| Have you ever had a serious relationship with someone you met from a bar? Posted: 10/5/2007 6:52:03 PM | I don't really go to bars anymore,but for many years in the past I did. I always attracted men,but it wasn't the kind of attention I usually wanted.
I never dressed slutty,and neither did my friends.Do most men that go to bars just want to hook up with someone for a one night stand?
Am I right to think that you can never meet a decent person in a bar? | |

I also have friends who married the man they met in the bar and are still going strong...
It happens all the time, although I wouldn't necessarily endorse it as a method for finding someone...
Only because going out strictly to meet someone decent in an environment packed with drunks can elicit less than desirable results... whereas simply going out to have a fun night can lead to bumping into someone and.... *serendipity* | |

| Have you ever had a serious relationship with someone you met from a bar? Posted: 10/5/2007 7:18:03 PM | I had a relationship with a girl i met at a bar. I wasnt looking around though, she approached me. I asked her later why, and she said i looked like i was having a lot of fun and she was intrigued.
She had a good job and was very responsible. Just liked to unwind at the pub after work once in a while.
If you have any sense you can pick out the drunks from the normal people. | |

We were both there to sing Karaoke. He was quite a romantic. He had one song that he knew I just loved and we never went to a Karaoke show that he didn't sing it to me. It was usually his last song of the night ... "After the Loving" (Engelbert Humperdinck).
Sigh. | |

| Have you ever had a serious relationship with someone you met from a bar? Posted: 10/5/2007 7:30:32 PM | My theory: Find 'em on POF, lose 'em on POF.
So true!
I was a bartender and manager for many years...had two long term and great relationships from ppl I met at work. The bar had nothing to do with the breakups either. But yes...It would slightly amuse me to hear some girl talk about a new relationship and how great it was, only to see the 'new relationship' was a regular that was in a couple of days before hitting on another girl.
Although...I usually told the girl her man was a player...if she was a good tipper

Posted: 10/5/2007 7:32:28 PM | Absolutely I met my first wife in a bar so I think that qualifies its like anywhere unfortunately too often outside forces cloud judgement in places like that which makes it much harder.Although Admittedly having worked in them for so many years would have been hard for me to meet someone anywhere else.

| Have you ever had a serious relationship with someone you met from a bar? Posted: 10/5/2007 7:41:32 PM | I've been picked up by 3 guys at the bar.
First guy, it was the weekend after my 18th birthday. I was very drunk and gave him my number because I thought he was hot. He called me on the Sunday and we decided to go to see this dj competition. When I saw him I swear he wasn't the same guy from the bar (he was kinda ugly, so I guess there were some definite beer goggles). We got to talking and I asked what he did. He was a high school teacher. I was still in high school at the time! So obviously that wasn't gonna happen. And even if he had a different job, he was 27. 18 and 27 is just too different if you ask me, especially the way I was at 18.
Second guy I ended up going to his apartment after the bar (he lived across the street). We dated for a few weeks but I quickly learned he was a self centered jerk. Plus he called me up and told me his ex gf was pregnant and it was his kid. She had just moved to the states and he was gonna go down there to talk to her about getting an abortion. He said he would call me when he got back. (I was like 'Uh huh, sure whatever' not expecting anything). 3 months later he called me at 6 am on a weekday for a booty call. Needless to say I gave him an earful.
Third guy was on my 22nd birthday. We went out once after that but we were much MUCH too different. He only wanted to talk about cars and wrestling and had never even graduated from high school. I prefer talking about current events and politics and what not. He didn't even know who the prime minister was. So basically nothing in common.
Based on everything I've experienced, seen and heard, I would definitly say the bar is not a good place to meet quality men for a serious relationship. | |

Posted: 10/5/2007 7:45:42 PM | | i have had two long realitions,together they lasted for 20 years.I met both of those men in a bar,we talked there for hours and decided to meet again so it can happen and do all the time,since I know about many people who met that way.I dont think it happen between people who goes to a bar and walks home with a stranger do,but otherwice it can! | |

Posted: 10/5/2007 7:50:24 PM | | Yes,two of my ex's in the last 15 years are from bars,I find it a vastly superior venue than POF,in fact I just came from a bar full of nice,non ****y women(compared to pof'ers) so thats where i look when I'm done playing with the dillatantes on the internet. Living on the beach has its perks I guess,excellent cross section of humanity,from bikers to harvard grads all together and nobody with a veritable laundry list of restrictions ,quite a refreshing change from this swamp | |
