5 new places to meet someone special
In a perfect world, the right person for you would come floating or strolling along your path, your eyes would meet and after an appropriate time, a lovely wedding would take place, with you and your chosen one as the stars of the show. However, what has just been described is not a regular or likely occurrence (sorry), and sometimes, instead of eyes meeting across a beautiful field, you meet in rather unlikely places.
The following are places where people have met the loves of their lives:
At school
Perhaps you ended up being laboratory partners by accident, or ended up behind each other in a lineup at the cafeteria. Maybe you both went to the professor at the same time to ask a question, and the prof ended up suggesting that the two of your pair up as study buddies. Whatever the circumstances, matches made in school have the benefit of ensuring that you have some things in common (course of study, or other interests if you meet outside of class).
At a club
This is every parent’s nightmare but I know two couples that have been together for over six years, and both couples are married! To each other! Clubs are notorious for not being the best place to meet someone you are interested in a longterm relationship with: some go to clubs to make out-or more-with random strangers, while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, in some cases. However, it is possible to triumph. Think about it: if you go to clubs and you’re not such a bad person, why can’t someone of the opposite sex who is also not a bad person be at the same club? And why can’t she approach you at the bar? Makes sense, right?
On the bus (public transportation)
I was told a cute story of a girl whose eyes met with a guy’s at the back of the bus. He apparently smiled and said hello to her. She smiled back but didn’t speak, thinking that he talks to girls on the bus all the time. He took her for a snob for not responding. A couple more encounters at their place of worship convinced her that maybe he wasn’t so bad after all and they got married exactly five days ago so I guess the bus is as good a meeting place as any!
Through an ex-significant other
I know someone who dated a guy for a couple of weeks and ended up marrying this guy’s friend…who she had actually known before she dated the ex. In fact she met her ex through her husband! Crazy but true.
Matchmaking mamas
Mothers who were childhood friends who had lost touch reunited and told their children that their best friend forever’s (BFF’s) child was worth getting to know. For once, perhaps, both children listened, and within a year they had married and relocated so they were in the same country. Thirteen years later they are still married with two children.

This is why putting your best foot forward is always a good idea-you never know who you might run into in the laundromat, grocery store or even at a used book store! Keep your eyes opened if you’re looking for love.
