Where is the best place to meet someone….

[BananaSlug]

I started to think meeting someone at work would probably be the best place to meet someone. So many teachers at my children’s school have got married and are having babies I guess that’s what made me think about it at least not having to go through the awful thing known as OLD. I work from home so not a possibility however a few people have said to me that it would be a bad place to meet someone as most affairs start at work apparently?! So old gets such a bad rep now meeting someone at work is also not a good place so where exactly is a good place to meet someone? 🤔

Hobbies, pubs, gigs, festivals. I've met men at all of those.

Think of the sort of men you'd like to meet - where would they be on a Friday night or a Sunday afternoon? Go there.

GreyCarpet nailed the options but I'd like to add you can bet your bottom dollar that if you've dashed out to the shops for some milk with your hair a mess, no makeup on, wearing joggers and a tshirt you spilled your dinner down... yep, that's when you'll meet him

Laughing at these as men don't tend to approach women on the street anymore well they don't to me anyway! Did when I was younger though. If it was so easy though why do so many resort to online dating?

Ask friends to set you up! Always better to go within social circle. Someone always might know someone

Of course men don't aopproach random women in the street - but if you attend things like gigs, pubs, festivals etc then you get talking to people and meet that way.

I always think hobbies are the best places to meet both friends and partners. You've got a mutual interest already. Sharing a particular passion can be a terrific foundation for something long-lasting.

I was responding to the poster that said at the shop 🤷‍♀️

No way is dating someone from work is a good idea. I think the saying goes ‘ don’t s**t where you eat’
For every one that been successful, there will be more that had a hellish experience

I dont understand the affair comment, you can more easily ascertain their marital status if you work together than some random person spinning a story online. At work, he is likely to be more honest than an online date because many people know his real identity. People say dont date at work not because you'll end up in an affair but because it could impact your career and finances if there is a problem.
Men are still approaching in person, if you look like you are open to being approached but the best bet is hobbies, sports clubs.

No I didn’t get it either but 2 people said it but if they are going to cheap at work they will cheat regardless of whether you work together or not?!

Met my bf at my mums house. She had 2 lodgers at the time. He was one of them. Bit of a class difference between me and him but I was brought up working class so it can work. But before him my husband I met him.on faceparty lol
