Where and how did you meet your mate?
Was just wondering where did you guys meet your darlings, how did you meet them and how did you court them?
Will serve as a very good reference for S.A.D.s like me. S = Single A = Available D = Desperate

Re: Where and how did you meet your mate?
at least for me and most of the pple around me.. we meet our spouse at school..
i also have got friends who joined SDU activites and met their wives there.. no stigma there as they recognise the fact that they can't really meet girls in their working time ... joining the SDU activities gives them a chance to meet girls and frankly, they (including the girls) all know the main objective is to settle down so i guess the courtship started with the end objective of marriage ... no ambiguity there.. or you can take some language class.. there are bound to have some ladies there and you can always take the opportunity to revise lesson or join them for projects, a quick meal to discuss schoolwork or practise the language etc etc etc.. good luck!!!! |

Re: Where and how did you meet your mate?
This is a very nice topic to talk about.
I met mine 7 years ago in the land of the rising sun (Japan). I was there on a student exchange thingy. I did something bad when I was there. I owned up to the deed and returned with my sweetheart to sg. It was hard at 1st but time is a damn good healer for us. My parents played a great part too. We made a point to learn each others strength and weaknesses. In turn, I can safely say we are a contented couple since. |

Initially, when I went, I thought quite a number of the gals .... like a bit old. Backgrounds were so diverse too. Went for their activities twice and its like really waste money. The first one was my fault... never take initiative to keep in touch. The 2nd one was lagi best, keep in touch and the girl (or rather auntie) didn't sound very keen to develop anything. It works for some people. For me, I think its Tian Yi. Every gal I know... sure no good outcome. I spend money to know each one of them better, but in the end there is no guarantee. Branded cafes and offering to pay for everything. But, wtf.... this world doesn't reward chivalry and generosity. The unthinking generous are the real fools.... But, if not fools, there wouldn't be free lunches. sigh..... Behind each pursuit is this haunting reminder... "no guarantee". Its just as bad as buying 4D. You can pump whatever savings you have and get.... nothing. To quote this friend, "Nothing is certain in this world, except death and taxes." I'm sure all guys can be as caring once they find the right person. Reality is, who is the right person. How many of us can tahan bumming into the wrong one so often and almost everyday? The continuity of SBF shows just how weak that link is ... between Singapore guys and gals. If I had not spent money at SDU and those stupid unworkable dates, I can go on a tour to China for one month. Some say that bo pian, the money must spend. If not for carrot heads like me, SDU and their agencies all close shop liao. Fact that SDU is still alive and kicking .... and not closed down by zheng hu proves that it doesn't work. People who started it is still bearing that silly fool's hope. The existence of a social imbalance necessarily means the survival of certain peoples... what an irony.

my plan initially is to try as hard as i can through the "natural way" first... means through school, at work or clubbin etc. Then if few more yrs still really no luck & i wan to settle down, then last resort is SDU & matchmaking agencies... bro, ur words remind me of a good fren... he always willing to spend money in getting to know the gal better (with no ulterior motives), rely a nice guy who bring his date to restaurant & cafe, not hawker centre, so that she can dine in comfort... But gals tend to take these nice guys for granted, i guess? Nowadays when i know a gal, i jus no longer have the zeal to do so much for her.. not because i can't bear to part with my money, but probably cos i've been disappointed one time too many... sometimes i wonder how many wrong turns can a person endure... each time after a setback, i will hide myself for awhile before picking myself up ..... only to meet with another disappointment... actually i dun care abt the wasted money or time, but it's difficult to keep my fighting spirit when the outcome is always so discouraging...
