I had heard one of my guests talk about how the National Museum was the setting for a date. She was quite impressed with the guy and eventually married him. People go to bars or parties to meet people. Well, there's also the National Museum.
I've seen it all in the course of guiding. Stolen glances. Silly remarks to start a conversation. There's actually a lot of sexual tension in a museum tour. I find it all amusing and can tolerate it for so long as the guests still give me their attention.
Many of my guests are actually quite endearing. In their attempts to seeking their roots and being awestruck with our collection, they become vulnerable. They bare their selves and become open to an encounter.
But if nothing happens, at least you'd have learned how great we are as a people.

antagal ko na rin niyayaya ang gf ko magpunta sa museum..
everytime mag LRT kami at mapapadaan sa area ng National Museum, sasabihin ko sa kanya yun.
Hindi pa ata siya nakukulitan sakin e, hindi pa kami nakakapag set ng date.
john -- most museums in the US have been doing a singles night. get a drink company to sponsor a paid bar, a chef who will provide party food, a dj who can play appropraite music and turn the hallway or the gallery into a three- to four-hours of party (with a fee, of course) get an event organizer. it's a great way to raise fund, sponsorship, subscription and awareness. it makes the museum accessible, hip and wider to a new set of audience. why must museums remain grim and stuffy? :)
