We’ve all heard people say go to where you like to be to find your mate but does that really work? In some cases, yes, but if it's not working for you here are a few more options for finding love:
Interest Groups
Everyone has something they love doing! Whether that be local concerts, conventions, retreats, workshops or expos, there is something that genuinely interests you to be present in that space at that moment.
Take advantage of the like-mindedness that you have and make yourself available and open to bumping into someone that may spark your interest (literally).
Career Events
There’s nothing like an ambitious man or woman. Add a nice suit to that and you’re golden.

The Airport
A place we all go to spend two to three hours to literally just sit and wait. If you love to travel, this is your prime location to look for love.
Everyone is literally in the middle of traveling so that automatically checks off that box.
Instead of having your head buried in your laptop or phone, pick your head up and take a look around. You never know who you may make eye contact with, sit next to, or stand behind--that may be your soulmate.
Cafés
More than likely, you’ve been to that certain café you like more than twice. Check to see who frequents the café around the same time as you.
Spark up a conversation about the very place you’re in and how you two always seem to end up there around the same time. You never know who’s around you!
Weddings
This one may be a bit typical to some but also taboo. If you’re related in any way to the groom or bride, proceed with caution. However, if you’re just a friend, the dating pool is wide open!

Work
Oh, the workplace. Should you, or shouldn’t you? The honest truth is that you spend eight hours a day there, so it is sometimes inevitable.
However, don’t get me wrong, if you’re in a higher-up position or even close peers with a love interest it can get hazy if you’re both not clear on where each other stands.
You don’t want to make anyone feel intimidated or uncomfortable with your flirting or passes if they’re not interested. Make sure to keep it professional in the workplace period, but outside of work, make your intentions respectfully clear so they have the choice to either pursue it or decline it.
