15 Ways To Meet A Guy Other Than Downloading The Infamous Tinder

In This Article:

OK, maybe I'm being dramatic.

I'm sure Tinder doesn't actually ruin lives; I have a friend in a happy relationship with a guy that she met on Tinder (Wow... that's what I said). BUT, I've definitely heard some horror stories from this app. I mean, come on ladies, we are queens and we deserve to be treated that way.

If Tinder is for you, GREAT, but if not, I promise, there are many other, more efficient ways to meet a guy... like "accidentally" bumping into him on your way to class.

FULL WARNING: This is a girl who has never been in a relationship lasting longer than 2 months giving you advice on how to meet a guy... take it at your own risk.

Your local coffee shop.

Okay, I'm old school. So, I've always said it I would meet my future husband in a coffee shop. Granted... that never worked out the best in high-school.

@my friends, y'all know what I'm talking about.

The checkout line at the grocery store.

I mean, who knows. Maybe you'll run into a Justin?

On your college campus.

Okay, but in all honesty, this is a lot more rare than the movies make it out to be. BUT, maybe you'll run into a guy who hates morning classes just as much as you do.

In class.

Maybe your Aaron Samuels is sitting right in front of you, right now.

Literally any other Social Media.

What happened to the good ol', "let me slide in your DMs?" That is a thing, right? I genuinely don't know.

Your favorite bands concert.

At least you'll know y'all have the same taste in music. I mean, what's more important than that?

At a red light.

Fun Fact: I've made a friend at a red light before.

At the bar.

My man Ed Sheeran knows what I'm talking about.

Walking your dog.

Dogs are ALWAYS a good convo starter.

Your next door neighbors attractive nephew.

Realistic? No. Possible? Yes.

At your favorite department store.

Grab ya girl friends and go shop for a boyfriend.

At your job.

If you're REALLY lucky, maybe you'll even meet you're very own Jim. I'm still looking for a Jim.

At the New Years party you didn't actually want to go to.

I promise ladies, we can have a High School Musical moment, too! Or maybe you're random midnight kiss will lead to a future relationship?

Are midnight kisses even still a thing? I wouldn't know.

A friend of a friend of a friend of your brothers.

It's possible, right? Unfortunately, I doubt they will be a Zac Efron.

A friend of a friend of a friend of your sisters.

Come on ladies, have some hope! It has to be better than Tinder!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
