A question for you all.

How do you meet people?

Looking back on your relationships, your flings, your close friendships... how did you meet most of those people? Have you met your SO's in places different from where you met your friends? Do you pick up your flings in yet another place? How do you know the people you spend the most time with?

I'm curious. I know that everyone is different and approaches their various relationships in different ways. What about you, personally?

i meet most friends, etc., at school or work. last guy i went out with i met at the library. i tend to be friends with guys before i date them, and i don't really have flings, so no, i don't meet different kinds of relationships at different places.

interesting username, by the way. welcome to lit

I met a lot of my friends at school but most through common friends, my best friend for example happens to be the baby sister of one of my teenage guy friends.

I met my husband because he was chasing after one of my close friends who already had a boyfriend and once he saw me he started chasing her even harder to get my phone number. which she wouldn't give him but arranged so that we would get together so I could personally give it to him.

I am good friends with nightlife people (bartenders/barmaids and bouncers/doormen) so I am invited to a lot of great parties/evenings and I meet a lot of people there however most become no more than distant friends. if I was single that would probably be the place where I would pick up flings though.

I met my husband at college. I have met my friends and previous boy friends by being involved in hobbies I enjoy.

Met my ex through work, have been fuck/play buddies through craiglist, AFF and just being being bold about what I want....seeing a hot guy some where and engaging him in conversation that eventually leads to swapping phone numbers and a meeting.
Lots of people are very interested in talking to a tall, blonde who rides a big motorcycle too....

Looking back, almost every guy I hooked up with I either knew forever (grew up in a small town) or was introduced to me by a close friend or relative. The one exception was a guy I knew from online.

Since I left home, friends are mostly from work.

College, then work. Lately I've been meeting people at the gym, while walking the dog and through writer workshops and online groups. Come to think of it, I meet people easily and just about anywhere I go. In terms of partners, I met my first husband at work when I was just 19 years old, and my current husband through a writer group when I was 40. I still meet potential partners all the time in all kinds of places, but I'm monogamous, so when I have a husband I don't follow up on the opportunities. If would-be suitors don't insist on looking for a romantic involvement, they can become friends, and that works. I have only a few close friends, the kind I confide in, but lots of casual/professional friends.

I met most of my best friends and my husband thru online role playing games. I don't recommend this for most people, unless you're really okay with putting everything on the line for a good chance of heart break.

School, work, and volunteer activities.

School, college, university... and one woman I met on dive training. Education is a great way to meet people

Everywhere!
The key thing I had to learn was to be polite & friendly, smile, and when in conversation with a new person ask questions.

It sounds so easy, but I have a friend who is a really pretty woman whole continually has a scowl on her face. She is single and complains she has a hard time meeting men.

I have met most of the people when I am not trying to meet people. So I end up with a select group of people that I really like
