The following is a list of 25 places to meet and and exciting people. They are in no particular order. I firmly believe that to find a lasting relationship, it is a really good idea to make a friend before a lover.
1)
The gym: You get seen by lots of people and get healthy at the same time.
2)
Take a class: Taking a class in something that interest you can be fun, and you will learn a lot. You will also be around people with similar interest, which is a major ice breaker.
3)
Museums: Going to museums can be fun, and you can meet a lot of cultured people there. I think meeting new people who get you to think outside the box or see the world in a different perspective is really cool.
4)
Sporting events: When you go to sporting events that peek your interests, even if you do not meet someone cool, you are at least guaranteed a night of fun, which is a lot better than sitting at home on your couch with nothing to do.
5)
Have a party: Having a party is a good way to meet people, especially if you tell each of your friends to invite someone that they think you might hit it off with. If you have really good friends, they should know what you are into and know what you like and have all that good stuff.
6)
Join a book club: Reading is fun all on its own, but when you join a club, sharing your thoughts and feelings is a good way to get to know people on a deeper level.
7)
Dog Parks: Going to dog parks is a good way to meet new people, especially if you go when it is less crowded. If someone takes good care of his or her pet, imagine what he or she can do for you. :)
8)
Travel: If you have the money, traveling is a great way to meet to new people, cultures, languages and just everything. It will teach you to be more appreciative of the things you have. You will see the world in a whole new light.
9)
Speed Dating: Speed dating is a good way to meet new people, and because of the limited time, it makes your time more valuable with the person, so you can kind of cut to the chase. The best part of it though is that if you do not like someone, there is no pressure.
What I got from this is that you can meet new people everywhere in a lot of different places, but to go for quality of quantity, I think it is a really good idea to meet people at places you like go. It is a space that both you and the other person will naturally feel comfortable in, and you will already have things to talk about and shared interests.
