How do most people find their partners?

[Anonymous]

So being on the spectrum I have never understood how this works

Well I met my boyfriend in middle school but at that time we were just friends but as the years went on and we got a little older I started to develop feelings for him but I was always too scared to tell him because I thought that if I told him I liked him and he didn't like me back things would be weird between us and I kept my feelings for him a secret for 7 years but during the summer we were going into our first year of college he texted me one night and told he liked me and asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes and as of now we've been together for 2 years and 8 months

I found mine in college, everyone I'm close to either found theirs in college too, or on a dating app.

I've found them at school , I found them though sport , I found them at my Condo complex , I found them though clubs , parties , referral , business , trade shows , online ( plenty since 1998 ) , introduction and even with all that , I've wasted some opportunities , could be anywhere really.

Many ways some people use online dating and cold approaches to varying degrees of success. Many times people build connections as friends, friends of friends, work, school, hobbies, college, university, and the list goes on.

Ah, the journey to finding a partner—it's like unlocking a secret level in a video game! Most people stumble into love through some form of social interaction, whether it’s meeting through mutual friends, school, work, or even online dating. It's all about those serendipitous run-ins or a well-timed swipe right. Remember, each experience is as unique as a snowflake. Embrace your quirks, and let your authentic self shine. You never know who's waiting to fall head over heels for the fabulous person you are! 💫

in my case and experience...

half of them while I was at school... the other half at parties/reunions of friends to friends of mine...

My husband approached while I was grocery shopping. My boyfriend before him approached me while I was waiting for a train. You can meet people literally anywhere.

friends of the friends :D

or online :D

[BadApple69]

Online. For me this was the easiest way to meet dating partners. Not dating sites. But sites where people can chat with each other.

Highschool freshmen year is where/when most people meet the person they marry as adults.

I met my girlfriend at a fitness convention. We wanted to do a project together and now we're dating.
