I can’t name a single person who doesn’t have some fantasies about being filthy rich. I’m quite certain that most people also have the same daydreams. Just look at the lines of people buying lottery tickets and you’ll see the stars in their eyes. My parents were by no means rich but not hurting for money. I always wanted the latest trends and my father would tell me that I was going to have to marry a millionaire just to keep up with my demands. While I knew he was joking, it was an idea that I considered. But how in the world do you marry a millionaire? Do you just walk up to people in the streets ask them if they’re rich and single? It’s a great fantasy but not one that most people have the pleasure of turning into a reality.

There are reality TV shows that allow people to compete for the opportunity to win the heart of and marry a millionaire. That just doesn’t seem to be the proper way to court and fall in love. But stuff like that brings in viewers and more viewers ensure profits for TV producers. If you really want to marry a millionaire make it happen. Just know that you might have to change your lifestyle before you even attempt to chase that dream. My father also told me that you are who you surround yourself with. If you want to be rich, surround yourself with rich people. Just make sure you are able to fit in. Normal people can’t marry a millionaire if they don’t play the part. Think about it, millionaires are probably well educated, worldly and live life in a certain manner. Remember Marilyn Monroe’s role in “How to Marry A Millionaire”? Pretend you’re her. Woo the lady or man that you’ve always dreamed of. I can’t say that just because you may get lucky enough to marry a millionaire, you’ll be happy. As much as you may think money buys happiness and for me it just might, it may have the opposite affect. Perhaps after the ownership of expensive materials gets boring, you may realize how much you don’t enjoy your lifestyle. I’m not sure why, so don’t ask. But it could happen. You’ve seen the shows and movies. There’s always the lady who does marry a millionaire and has a miserable life. Maybe he’s never around. Maybe he has girlfriends all over the place. Maybe she’s lonely and empty inside. Maybe they need to spend some of their earnings on therapy.

I certainly didn’t marry a millionaire but he is one in a million. We struggle to pay our bills some months and have arguments about money. Sure, I’d absolutely love to have a huge house and expensive cars, constant shopping sprees and go on exotic vacations. In fact that’s what I think about when I’m waiting behind all of those hopeful people in the lines to buy lottery tickets. I don’t need to marry a millionaire, I just need a few lucky winning numbers.

Singles groups are something that you either love or hate. For some, they are grim necessity of life. I have a friend like this. He has been going to singles events for years and he despises them. Nevertheless, he has no idea how to meet a girlfriend in any other way. Although he has been introduced to friends of friends before he has never actually met a girl in a bar or at a concert. It has all been singles holidays, singles events and blind dates.

His problem with singles groups is that he finds the social interaction so artificial. There is a way that he would like to see his life but it is not how he really lives. He does not like singles groups for the same reason that he doesn’t like clubs, churches or government. He really doesn’t like the idea of belonging to an organization and thinks that the social relationships should be more free-flowing than this. Unfortunately, he is also painfully awkward. The singles groups give him a way to deal with this.

I have similar social problems but I have less reservations about singles groups. You see I know that they work. I find meaningful relationships in a single group activities all the time and they allow me to overcome my social anxiety issues. When you are in singles groups everyone is nervous. Everyone feels a little bit awkward about being there and everyone is very eager to get other people to like them. That means that it is easy to get past the usual social barriers. You would be amazed at how quickly deep, meaningful conversations arise at a single event. I know I was stunned the first time I witnessed it but it really is true. Singles groups beat the pants off of online dating.

Not all single groups are the same so you should be careful to find one that works for you. I made this mistake the first time I went. The singles club that I was at, you see, was not a conventional dating scene. It was more of a hookup club and I was in the market for a serious relationship at the time. Needless to say that singles group experience was pretty awkward. Now that I know which ones to look for I have a great time, make new friends and find meaningful relationships as well. All in all I have gained a lot from singles groups.
