Networking
There is currently a program aired on BBC2 that explores the way that english people find life-long partners. An asian woman, who hosts it, declairs us (the english) hopeless and states that you dont buy a car, a house or go for a job drunk, so why would you find a potential husband that way?
Culturely she says that they way that Asians find husbands is much more effective. They 'network'. Using the knowlegde they have of the single person close friends and family go forth and find them a husband or wife!
~This week there was a woman looking for the illusive 'pink bucket'. Her closest friends and family members 'networked' and found single men and then interviewed them.... Finding out if they were indeed compatable using class, relationship history, morals, values and hobbies.
This system seemed to work! The two singletons, one who put her trust in her family and friends to find her a man, and the man that they found rode off into the distance smiling happily to make babies and live the dream life that had so-far excaped them.
But I wonder?..... if it were me.... who would I trust to do this? Because I am a chamelian and am not entirely honest with whom I am to the majority of people, how would they know what I wanted? There are very few people with whom I am completely 'myself' with. Indeed, a friend who had known me for about 7 years recently said "oh my god..... your not the way I thought you were AT ALL" (in a good way!)
It would be interesting though.... to see who my friends found for me. ...actually it would be hilarious! And, taking the whole chemistry thing out, cos no-one can predict if your going to have that with another person I know who would find me the most interesting and possibly husband material man. ... (and whats funnier is I can see them eye-rolling and sighing reading this.... I dont want you to actually do it... it was just a thing I wanted to post about!!! Panic not lovely!!! )

Well - I'd hardly be able to find one here, now would I? Even if you wanted me to!
And anyhow - I'd be conflicted - no one is good enough for you, far as I'm concerned.
yeah....did think of that, you know... the whole time travel dating thing!!!
.... really.... they are!!!
giggle. xx
No. They're not.
Re time travel dating - have seen it in the movies so it must be do-able....
