The traditional settings where people go to seek out romance are actually the furthest thing from romantic. Clubs and bars attract large groups of people dressed in their best, but the ususal blaring music and flow of alcohol does not exactly facilitate people getting to know one another on a very deep level. Many people do not even like stepping foot in these establishments, prefering the calm and quiet of their own home, making it that much harder to meet someone and try and work towards a real relationship.
