So I am just curious what people consider to be the best place to meet people who can potentially become their partner?
From my experiences at college, for me it has to be our local pub or even a place like the caf. I ahve also heard that people like grocery stores or even at a community event where they can potentially meet someone.

That's really hard to say. I'd say look for a place where you're likely to meet someone with a common interest. for example, if you like to perform, look to meet someone in those types of venues. However, one common interest will never be enough to make a relationship. that's what friends are for. I have my friends I talk about music with, friends I talk about spiritual beliefs with, friends I talk politics with, and so on. None of these people will ever be my significant other because we just don't share those deeper interests. Even if you look at pubs or bars, that still only guarantees one common interest, and maybe not even that. I'd say your best bet is just to get out and meet people in general. don't give yourself away too easily, but get to know people. Strike up conversations and see what you have in common.

Love is blind, I say. We cannot assure when it will happen and why it has happened. The theft cannot be done with the permission of cops, dear.

Raaj.

*digresses from topic for a second*.

ForReel, if you get that common posting error that seems to be happening a lot lately, it still actually posts whatever you say. It just looks like it didn't.

*goes back to topic*.

Why a wedding? Just curious? because everyone at the wedding is at least interested in celebrating love, and the commitment that comes with it? I, for one, know plenty of people that share my views about what love is. this doesn't mean we're soulmates. this doesn't mean that meeting your future soulmate at a wedding is an impossibility, but then again, nothing is really impossible.

I think a wedding is a good one.
It personifies the fact that your still single when you see someone else getting married, making you more down on yourself and singlness, and would therefore put you in the mood to find that someone else that much more quicker so its a perfect place.

It happens all the time. People meet at weddings. Everyone is in the mood and all, and it just works. I was half being silly though.
I know about the arror thinging, but was lazy and well. Lol

I've been trying to meet the right person on the zone for years now no luck so far though doesn't mean you can't though.

It's rare, but yes, that can happen. I wouldn't say it's your best bet, though. Lol.

I would say the zone is a good place to meet potential friends. Partners? Not so much.

I have to agree with that, although I've seen a very few promising relationships prosper on here, and just so you know, I'm only including those where the two people actually end up meeting in person, and spending a serious amount of time together, in person.

Hmmm, the best place to meet somebody. well, I'd say ... just in your normal, everyday activities. the bar, no, too many people looking for one-night stands there. Here? well, that's debatable. although meeting somebody at someplace of interest could work, provided you and that other person have something else in common than that. Also, I know what yall mean about weddings and feeling in the mood, as it were, to find somebody after. My mother just got married, for the second time, this weekend. and boy, did I ever have the single person blues that day ... Lol!

Yeah. it's easy to get those at a wedding.

I think a dance or a group dance lesson in which you get to dance with several partners and get to know them.

Meeting someone and getting to know them are two very different things. Just sayin'.

I don't think weddings are a good place to meet potential partners. Not lifetime partners anyway. I understand having the "It's a wedding and I'm single blues;" however, those kinds of feelings often lead to trouble and loneliness more than lasting love. As for the zone....no! I've made friends on here, but there aren't too many people I'd date on here. Sorry, but that's how I see that. I honestly don't know if there's a specific "Best Place" to meet a potential partner. Sure there are things you can do like get out more, make new friends, Etc., and that definitely increases your chances of at least meeting someone interesting, but sometimes I think people sometimes are put in your life when you least expect them. Sometimes things just happen. Not saying people shouldn't look or try to find someone, but I think people sometimes try too hard.

Very informative post, fatheful Angel. I am inclined to agree!

I don't know that here would be the *best* place to meet potential partners, though. People have found real love on here before, so it's not impossible, but it wouldn't go at the top of my list of places to recommend.

Post 28 by TechnologyUser2012 (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Monday, 09-Apr-2012 17:10:04

wouldn't be at the top of mine, either.
