last weekend, i met new people, i invited them to dinner, the meeting was great, and they were very enjoyable,

Hi, i usually meet new people when i start a new activity. For esemple i have met new people on September when i have started an english language course. Or i have met new people when i attended the gym or when i attended my university.

I usually meet people when I see new. But I don't join parties.

I am a teacher and usually meet new students each semester. I will intend to relationships with new people from different nationalities.

Everyday I can know peoples differents on each place where I am, because I like to relation with the people if their want

I hardly ever meet new people because I don't like to hangout to the parties or pubs. I prefer to stay at home with my wife watching movies.

I sometimes meet new people on the street especially womem.

I often meet new people in my work because my work requires it .

I usually meet people in the party and social network to talk with them and make the relationship.
