Here are my thoughts on the article and what they left out:. Certainly there are very different realities among the different types of people who reside in Minneapolis. Some may be more romantic; others even more bleak than the sad outline I provided above. I represent the something U of M grad who is still friends with mostly all her college friends, friends of those friends, and friends from work. Winter also plays a huge part in our disjointed dating scene. For over 6 months of the year, you are confined to the walls of your home, the numbers in your telephone and your Facebook chat list.
Making friends in the winter is nearly impossible. Gay and love dancing? Going through a never-ending existential crisis with a side of seasonal depression? See him once a week. I n a band? You see, folks? Those weird romances could have happened to anyone in any city across the country, even the world. Let it bring us together. F me on Facebook punkssss. Not everybody is going to get along, not everybody is going to like you and not everybody is gonna like me. Take solace in the fact that we all suck, and keep your eye out for that special person who sucks the least.
I believe the combined twin cities metro area is the 4th or 5th Largest in the country? Your point is.. And she didnt really out anybody anyway. Try the 16th. I do agree I seem to be not in the norm, nor the majority.. Would be nice if more people did it as well.
You sound like a really fun person full of optimism and positive, infectious energy! Want to hang out sometime? I truly believe that if one have feelings like the ones expressed in this article then, no matter what, you are predestined to dis-enjoy any experience.
If you in fact ARE and LIVE the way you want people to be when you interact with them, then your whole experience will be as you desire it to be. In fact, to the contrary. I have met SO many people at bonfires and backyard parties in November and December, post-holiday bitchfests in January, kite-flying on Lake Harriet in February, snow-tubing in Marchβ¦.
