text: where is the best place to meet people? i seem to be going out to bars and pubs every weekend but most people are there to get wasted or pick up 1 night stands. i don't really like the idea of singles events either. when i want to meet someone i usually meet them at parties... not alot of them are there to meet people to start dating but there are the odd ones... it also depends on what and who u are looking for... that part really does matter... or u could meet people threw ur friends i hope what i've told helps a little... good luck!! ; )
