Let’s be honest, we’ve all asked this question at least once if not a hundred times: “Where can I find Mr. Right?” We all had our fair share of ‘Mr. Ego,’ ‘Mr. Player,’ and ‘Mr. Right Now.’ And I think I speak for the general population when I say that we are sick of it. We want to know when, where, how, and most importantly, who will be our ‘Mr. Right’ and when he’ll show up. Well, I can’t answer all of those questions, because truth is, you never really know. But I can tell you where NOT to find him.
The problem is that we always look for ‘Mr. Right’ in the same places where we continue to find ‘Mr. Wrong.’ We never stop to realize that maybe the reason we aren’t finding the right guy is because we aren’t looking in the right places. Here are a few places where you probably wouldn’t want to find ‘Mr. Right.’
A Party or Bar: At parties and bars, usually, everyone is drinking and that can lead to future problems. If you met ‘Mr. Right’ at a party or a bar, don’t be upset in the future if he turns out to be an alcoholic, he’s always at a bar, and never home with you. Also, if you get annoyed that he always goes to bed drunk, don’t say I didn’t tell you so. When someone asks you, “Where did you guys meet?,” do you really want the answer to be “At a party.”? Another problem with the party or bar guy is that if he didn’t hit on you, you better believe he’ll be hitting on another girl. Don’t be just another choice for Mr. Wrong.
Sports Events: Ladies, if you meet ‘Mr. Right’ at a football, basketball, or baseball game, don’t flip out if every weekend you get ignored when he’s in front of the T.V. and you are crying in the bedroom because E.S.P.N. is having the national snail race across America. Now this is not to say that everyone can’t meet ‘Mr. Right’ at a sporting event. If you’re a girl who loves to watch the national snail race, then go right ahead! It’s good to be up front with any man you meet at a sporting event and let them know that sports may not be your thing.
The Gym: Even though you enjoy a good workout, and might like a man who does also, gyms are not the ideal place to meet your soul mate. Meeting at a gym, and trying to hold a conversation on a treadmill, one, isn’t the easiest to do, and two, is a little impersonal. Plus, do you really want a man who comes up to your treadmill and starts saying lame pick up lines that he‘s probably using on other women? I didn’t think so.
Now, this doesn’t mean you are never going to find ‘Mr. Right’ at any of these places, it just means if you are, be cautious. But there are plenty of other places you could look. For example, parks, restaurants, coffee shops, beaches, etc., are all lovely places to find ‘Mr. Right.’
I wish you all the best of luck in your search!
