With dating apps becoming popular these days, and almost 40% of couples meet online, isn’t it nice to do it the old way and meet someone offline?
Well, if you are kind of a romantic and want to connect with someone you meet in person, here are 5 places to meet someone new, whether you are looking for new friends or a life companion.
1. School
19% of couples meet at school or college.
If you are thinking about finishing college or taking a course to move forward in your career, you can enroll at a school, where you can find someone with the same interests as you.
Although getting the degree is your first priority, meeting someone is just a bonus.
2. Vacations
Although meeting someone on a vacation can lead to a long-distance relationship, you still have the chance to meet someone from the same city you live in, and that is already one thing you will have in common and talk about.
3. Bookstores
Some book stores have reading nooks where you can curl up and read your favorite book.
Who knows, you might even find someone reading the same book as you, which instantly gives you something to bond about.
4. Sporting events
It is possible to meet someone you can have a connection with at sports games, like baseball, football, or basketball.
You might even meet someone at a sports bar too. Even if you don’t support the same team, it is an
opportunity for playful banter that could instantly grow a connection.
5. Volunteer activities
If you have extra time on your hands, you can always meet someone doing volunteer activities, such as going to homeless shelters, environmental programs, etc.
The primary objective is to help, but as a bonus, you might get to meet someone who shares the same
passion as you.
