Well, it depends. At the moment, I think I don't know new people since March because of the pandemic.

I used to meet new people at parties or official meetings about twice a week.

I usually meet new people because I'm a baker also a computer engineering student, so I can meet new people at work or university.

I am new in the company so i meet new people everyday. But, I am not often talking with stranger. I like to talk with co-worker about work, and sometimes is sports.

Yes I do like meeting new people with similar interest

I often meet my close friend once a week,but now cause of Covid-19 there is no any chance to meet new people or do the other good things.Personally I am studying english and watch movie or series these days and have some workout sometimes...

I met my friend two months ago

I met my friend twice a week.

I met my classmates 2 months ago. I am a student, and there is covid 19, so I can't meet often new people.

It´s really difficult to meet new people right now, but still we can use different social networks and don´t forget we are alive.
