Searching For Partners In All The Wrong Places

Sometimes when we are looking for a significant other we look at the most unnecessary places or just not the right places at all. Why? That’s we do as humans we think it’s okay to look for people anywhere and see no wrong in it. Have you ever thought that people go to certain places just because they think they won’t be bothered by certain people just because they want to enjoy themselves? People don’t expect to be bothered at certain venues because of how awkward it is such as Funerals, Clubs, the gas station etc.

Location: Club
This is the NORM for some people to bag and tag partners in the party scene. Usually the club is a “iffy” place because most clubs aren’t meant for you to look for a partner at. People go to clubs to have fun, enjoy themselves, get there swerve on, relieve some stress and just do them with their friends. If your intentions every time is to walk into a club and be like “Ima bag that person right there and that one too” then you definitely not enjoying yourself. Sometimes it’s not even the social setting for something like that at all. Lounges are SOMETIMES places to socialize with people and get to know them at, but if people are trying to dance and tell you to step off then that really isn’t a good environment to be searching for a partner. It’s okay to make friends with them and go about your own thing but if you’re trying to be more than just a friend within that 4-5 hour timeframe and hang around them the whole time asking them a million questions about them while they are trying to have a good time that’s not a good look at all.

Location: FuneralYou’re at a family, friends, someone you know funeral and your paying your last respect for a person you know. This is usually a time to reflect on the times you spent with them and the happy moments in life. There are always those people who try to get you at your weakest time and feel that it will benefit them. I feel as though this is just completely disrespectful, them trying to mourn a loss and you coming in to try and bag them. This is the wrong setting for something like this its cool if you talk to them and comfort them through the situation, but if your intentions are just to get with them cause there at their weakest point this is filthy and disgusting and you should rethink who you are as a person.

Location: Gas Station
I think this has to be the worst setting especially if you’re in a rush to go somewhere (that’s usually ALL the time) and someone stops you and tries to have a long conversation with you. Just take my number and we can text each other at another point in time and point but your bout to make me late so move out the way. If you got the time go right ahead but me personally the only time I need gas is when I need to be somewhere important and fast and if someone came up to me asking 21 questions about my life I would just give her my number and I’ll forward her my resume later.

Searching for a partner where ever you go should not be a priority on your list you should just get to know people and figure out what you do from there. There is always a time and place for everything but these particular situations you have to know exactly WHEN and WHERE the right time to do these.

Why Can’t We Just Be Friends?

Networking,

We all do it, its all part of life and how we meet new people.
But, why do people think just because we are talking to them and trying to get there information we are trying to “GET WITH THEM?” Why can’t we just get your information just because we find you intriguing and a good person to talk to.

We don’t necessarily have to be trying to get with you when we ask for your phone number, we are just trying to connect with people who have a similar thought process as us or people who peak our interest.

Guys Point of View: (My Opinion)
Okay as a guy sometimes we do just try and get your numbers to see if we can get your numbers and see what comes out of it but other times we just like having a female friend to just talk to about random things and/or for advice so why can’t we just be friends? Sometimes females already assume just because we are guys we can’t be looking for female friends and thats clearly wrong.

Girl Point of View: (My Opinion)
Straight to the point females think all guys think a like and only want one thing from them no matter how they come off. If a dude walks up to a chick on some friendship type stuff females will look at you like “are you gay?” or “I’m not looking for another male friend.” Females are on there toes for anyway a dude tries to get at them because they don’t want to get played, be somebodies side chick or just dont want to be taken on a ride and left out on the side.

Why can’t I just walk up to you, introduce myself, get your information and just be friends? Why does it have to be more then that everytime I approach you? As I sit here and look at my friends I realize I lost a couple decent ones just because they “assumed” I was trying to get with them but they need to ask themselves “Why Can’t We Just Be Friends?”
