An Unexpected Opportunity

The freedom to take advantages of an unexpected opportunity can come with being single, but it is not always recognized at the time. Those who do not have a partner to check in with when being invited at the last minute might feel they must go because they have no excuse, and there is no other person to give them one. When invited on a spur-of-the-moment double date, they might feel trapped. It could work out that they like the other person, and it might even result in the missing relationship they have sought for years.

Most people anticipate having a bad time when they go on a double date, and they are often correct. Their lack of enthusiasm is felt by all parties, and the person they are matched with could be less likely to be friendly. Those who find they are in this situation should alter their attitude, so being open to the possibility of at least making a new friend could lead them down the road to a pleasant experience.

Not all spontaneous double dates will end with a second couple finding each other, but they can at least make a new friend with their common experience. They might find they have enough in common for at least the beginnings of a relationship, and it does not need to be a romantic one. Making friends is a good part of life that is often overlooked. For those who are willing to look past their immediate circumstances, life could hand them a true friend who will remain with them for the rest of their lives.

There is no tried and true formula for meeting the right person, so every opportunity to meet someone new should be considered by those seeking a life partner. They might not be thrilled to be ambushed into a last minute double date, but it could result in a relationship that will return happiness to their world for the rest of their life.
