Pink Admits To Never Dating
OCT 8, 2008 AT 09:07 AM
Pink recently admitted that she's never been picked up before at a bar or casually dated men that she's met at random. Every relationship she's been in has included a man who was a friend first.
"I meet boys all over the place. It’s just that I don’t ever go on
dates. I have never been on a date. I don’t believe in that, it has to
be organic… I have never met anybody in a bar.
"Lately I have been hearing from a lot of people, like married couples,
who have met in a bar. I’m always amazed. So maybe that is where I am
going wrong."
How did you meet your current partner? Bill was a friend in college first. Then we started to date. But I've dated prior to that in the way that Pink is talking about.
I met my husband when the two of us walked off of an airplane heading for a 3-day interview process at a university--we were being interviewed for fellowships, and we were supposed to be competing with each other!
It sounds strange, but from the very first conversation, we both knew something clicked. By the time we left 3 days later (and we both won the two available fellowships!), we were on our way to falling in love. 18 months (and 2/3 of a masters degree) later, we were married. That was over 7 years ago, and we're happier now than we were at the beginning. It was such a strange experience, because we're both scholars/academics, so neither of us fits the spontaneous, happy-go-lucky, see where it takes you stereotype. We're both studious, and cautious, and not big risk-taker. But we just *knew*.

my love and i were friends for years before we officially started dating, i actually dated one of his friends first, but that didnt work out haha. we are happily in love and dating (living together!) Make it a point to be friends first and foremost, it sure makes a solid relationship
definitely agree...friends first. actually i met my husband thru his mom...she & i worked in the same office together...one day we shared a coke & i just knew in that moment he would be my husband...that was 24 years ago...but i swear it seems as if it were just yesterday...
My husband and I were friends first, too. He worked for my uncle and the minute I saw him, I was enthralled. He says he felt the same. We had to secretly date for a while, as he was an employee, so it was very fun and exciting! This year was our 20th anniversary. :-)
We are the one's that met at a bar one very drunk night lol and the day after we met up and from that day on we knew we would fall inlove and get married and 5 years later we are the happest we both have ever been and have two beautiful boys and life couldnt get this perfect

I am just like Pink, i do not date or pick up guys in bars. I am the worst single girl. Two long relationships of 4 years each meeting one through friends and the other at school i have no idea where the good ones are hiding! if anyone knows please fill me in!
Duh, you gotta learn to love yourself by yourself first, and then you'll find the right guy. Quite using your relationships as a crutch and get to know yourself!
Yeah same here...when i decide to give it a chance and think "ok it can't be worst than the last time/one"...it always proves me wrong...my sister said that i just fall for the wrong type of guys...still can't help it

I'm a local reporter who was working on a story about local breweries. I saw my boy and thought he was cute, but the place was slammed. And I've never been the girl to go ask a guy out.
Before I left, the owner approached me with the guy and said, "What about interviewing a bartender?"
At the end of the interview, he asked me to grab a drink with him. That was almost three years ago.

My boyfriend and I met through friends, but he was the first guy to not be my friend before we went out- we had only met once when I was casually seeing someone else!! That ended, and he found out through the girl who introduced us, and the very next week we went on a 13 hour date!! Three and a half years later, and going strong!!
My husband and I met at a bar.....
We played cat and mouse for nearly a year (I had a boyfriend, but kept running into him wherever I went). Long story short, lost the idiot I was dating, went on my first date with my now-husband and knew right then and there we would get married....
Got engaged 5 months later (yep, 5 months) but waiting almost 2 years to get married... my older brother was getting married the next year and I didn't want to stress my parents out =) We have been married over 10 years and have 4 beautiful children....
Life is good =0)

We met at a bar and had (what I thought to be) a one night stand. Then We kept bumping into each other everywhere and eventually dated and got married.
met my boyfriend in a drunken-nightclub-setting. that's how our relationship started. lots of booze, parties, dancing to loud music...
we are not into the drunken-party-stuff anymore, but still very much into each other :)
My husband and I actually met through work. We worked at the same place and started dating. We took it slow in case something happened and we were stuck working together (that would have been awkward!). But we went on our first date and haven't spent a day apart yet. That was 6 years ago. =)
I met him in Paris. He was living there and I went there for a week or so to visit a friend. However, I had to stay with my friend´s friends (his apartment was too small) and one of those people I stayed with was him. Knew it when I saw him. As we didn´t live in the same city I though it would be just a night one stand, but my intuition knew something big might happen. We kept in touch for almost two years and kept visiting each other regularly before I finished my university and moved in together. Unbelievable, but everything is going so well. Like a fairy tale. No need to say he was my first. First love, first sexual partner. Just as it was supposed to happen. Yeah, I did lose my virginity in Paris... And with a man I want to spend the rest of my life with... Can it get any better? ;)))
My husband of 2 years and I met at a bar that's sort of more of a "lounge" downtown San Diego 4 1/2 years ago. It worked for us!! It wasn't too loud so at least we didn't have to strain to hear each other. I always tell people to think "If I'm at this bar then someone else 'normal' might be here too."
25 years ago, I was my wife's math tutor for Discrete Mathematical Structures.
But that only tells part of the story. I stalked her. I saw her and really liked her. So I figured out who she was and what her class schedule was. I worked as a computer programmer for the school and had access to everyone's schedule. Then I just made sure to be walking down halls that I knew she'd be walking down. One day, she was eating lunch with someone I knew (and had tutored through Calc 2) and I took that opportunity to eat lunch, too. And that's how we met. She had just flunked a test and my friend suggested that she use me as a tutor. She got a 93 and an 85 on the next two tests and was able to graduate.
We dated for 3 years and have been happily married for 22. We were together for 5 years before she found out I had stalked her. She had thought she chased me.
And that is a successful stalk, if I do say so myself.
that;s a bit freaky!

I married my high school sweetheart, we have been together for 13 years, and married for 9. I had a boyfriend when he came up to me, but he made me promise that I'd let him know as soon as I broke up with him.Three days later I tapped him on his shoulder during lunch and told him: Done!. It was the best decision of my life.
why am i not surprised?
I met my husband through my ex boyfriend. I was 16 and dating this guy. His friend who was in the military was visiting for his birthday, and I liked him on sight. We were just friends for a year and a half until I broke up with my boyfriend. Then we got together, got married, and we've been married for two years!

my boyfriend was the best friend of my fiancee (that unfortunatly :-( died 3 years ago suddenly. He helped me, well we helped each other, get through the grief, and well, ended up together. He respects the fact that my I will always love my fiancee, but we have a strong bond and great respect for each other. I don't believe that I will ever love someone like I did my soul-mate. I really hope things work out for me and my boyfriend though, although it will never be the same....
wat do you guys think?
Im only twenty...but we started dating when we were 16 but met when we were 11...we went to middle school together and didn't really ever talk to each other until grade eleven in high school! Been together since then, going to be for a long time!
