Where do you think the best place to meet someone is? Where you are most likely to find someone you like? Where you are mostly likely to find someone to enjoy the rest of that night out with? (As long as your mates don't mind if you're out with them.)

Personally, I don't get going to a bar etc. and drinking, and then trying to find somebody to build a stable, lasting relationship with. How can anything built on booze-addled attraction last?

I think it's much better if you can meet somebody in your day-to-day life.

I couldn't agree more.

There are probably plenty of different places where you could potentially find someone nice that you click with, going to a bar/ club and getting plastered isn't one of them (in my opinion anyway).

Agree with the above thoughts - bars/clubs are fun and fine for a short-term relationship.

This question got me thinking back years and years - i cant recall EVER managing anything approaching a (semi) long term relationship with girls i have met in a pub/club.

The really good ones - where you look back and remember with fondness - have always been with girls who i have met, normally through friends or work, etc.

Nice topic - got me really thinking!!!!

I had a 3yr+ relationship with someone I met in a club. It ended eventually, but she's still someone I hold in very high regard.

College/uni was the ultimate in my experience, work is a bit different tho. In a big company there's lots of opportunity, but in a small company there can be no opportunities for romance at all.

Stuff that friends set up for me never worked out for some reason, I think I subconsciously felt under pressure to like the person I'd been set up with, because I'd have to 'report back'.

There was an underlying fear it would lead to double-dating, and the kind of relationship where you all go on holiday together as a foursome. That whole 'let's all do things as couples' is anathema to me.

Through friends or at house parties works best for me for longer relationships.
Pub is good for a snog and stuff.
