How did you meet your wife/husband? any tips for me?

Question

I am a 25 old single woman and work in banking, in a new city (been here for half a year now), and well just wondering if any of you could provide tips to meeting people?

I don't have many friends in this new city that I can go out with, and I don't fancy the idea of going out alone, it being dangerous and many weirdos and all.. my hours at work can be long, so I have gotten into a routine of going to work and then going home each day.. I feel stuck and don't know what to do?

Answer 1

What city are you in?

-city gatherings (festivals, parades, etc)

-gyms

-beach

-through your job

-volunteer programs

-any place you know of where plenty of people will be

If you don't change your pattern of work and home, you will find yourself lonely very fast. You need to get out there!

Answer 2

Me & my husband worked together- thats how we met! Why don't you take a class art,cooking, gardening something that gets you out of the house so you can meet people! Or you could join an on-line singles group-I've heard a lot of people meeting on those sites!  

Answer 3

I was studying in New York and met my husband in a bible study group. I was 24 and doing my postgraduate studies then.

We've known each other for 21 years and been married for 17 years.

Answer 4

Join a gym!:) There is a lot of men there, hehe.  

Answer 5

I met my husband through a blind date. My husband's friend set us up. Before i met him though i also found it hard to meet the right guy. There is a thing called speed dating where you go to a restaurant and you have 5 min to chat with each guy before you move onto the next guy. They are safe as it's a neutral place and you not alone -they also screen the people that are coming. Go out with friends too.  

Answer 6

Most people meet their future husband or Wife while at work.  I've also heard that you find it when you're least expecting it.  

So try to get out more with the friends you do have and just be yourself (not the woman who desperately needs a Man), you'll make more friends and maybe one of these will be a future Husband??

If things are that bad join an online dating agency or go to a speed dating meeting, everybody there is in he same position as you and at  worst you could make more friends.

Good luck xx

Answer 7

Being new in the city means..you have to meet new people..start with your co-workers..build up friendship..go out with them..that's the only way that i could think of for you to start being around and get familiar with the city..and from there..who knows will meet someone special..just don't be too conscious to find someone..just enjoy your life with the people around you and having a self-confidence will show on you and people will notice that..and that's what attracts most of opposite species..:)
