One meeting can change your life
I hate being single, I really do. This weekend was a very good reminder that things can change in a magic moment and your life will never be the same. It also reminded me that we need to put ourselves out there as much as possible, because you never know when lightening might strike.
- Yesterday I went to Tom’s birthday party and had a great time. They had put together several little games, one being the Newlywed Game. It was really cute to see Tom and his wife Tracy kiss after one of them answered a question right. Actually they kissed even when one of them got the question wrong.Well you see, Tom and Tracy met at one of my events in 2008 and I went to their wedding last August. Tracy could not stop thanking me and telling the other guests about how her life had changed forever because of a chance meeting with Tom at a speed dating event. Tracy had been to several events and had done the dating circuit trying to find Mr. right. I remember we had spoken on the phone several times about how tough the dating scene was and she wondered if she would ever meet that special guy. She kept putting herself out there and lightening struck! You may actually see Tom and Tracy hosting some of my events soon. Who better to represent WeekendDating.com than a walking testimonial!
- Dan had been to been quite a few events. He had then vanished for a while because he was not having success and then recently started coming back to the events. Well the other day I saw his status on his Facebook page had changed to “in a relationship” with Victoria. Pretty cool. Rumor has it that they are talking about moving in together soon. He kept putting himself out there and lightening struck.
- Two weeks ago I put up an impromptu last minute event to listen to 80’s music at RC Dugans. It was nothing structured, just a last minute thing to give singles a place to go and hang out on a Friday night. I just heard from Mark, one of the attendees, that he met someone that night and they have been out several times. He said “I have a feeling about this one.” It is still very early, so we will have to see what happens. I just remember that Mark was not even going to come out that night. Since it was not a structured event, open to all ages and not gender balanced, you never who is going to come. I am glad Mark put himself out there. It is too early to tell if lightening has struck again, but I will let you know.
So the next time you are dragging your feet about going out, keep in mind that it only takes that one chance encounter with someone to change your life forever. I am not just talking about Weekenddating.com event, but going out in general. Easier said than done sometimes for me, but I will read this again the next time I need a little extra push to get my butt out the door.
