What are other ways someone can meet people BESIDE a bar, club, party, work or online?

Anytime, anyway, anywhere really.

I met my wife because of my hatred for the St. Louis Cardinals. She'd just moved to the area. We were out to breakfast with some mutual friends and the Chicago Cubs had just won the World Series. Someone at the table was wearing a Cardinals ball cap or t-shirt or something. I was in the middle of a gleefully condescending rant about how much greater the Cubs were than the goofy Cardinals. She walked in in the middle of that, having recently moved here from an area where they are mostly Cardinals fans (she's not from St. Louis). She didn't like that too much.

[caring__1]

Do volunteer work.

Join an interest club.

Get involved with an organization that supports a cause you believe in.

Participate in a community garden or community theater.

Share your creative endeavors.

Teach something you excel at.

[TheSpaceGnome]

The last 2 you mentioned I feel like might be the path I need to take to find an SO.

[LovingLoverReturned]

When someone comes to give you a service. Or you go to them for a service.

At a game in the stadium or any type of interesting event.

While running errands.

Through mutual associates.

Lol Randy Orton's wife met him at an event like a a concert.. don't recall exactly. They saw each other and instantly felt attraction and started chatting.

[dolemite89]

the fact that walmart is on the list tells me everything i need to know about u 😧

[jennifer_bloom]

A house of worship, an art event, a charity event, a concert, a disco hall, an anime convention, a painting event at a restaurant, a swimming pool, a vacation resort, a coffee shop, a movie theatre, etc...

[andreasderjuengere]

My spontaneous first ideas:

Beach, bus stop, grocery store, shopping 'mall', public bath, sex toy shop, police station, political demonstration, at red traffic lights, cemetery, gardening centre, public park, hospital waiting zone, women's toilets, school shooting bystanding, music concert, public execution, Greenpeace membership, under umbrella at a surprise rain shower, general 'tourist attractions', pawn shop, charity events, walking the dog, watching street artist, being street artist, singing loudly in a library, queueing up somewhere, ...

[Aerissa_Jade]

In person, once had a great boyfriend that I met literally waiting in line for an amusement park ride. We started talking a lot, decided to go on it together and spent the rest of the day going on rides together and even went swimming together. By the end of the day, was decided to stay in contact and we dated for awhile after that.

[AlphaMale1]

I meet women while grocery shopping. I simply ask them about how to make or cook something and they are pros at it and eager to discuss it. Also, in a grocery store there are a lot of people there so it is a safe place to meet. Sometimes I will go shopping and have just a few things in the shopping cart as I am there to see if I can meet someone new. When I do it can turn out to be a free date.

[HighValue]

If you are into board games, Table Top RPGs, or card games like Magic the Gathering, you can try your local hobby shop. Some of them have game nights for specific types of games and you could potentially meet someone with the same interests if you happen to be into that stuff.

[Bricealan]

I got Open Water Diver certified, 7 years ago, and have done some boat dives and gone to Catalina to dive. Guys get to see and meet many half naked women and MAYBE naked women doing that sport.

I take YOGA, many women and men there

I take Violin AND piano lessons and meet people there.

[Massageman]

I'll assume you are looking for a guy. When you are at the hardware store, as your "target guy" a question about lock washers, flat-head screws, or ball peen hammers. When you are shopping, have him help you lift the big watermelon into your cart. Work at the neighborhood Food Pantry, Habitat for Humanity, Dog Rescue, etc.

[Anonymous]

is always options , the places your thinking of would be the types of spots your not really expecting to meet someone.

i've never really meet anyone at a thrift store when shopping but always see girls there so i guess its possible

it depends what your interests and comfort level is , as to where else you could potentially look

[Static_In_The_Attic]

If you want to meet people you have to get out & greet people. A city park, amusement park or a grocery store or a home improvement store is another place you can meet people as well. Sign up for a 5k or sign up for a walk in your area.

[MementoMori_]

I had a girl walk up to me in a grocery store recently and after we talked she gave me her phone number.

