or with friends, to pubs, clubs, or bars. Everything from quiz night at the local, to full-blown "underground" clubs where sex was very much on the agenda, with nothing more than one furtive snog to show for it.<br /><br />I came to realise that the relationships I did make were all through shared interests- the University drama club, scuba diving club, sunday school even. And the thing about meeting someone in a bar is that the only shared interest you know you have in common is that you're single. And even that's no longer the case once you hook up.<br /><br />So I stuck to doing what interested me, got to know quite a few single young ladies with similar interests, and am still on good terms with most (though sadly not all) of them.<br /><br />I guess the upshot is that if you meet someone in a bar, the "cover" is the only thing you can judge them by initially. There's a lot to be said for reading the foreword and the first few chapters before committing to the happily ever after.mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030050506882670362noreply@blogger.com
