Have you met anyone new lately?

I just started a new job a month ago, so I've met a whole bunch of new people. However, I'm excited b/c this Friday night one of them is having a "Girls Night Out" party at her house and I was the first invited. She actually asked me who /I/ wanted to invite. As if I know anyone here. She's wonderfully nice and I am happy to have some new friends.

Yes I have...I met him about 1 month ago..and I'm beginning to think he's boyfriend material.

It depends on your definition of "lately". What's the time-frame? Within the past month? For that I'd answer NO. Nothing that created a lasting friendship anyway. In the past year, most definitely. I met my wife just over a year ago and many of her friends have since become very good friends of mine.

The great thing about college is that you meet new people every day. I meet people all the time.

Yes. I met someone new this morning, as a matter of fact..

Yes. My daughter recently met her biological father for the first time, and in doing that, we both had the opportunity to meet his other children (my daughter's half-sister and brother). It was a most excellent experience for all of us and a very positive event in my daughter's life.

It's funny how when you hear that question, you automatically think:  opposite sex. But I'm not interested in that kind of interesting. I've met some interesting new people in my writer's group in the last few months--all women.

Yes, I changed departments at work recently, so I have met many new people.

One of the pleasures of doing contract programming is that I meet new people every time I start another project, which I did a few weeks ago. I've also met a few women who have recently moved to my area.

Ummm. . .I met one of my husband's old friends a couple weeks ago. Oh, and I met our friend's sister and brother-in-law after that. I might have met somebody since, but I can't think who.

Yes. At church on Sunday I made the acquaintance of a very interesting woman and her 14 year old daughter. We talked long after everyone else left the coffee hour. We exchanged phone numbers.

I've not met anyone of significance.

Jill, 61

I've made a new casual friend and met a couple of new professional colleagues. Because I work at a community center, I meet new folks everyday. Few however become intwined in my life.

I met Bruce McDonald and Noel S. Baker. Pretty cool. And I met a beautiful boy named Matt whom instantly I could imagine having a future with (if only his fiance didn't mind). That's basically it, but in a few months I'll be on the job and be 'meeting' a ton of new people every single day -- tourists flock to my small nothern tourist town.

No, i dont meet people.

New client/student at work, a couple of producers at the station (one new, one who predates me but was in Florida) and a few new regulars at the open mic.

I'm trying to decide whether or not this question is asking about my romantic life or my social life. I met a guy recently; his name is Dave.

I've actually met several new people recently. On a plane a few weeks ago, I met this model who was quite funny. I also attended a wedding where I only knew three people, so I was forced to make some new friends. It was a good thing.

Ryan, 28

Yes. Jane at work.

Janet, 44

I have. It's just such a shame that we didn't meet sooner. He's great.
