Always Choosing the "Bad" Guy for a Relationship? Is it Working For You?

Tweet

I started thinking about this after some of my friend's postings on my Facebook. "2009, this'll be my year!" "I have my first date of 2009!" My friends that I'm speaking of are in their early 30's. And, of course, I do know that not everyone gets married right out of college, or in their early 20's. Lots of singles are happy not being in a marriage or long-term relationship. I'm speaking of those who are longing for a long-term relationship. I guess I'm wondering, "Where are they looking?" I think a lot of singles go to the wrong places looking for love. Not only that, but also, 'looking' for love. People go to bars and clubs looking... but, hooking up 2 lonely people isn't a straight fire shot at a long lasting relationship. Adding 2 lonely people doesn't necessarily equal a great relationship. I'm not saying all relationships that begin in a bar are doomed for failure. But, sometimes they just don't work. Going to places of something you're interested in could be a great way to start: church, a martial arts school, an art class.... things like that. You're likely to find someone of similar interest. For example, there are single guys in my church. I know some single girls that just might hit it off with one of these guys if they were just given the chance to meet. Does anyone agree? Have similar suggestions?
