When I was getting out of the marine corps I met my ex ex ex gf at a club, and it went great for us. She was there with her 2 gf's and I was with 3 of my buddies. We spotted them sitting by themselves and I was the one to walk up and say hello and invite them over to sit with us and chat.

They were all cool, but they blew me off at first and I figured it was done. As soon as one of my buddies went up to go to the bar tho they came over, and we sat there and talked, they made us get up and attempt to dance with them. We probly spent about 3 hours that night talking and stuff, it was great. As soon as my buddy came back tho they left lol, I guess 4:3 ratio is just bad I dunno.

So then I figured it was done, again, cause of d-bag coming back. So after they left, we left and started headin down the street to find somethin to do since it was a weekend. No cars on the street at all its a very quiet dark night, and out of nowhere this car comes speeding down the street a hundred freakin miles an hour, flashing its brights at us I'm thinkin **** guys we're about to get shot or somethin so we're all ready to take off.

Anyway the car pulls up on the curb next to us and the girl I was talking to all night, I talked to all 3 of them briefly but this girl I found right away that I really liked, she runs up and gives me a piece of paper with her name & number on it and says "This is what I call being spontaneous, CALL ME!" And we dated for the last 4 months I was stationed out there.

The only reason it didnt last longer was because when I got out, I came home to missouri. I was stationed out in 29 Palms Ca., she's in San Bernardino, Ca., I shouldof moved out there with her, she even offered it, but I had a job at home doing construction, I've been doing it since, I wouldn't of had anything in cali to make money and I didn't think the long distance relationship would work; I also didnt want to hurt her by having our relationship strained, eventually coming to an end.

Anyway we're still good friends we talk text and msg on myspace now and then. Just throwin this story out there I like it, I think its a good story. You can meet the right person at clubs/bars, though its probably very unlikely to happen, but its not impossible.

And we never had sex, not that I wasnt interested or she blew me off or she would of, I just didn't want to hurt her more than I knew I was going to eventually. I told her that first night we met that I was getting out soon and probably going home when I got out so she knew what she got herself into with me, we dated, every weekend I drove 2 1/2 hours out to see her and I never once regretted it. It was the best time of my life thus far.

That was one long night... eight years, my goodness. The sun must have stopped over Australia.

It's good to have friends in high places.

I met a woman once, when I was in my thirties, outside of a bar, after closing. We went home and had sex. We both did what we wanted, with a mutual wish and more than just consent: A desire.

You think I remember her name? Heck, I don't think we even introduced ourselves to each other.

The funniest part was that I hadn't been spending time in that bar. I was coming home from meeting some friends, and the bar was at the street car stop where I got off to walk home to my house. I had already stopped drinking altogether some years prior to that, but she was slushed.

At the time I was very proud of this, what with my instant charm and good looks to sweep a girl off her feet. But in retrospect I think it could happen to any guy and any girl, and will too, if they live long enough. It was just one of those things that happened because the timing was right, and if timing happens in a random fashion, that is 'good' timing, then it was bound to happen sooner or later. Like I said, now I think it was just one of those things. But at the time, when I was stupider, less experienced and less philosophical, I took full credit for being a really swell guy.

And these days I don`t know how people would be able to meet anyone at a bar. They are all empty. Most patrons go in groups of friends and there is no mixing whatsoever. That's the situation in Toronto at least. The bars have all become glorified restaurants, and the food is better than expected and better than in some other cheap restaurants.

The nightclubs with boom-boom music are crowded, true, but hardly anyone drinks there, the drinks are so expensive and the crowd is so young. Students and dollar-store cashiers. True, there is a lot of mickeys that get brought in, and I don't know, but maybe there are drugs there too. Why not? they are everywhere, why not exactly at a night club.

In Toronto the greatest concentration of handguns occur in police stations and in night clubs.

It's not easy being a gangsta in Toronto... The drive-bys gotta be done by 2am

I've met interesting people at bars, but no long lasting relationships.

Same here......

Never met anyone to date in a bar ... but have never spent much time in bars either - that may have something to do with it

One of my exes was met at a bar. It lasted 4 years. Not a good thing.

I have met some male friends in bars that I enjoyed talking to and hanging with on occasion but nothing serious just friends.
