Default Where did you meet a BF/GF

Just wanted to get an idea of where people seem to meet good quality people. I know people always say that you cant meet quality people in a bar but that just isnt always true...because I am a quality person and I am in a bar from time to time......

So where did you meet a "dateable" person? Bar, Online, grocery store, church......

I was in my 30's when I got back into the dating scene (met my ex in high school so I was really never in the dating scene!)...and I met my now husband online (dating site) I also dated a few from friend fix-ups. I met a few people at the gym and local book store (used to go by myself when they had live music).

I met my boyfriend at work. The electronics section of wal-mart is the place for love, let me tell you, haha.

Dear stumped,
Since i have been in marital turmoil, i have often thought how would i date again? Or would i even want to put myself out there to get hurt again?

But if i were to do it, I would develop a network of friends. Simply doing things you like along with others similar to yourself. And by natural laws, you will eventually find someone that you have a lot in common with who is not only your lover, but your freind.
when we try to find someone, that is when we find the wrong one.
But just enjoy hanging out with friends and dating that way when the right one comes along, you will have had enough experience to know.. ya.. this is it.

hope it's helpful.

I'm not a fan of meeting men in bars, I'd even choose the workplace over a bar.

I think friends of friends people that move in your social circles, you know something about them and they're not complete strangers.

I met an adorable guy at high school in our last year. We were friends for two years before becoming involved and we've been together ever since.

I met my husband online. We were both beta testers for match.com way back when it first started in 1995. Before that, I met other guys either doing activities we both liked (skating), or through work or through friends.

Hmmmm..interesting.

I have been trying the online dating thing and let me tell you people are weird!

If I go by what I have met..it is acceptable for a man to TEXT you naked pics and also ask for them...what is the world coming to????

Geeeez, I think that's called "jumping in at the deep end"! PS, was that a deal breaker for you or not?

Lol Mark. Yes, there are alot of perverts and weirdo's out there, especially on those sites. The GOOD news is it's easy to weed out the strange ones

My H managed to email me and just said that he was an eagle scout and loved camping and had custody of his two kids and would we all like to go camping sometime.

Four months later, after about 2000 emails, hundreds of chats and several phone calls, we finally went on a date. And yes, we went camping that spring
