A lasting relationship will come about when you least expect it at the most random of places, so just be prepared!

I think this is one of the major reasons that workplace affairs have become so common.

Completely agree.  Where are we supposed to be meeting the man/woman of our dreams?  Isn't it considered strange to start up a conversation with someone outside a bus stop, or while picking up the dry cleaning?  I always thought that people like that look desperate, but now I'm not so sure. 

actually melindas if you had actually READ what I WROTE, you'd see that I wouldn't know, my friends are the ones that do it.

Try going to places and venues that you're actually interested in.  If you like sports, go to bowling alleys, ball parks, whatever.  If you're into music, try a local venue.  That way you'll at least enjoy your surroundings if you don't find a lady friend.Oh and online dating sites are actually a really easy way to meet people, if you're willing to admit there are some weirdos on there...sorry sportschickee, but there are!melindas-harsh, but true :)

you should know, sportschickee....

I've heard from some of my friends that meeting people online is the easiest and fastest way to meet singles.  There's no committment either, and it's really flexible with schedules.