I just wish she didn't! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[SiberFox]

Find a hobby, find a group for said hobby, hope they're are kindred souls enjoying said hobby in said group.
Otherwise, volunteering can be good and saying "hi" to cute strangers can yield mixed results.

[DoctorSex]

Doing an activity you enjoy. Sign up for a course in the field you'd love to explore.

Kind regards,

DoctorSex

[DermalPunch]

Literally... anywhere. Doctor's office... little league... pharmacy... in the neighborhood (that's a bit delicate though)... public transit... hospital.

[dustybiker]

Getting out of your comfort bubble and trying new things. Go where you don’t normally go. Take a class. Learn something new.

[mobiusforniner]

Church. Lots of horny single women at church. Hell, even horny married women. Gives the phrase "oh god" a new meaning

[mickmrly]

What type of church was that? When I go to church for things there are always a lot of older people, young parents with kids and almost 0 people in the middle, let alone single people.

[mobiusforniner]

@mickmrly got to a Mormon YSA ward. Lots of horny single girls. Many of them. are just there to find guys. The die hards will convert you though

[mickmrly]

Fascinating.

[AviatorTom]

Grocery stores (especially the produce section) and church have historically been good places to meet people.

[NathanDavis]

I'll be at Costco tomorrow... morning hours, though

[Summeroflove]

Church. School. Anywhere really that there is other people

[humanearth]

31 years ago I meet my wife at a Frederick's Of Hollywood Lingerie store

Yes we are still together today

[virginloserguy]

Use a dating agency or a professional matchmaker.

[exitseven]

I went to college at night. I was married but there were some single women in my classes that were very nice.

[andreasderjuengere]

Applied smartness: it also explained why you were out all night :D

[exitseven]

@andreasderjuengere no, it was nothing like that.

[TakingitEasy15243]

One of the best ways is through family/friends. Although your options may be limited then

[TroyDT2]

Doing things you actually enjoy. Museums, zoos, a convention, a boat club, tennis club, running, biking, etc.

[Fireguy17]

Volunteer organizations that interest you, church, work, activities.

[OnTheLevel]

Join a club involving something that interests you. The upside is that people you meet there at least share that interest.

[maximumpower]

Church, volunteer groups, classes (incl. adult education), interest groups, clubs - just to name a few.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Why mention church without mentioning other temples? Oy vey!

[maximumpower]

@HippieVeganJewslim take a deep breath, healthy hit of your weed, think about it and then come to the realization that you're a whiny bitch, which is why nobody wants you around - or gives a damn what you're whining about.

[art84]

Church like a single group for college students.

[Luopio27]

Movie scenes, through mutual friends, in public transport.

[Iron_Man]

A Park the Mall church coffee shops book stores

[HippieVeganJewslim]

For me, around my building complex and outside. Other answers are good.

[BLP11520]

Grocery stores I have heard it has happened, church. School, College. Found my wife at college.

[TonightYouu]

Volunteering

festivals

conventions

[Hardworkingguy]

Perhaps volunteer work or playing sports at the park

[MiseriaCantareAFI]

Activities, that don't involve any of those things

[Kingofkings1992]

Grocery store, farmers market, the gym, if you like nature maybe a national park. Coffee shops might be another good option.

[Anonymous]

Church are good places to meet, museums, art galleries, and concerts.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Are other temples just as good?

[Opinion Owner]

@HippieVeganJewslim temple also I should have stated religious gathering places.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

What’s the difference between that and temple? A temple is a house of worship, but some masājid are outside. A masjid doesn’t have to be a HOUSE of Islamic worship, but a PLACE of Islamic worship.

[Anonymous]

Common activities, grocery store, walking a dog , through friends and church

[AddylynnNightingale]

Any other place or activity that has people in it.

[Bethany22]

Library, park, a mall?

[bowenw]

Go walking or biking.

[Paulalove98]

I do unfortunately in my neighborhood and area there's too many elder couples or married couples tho lol.

[bowenw]

You may need to go to another neighborhood where there are more people your age. You may also meet people if you take an evening class in something that interests you.

[WhitneySnow]
