Oh yes haha, it's true

Often, I meet new people in a month. I talk to people about their job, behaviour and other things. This is occurs because I like to meet new people. Still I am a university student so I meet new freshers.

I usually met new people once a month.I also met new people three days ago.They visited to my home.We talked about our jobs and problems.I like to meet them and my closed friends,too.l use to gather with my closed friends twice a week.But now we don't have a chance to meet because of Covid 19.

Lately, I've not been meeting new people because of the pandemic.

I meet new people once in a blue moon as I don't usually attend to a social gathering.

I usually meet new people when I go out with friend in some pub, there are always new people that you can know and also I meet new people when I travel and always when I work

I usually know new people around my neighborhood, but this year I can't meet new people.

Almost every week in the clubs or partys, or also in social medias, i love meet new people but is kinda difficult to me because i´m a little shy in the beggining.

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.
