I went to a Unitarian singles group for a while. Never met anyone I wanted to date. This was probably because most of the women in the group already had SOs. They finally changed the name of the group when I accused them of false advertising (-: . > ... Do you have parents that suggest getting into >things like a semi-dating services.

I am literally terrified of these kinds of things. ... My parents have learned not to meddle in my relationships or lack of same. (Amazing how cutting off communication for a year or three cuts down on the nagging.) I've always been leery of blind dates and I've never gone to a dating service. On the other hand, a friend met her husband that way, so who knows? With regard to the more expensive dating services, I maintain that, in spite of all the liberation, a woman can look at the expense as an investment, but a man has to think of it as a down payment. >How do any of you people out there meet others of the opposite sex? ... I've been going to a lot of Mensa parties and regional gatherings lately. They've become a good place for me to meet MOTOS. This will probably start the Mensa debate all over again, but you can contact me at the address below for more information. >Some of you have been mentioning living together as an alternative to >marriage or as a way to find out if you are compatable. I only speak for >myself but I have had too many friends that have been in that situation >and it very rarely works out. ... Two of my friends just got married after living together for about 3 years. They seemed very happy both before and after. The only time I ever lived with an SO, the relationship was non-sexual. We got along well for a year, then I went back to school and she bought a new house with another SO. We're still good friends and I still consider her an SO (broadly defined). -- ============================================================================== The Polymath (Jerry Hollombe) Citicorp TTI If thy CRT offend thee, pluck 3100 Ocean Park Blvd. it out and cast it from thee.
