Where to Meet a Mate
By | February 8, 2010
It can be hard to meet that special someone, especially these days when everyone is so busy. Gone are the days of elegant parties when the host would take care to introduce single men and women that he thought might like to strike up a friendship or a romance. With the social structure broken down, many people are left to wonder how they will every meet a mate. These are some suggestions on ways to find that special person.
r
rAll humans crave companionship. Especially as people approach certain milestones, like turning 30, they may start looking for a person with whom they can settle down and build a life. This can be particularly stressful for women, as they watch their friends get to have the fun of being brides, picking out a bridal gown and jewelry, flowers, etc. Many a woman, no matter how independent and successful she may be, has watched all her friends go down the aisle and wondered when she will the one picking out bridal jewelry and bouquets.
r
rSo how does a man or woman set about finding a person with whom they can settle down? Personal introductions are still a great way. You have the advantage of meeting a new friend who comes with recommendations. In other words, your mutual acquaintance thinks you may enjoy each other’s company and he or she is a nice person in general, not some kind of crazy stalker (always a plus!). Be open with your friends if you are hoping to meet someone so that they know that you are open to their suggestions.
r
rThere are certain types of establishments of which it is said that “the house makes the introduction”. What that means is that the people that you meet there are not exactly complete strangers, more like friends that you have not met yet. Chances are that you have something in common with them. Churches and schools are the most common of these places. A place of business might also fall into this category, but workplace romance can be a risky proposition, and many companies flat our forbid it.
r
rBelieve it or not in the era of Internet dating, there are still old-fashioned matchmakers out there. I once met one at a party, and she had a very high success rate of putting together couples who would eventually get married. The nice thing about a matchmaker is that, unlike a dating service, she spends time will all of her clients individually; since she gets to know them personally, she is much more able to match up compatible people than a computer. Matchmakers often specialize in certain religious or ethnic groups; the one I met worked exclusively within the Jewish community.
r
rThen there is the Internet. Many people have certainly found their future husbands or wives through an online dating service like eHarmony or Match.com. There is no longer the stigma that used to be attached to finding a spouse this way. Online dating sites, however, have some definite disadvantages to them, including potential safety concerns. Exercise caution before meeting anyone you meet on the Internet in person.
r
rFinally, keep your eyes and heart open to other possibilities. I once lived in a neighborhood where it was known that single professionals shopped at a certain same grocery store on Friday evenings hoping to lock eyes with someone in the produce department. Maybe in your neighborhood there is a bookstore or a cafe where people with interests similar to yours spend time. If you are having a hard time meeting people, think about signing up for an interesting class or volunteering. You may meet that special person, and even if you do not, at least you will be enriching your life.

Camping in Cherokee, NC

Camping in Cherokee, NC
If you plan to visit Cherokee, North Carolina, be sure you include CAMPING in your stay.
Indian Creek Campground is family-friendly, features hot showers [clean bathhouses], and welcomes all campers & camping gear: in tents, RVs, pop-ups, you name it. There are cabins and RV rentals available; even a double-wide trailer to rent. They have primitive tent sites, camp sites with water and / or electricity hookups, and some sites include sewer, so no matter how you like to camp, you can do it at Indian Creek Campground. They are open from late March through October.
We camped by the beautiful rolling Bunches Creek at Indian Creek Campground in July; it was beautiful, and the hosts are friendly. We saw all kinds of camping tents and screen gazebos while we were there; we felt right at home. Bunches Creek is a stocked trout stream; we even saw some folks catch a few. Licenses are available at the campground office and are required. Some of the best sites in the campground are right along the creek’s edge, numbers 9, 10, 11 & 12. They’re perfect for a camping tent, solo or family size, or a carefully manuevered trailer.
If you are hauling a trailer of any kind, you’ll want to be sure and take the route that goes up NC 19, through the town of Cherokee, and up Big Cove Road. Coming into town from US441 is not recommended if you are pulling anything at all. For this trip, we decided to ‘rough it’ and not take the camper. We were tent campers this trip!
We enjoy camping in our Eureka! N!ergy family tent because we can have electrical amenities without the fuss and mess of strung-out drop lines. We were spoiled by our electric percolator and skillet when we camped in a pop-up camper, so when we decided to ’simplify’ life and revert to family tent camping, we chose the Eureka! brand featuring electricity! They even have accessories, like the E!Power Vacuum, to inflate the air mattress that supports the old bones! Talk about luxury tent camping!
At Indian Creek, they have fire rings at each campsite; be sure and take firewood; it was very cool at night, even in July!
You will definitely want to go into town. There are native-run shops [look for the signs], and you’ll want to check out the Cherokee Bears; a great exhibit that will take you around town. I’m working on a slide show and will link it here when it’s finished. They’re extremely creative and it’s a great project. The Oconaluftee Island Park is really worth part of a day, too; it’s just beautiful! We didn’t go to the casino, but that’s an option as well, for those over 21. The Blue Ridge Parkway runs nearby and is a beautiful day’s drive, as well.
When your day is done, come back up the mountain to your home away from home at Indian Creek Campground. Enjoy Western NC and the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains!
