I wish there were more public spaces for interacting with people that weren't bars. I'm not a fan of meeting new people being associated with drinking alcohol.

- ardit33 8y agoTry a coffee place. If you do work/read in a coffee place, it is easy to interact with other folks that are doing the same. Basically: Say, hi... what are your reading, working on...etc... 99% of my interactions this way have been positive
- celim307 8y agoCoffee shops are indeed perfect. Low commitment, public, not weird to meet during the day, usually fun relaxed vibe. I do all my first meets there and its always well received.
- gjs278 8y agono, you agreed to meet the person there. he's talking about approaching strangers at a coffee shop. not the same and not even a good idea. leave the girl alone.
- izzydata 8y agoI wasn't looking for relationship advice. I'm saying I don't like how meeting people is associated with alcohol.
- elorant 8y agoIf you're comfortable with small talk you can interact with people even at super markets. Other than that, the best places for socializing in my experience are various classes where people learn a skill. Cooking lessons are the prime example.
