A reader sent me this. Quite thought-provoking.
Where are we in the West supposed to meet someone we’d like to marry, or at least be committed to? If we graduate from university without having found someone, we assume we’ll meet someone over the next few years. But where exactly?
In many workplaces, romantic relationships are frowned upon, and people are often averse to dating someone in the office for fear it will end badly and they will still have to see their ex-lover on a daily basis. We are told that it’s best to meet friends of friends. We all think this is a brilliant idea, until we realize that we’ve already met all of our friends’ friends … two years ago.
