Paul stopped by my place the other night. There was a time when I’d spend mosta my time with him chatting about Heartgirl rather than the other way round.
He’s still (kinda) living the life of a singleton – he’s got his front-runner – as’re lotsa my other friends. S’funny, the charm of being single’s the potential to meet someone that makes you not.
This salesman named Alan Stillman was tired of being single so he started a bar to pick up girlies on 63rd Street and 1st Ave back in 1965. Dunno if it worked but kinda shows what people’ll do to not be by their lonesome.
Which kinda makes me wonder why people don’t explore the avenues out there to meet someone appropriate.
Like online dating – dunno why anyone’s got anything against it. The actual meeting of a body makes it just as normal as anything else. Sides, how’s it any more likely you’re gonna meet your better half in some smoky bar?
Said it before, it’s like y’got this aunt named Match or something like that, who says to you, “I know that guy/girl that y’might like.” Plus, how often when you go out and about do you also get a resume of the person in front of your face?
Oh, the name of the joint that that guy Stillman started was TGI Friday’s – he also started Smith & Wollensky’s, the joint that HG brought me on my bday.
Y’probably aren’t gonna meet someone right for you in TGI Friday’s but you get my point.

i know this is a losing argument… but back in the day, before phones and computers.. ppl just met by good old personal contact. i know medicine and technology, etc., has grown light years. but can't relationships stay the way they were?
But it's just that first meeting. Real relationships happen just as they have for 100,000s of years.And, as the TGIF story says, it was always hard to meet people. Even online it's hard. The meeting of people has changed, but the getting to know people has not.
ok yah.. that's fair
