Why is your friend trying to hit on girls at a bar? That's just seems so pathetic and lonely. I know I am going to get flamed for suggesting this but there are those matching services all over. From what I know first hand, they work. It did for me. I saw my future wife's picture at that office and I knew there was an immediate attraction. On our very first date, which I thought was going to be a just a quicky dinner and then dump her, the date lasted for over 6 hours. We both fell in love that first night. We both knew it from that first date that we would marry. We've been married now 20+ years with a 14 yr old boy and 20 yr old boy/man? damm, that takes a lot to get used to
And we still love each other. We want to kill each other sometimes but hey, that's marriage.
And after 23 years together, I still think she's pretty and cute.
Tell your friend to at least to think about it. I have no idea what those services are like now but i know of a number of success stories like ours.
