Dude, where are you??

I keep hoping there’s an awesome guy out there who can’t wait to meet me. But how will he find me?

Everyone has an opinion on where to or where to not meet someone. You can’t someone in a bar, you won’t meet anyone on-line. You need a hobby – take up hiking or golf. I don’t believe there is one perfect place to meet someone. I’ve met people in bars, on-line, in airports, etc. One of my favorite lines is “prince charming isn’t just going to knock on my door.”

I was talking to a couple last weekend and when I asked how they met, the husband said, “I knocked on her door.” The story is he moved into an apartment complex and was going to open a bottle of wine when he realized he didn’t have a corkscrew. He and his friend went knocking on doors and ended up at what is now his wife’s door. She answered the door, loaned him a corkscrew and figured she’d never see him again.

A few days later he saw her walking her dog, he returned the corkscrew and asked her if she wanted to hang out sometime. The rest is history as they say.

I write about my own experiences on this site but thought this was a great story. I am not keeping the faith that my perfect guy is going to knock on my door, but it’s nice to know it’s possible.
