I sat in a bar the other night and I couldn’t help over hearing a conversation between two ladies next to me. They were lamenting the lack of quality men in their lives and were pondering the best way to correct this situation. In other words, they were in a dating rut. Finally, one of them said that she had decided to “expand her search area”.
Now, I thought to myself, “what a good idea!”. Afterall, there are amazing people all over the place so why limit your opportunities? But then she said, “I’m going to start hanging out at the bar next door”.
Well, I’m sorry, but that’s just not good enough. Yes, you will meet some new faces but you’ll probably also run into a lot of people you already know and have rejected. Why not move totally out of your area?
Try a bar in a whole other town! (wow, what a concept!) Or maybe even try something other than a bar – attend a “MeetUp” group that appeals to you. And for those of you who have never heard of “Meetup” I urge you to get to a search engine NOW and check it out.
I’m certainly not saying you’ll meet the person of your dreams, but you can at least give yourself a fighting chance and, if nothing else, expand your dating horizons and hopefully your world and your life.
