Is that right Robin. Our gr daughters go clubbing pretty often-- they have plenty of boyfriends.

it certainly used to be a way to meet the opposite sex. I imagine that in UNI there are plenty of those!!


Then socialising must be wonderful surely. I actually met my husband at an evening class-- doing Scottish dancing. We loved it-- and it used to be a major part of our lives as the children were growing up.

Also what about sport-- where both sexes enjoy the same sport as yourself.

also the work place? School, college? Local pub or club etc.

No doubt also social networking must also be a place to get to meet someone with similar interests.
