organizations or clubs which involve things you are interested in. Or clubs that are strictly for dancing. Malls. I think it is harder to find someone when you are looking. I think usually you’ll just stumble upon them and hit it off.

i actually think bars are a horrible place to meet new people of “substance”.

one night stand? yes.

i have met the majority of people i have dated where i work, or through someone i work with.

It could just be me, but work seems like a not so good spot to look for a date. Think about this, if the person you go on a date with tells about an embarrassing moment that either happened on the date or just slips out in a story you told, you could be made fun of at work for the rest of your career there. It could possibly even get bad enough that you’ll never be taken seriously at that job again. Then there’s the worse scenario where you date for a while then go through a bad break-up. I’m pretty sure everyone can see where that could lead.

If your gonna look for a date at work, I guess just be super selective and careful. xacrox and DS have the right idea though, just go somewhere your interested in that way you’ll most likely find someone that’s compatible with your interests.

Grocery store, if you’re a man looking for a woman. And, um, computer store (?) if you’re a woman looking for a man.

My work is a hotspot for women. But dating someone from work sucks cuz people love to talk about you for some reason LOL

regardless of the spot why not just try to be more open to meet new people and be more adventurous to new possibilities

Get involved in things you’re interested in—church if that floats your boat, knitting circles, mixed-sex (or gay, or lesbian) athletic leagues, board game nights, reading groups, political activism. Be yourself, be out (if you’re not straight, or even if you are), be friendly, and be open to meeting new and interesting people.

Work is a minefield. If you meet someone and it goes well, so much the better. If you meet someone and it goes poorly, well, you still have to work with the person.

I always meet new people at the hair and nail salons. Also where ever you go, make sure you smile at everyone. I smile at people all the time and every once in a while someone will start talking to me (and they’re not all crazy people)
