winebrens21 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 HI all, I am a recent college graduate, and recently broke up with my boyfriend. I am looking for ways to meet new people. Where did ya'll meet your significant other? Since I am out of college now I feel like it will be extremely hard!
macmillerpwnz Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I met my wife on myspace when she was 15 and I was 18.. we are now 22 and 25 with a four yr old daughter and bout to have another baby.
Emilia Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 My husband is also my brother. We like keeping it in the family
baguette Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Just graduated college? Don't worry. Just do the things you love doing and you'll meet that special somebody. For what it's worth, I met my current gf in a club (I guess people do actually meet there).
Teal Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) We met on a forum, and found to our surprise that we play the same (unpopular) instruments, have the same outlook and lifestyle, and even the same upbringing to an extent. People meeting online isn't too uncommon, but living in different cities really isn't for everyone. Edited April 3, 2012 by Teal
gaius Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 My husband is also my brother. We like keeping it in the family They have a word for that you know. Sexy! We met through a friend, she was actually dropping something off. It developed from there.
Lauriebell82 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I met my husband at a fitness center when I was in grad school. We both love working out, which I love having in common with him.
KathyM Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 My sister's boyfriend arranged a blind date between me and one of his co-workers. Eighteen months later, we got married.
Beetleguise Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Came home one night and she was sit in my living room
xpaperxcutx Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I met my wife on myspace when she was 15 and I was 18.. we are now 22 and 25 with a four yr old daughter and bout to have another baby. I remember the MySpace days... I actually met my first bf on there. I recently met my guy on OKC he mesaged me first but I was hesitant about meeting him. We finall met three weeks later after I backburned him. He really impressed me and now we're together.
findthelight Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 On the beach. He accidentally (or so he says) spiked a volleyball at my head while I was sunbathing lol.
Ursa Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 I have met SO's through continued education (night classes and lectures in languages, music, etc.), through friends, at work and art events. I met one in a bar, and we were together for two years and are still friends today--I wouldn't try to paint that as the norm for relationships that start in bars it does happen. Once I moved a thousand miles and I put up a profile on OkCupid to meet people for friendship or romance, and a platonic friends only ad on Craigslist, to get to know people in my new city. I screened really heavily and talked to the people online or on the phone a lot before I met them in person, but I did end up meeting six people. Two were duds, one was just a temporary casual friendship, two I dated briefly but transitioned to friends with--and we are still friends, many years later--and one of them is now my husband. He and I met on OkCupid seven years ago, and we're very happily married. All together, I'd call that pretty successful. It can be harder to meet people after college, that's true. If you maintain an active lifestyle, however, you shouldn't really have a hard time. My college days are long behind me AND I work from my home office most of the time yet I still meet people in my chorus, at my gym, through volunteer work, through classes I still take occasionally, through my kids' schools and activities...
january2011 Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Another OKCupid meeting here. Other places: coffee shops, mutual friends, meetups.
