The 14 best places to meet interesting men

While a person’s future love (or “destiny” as some people prefer to call it) is not predictable, it can be a good idea to “play your part” and put a little extra effort into getting to know someone special.

Currently, many women comment that it is increasingly difficult to find an interesting man out there. However, on the other hand, several couples “found each other” and today maintain a happy relationship.

So, it is clear that you also have the chance to meet – at any time – a special guy, who will really mess with your feelings!

But instead of waiting for him to appear, simply “out of nowhere”, you can shake up your social life a little more, meeting new places and people, so that, perhaps, the distance that separates you from this special person becomes a little more “short”.

Below you can find a list of different places where it is quite possible that you will meet an interesting man in order to get involved, as well as accounts of people who started their love story in these places.

It’s worth visiting them! After all, if you don’t find “the love of your life”, at the very least, you’ll meet a lot of nice people and make new friends!

1. Bar

This may be one of the oldest ways to get to know someone, but it still works.

Men who are in a bar, like you, are probably out for fun, which also includes meeting people, making new friends and – why not? – find someone special!

“Many people think that the man and woman who are in a bar or club don’t want a serious commitment, they just want to party. But that’s not true. I’ve met interesting boys, with whom I stayed and even dated for a long time in bars”, says Júlia Menezes, 28 years old, physical therapist.

2. Supermarket

It is a somewhat unusual place, but it is certainly always full of people – and that includes people who are married, engaged, single and also those interested in meeting someone.

It may be that when choosing your favorite items for breakfast, for example, you find someone who is in doubt about a certain product and asks for their opinion. From there, a good friendship and even a future relationship can emerge!

3. Online

This does not mean that you necessarily need to register on a dating site to get to know someone. A new friendship and possible involvement can start, for example, on Facebook, Instagram and other social networks. The key, in these cases, is that you are open to making new friends!

But it’s also very important that you take care if you decide to meet someone in person that you’ve never met and only talked to on the internet. If you decide to arrange a date, remember to suggest a public place, one that has a lot of people and, preferably, take a friend with you.

4. Church

Interest in a person can begin, yes, in the Church. If you have the habit of going to mass, for example, every Sunday, you may have noticed a boy/man who is always there too.

A positive point is that you will already know, right away, that you share the same faith with him.

5. Work

Sometimes you still don’t realize it, but your work can be the ideal place to meet someone interesting! Always be attentive and don’t miss the opportunity to create new friendships with people who are close by daily.

Marcela Pereira, 27, a lawyer, says that it was when she was working at a bank that she met her current boyfriend. “We created friendships at work and one day we agreed to go out. It was really cool because there was no lack of conversation between us on our first out-of-work date. From there, we strengthened our friendship and started dating,” she says.

6. College or College

If you are going to college, be aware: this could be the ideal scenario for you to meet an interesting man! He doesn’t necessarily have to be on the same course as you. It is worth taking advantage of the break between classes to take a tour of the university and, who knows, start new friendships.

The same tip goes for girls: at school it is possible to meet many interesting boys, not only within the class, but also taking advantage of the break time.

“I started dating in high school with a friend from my class. We always got along really well. And many of my friends also started dating at this time, at school, and the relationships are lasting until today”, says Tássia Cristina Mendes, 20 years old, student.

7. Through friends

This is perhaps one of the most interesting and effective ways to get to know someone special!

By hanging out with your friends, accepting invitations to visit different places, etc., you will be open to new friendships and you may end up meeting an interesting man who catches your eye.

For this, always be nice to your friends’ acquaintances and colleagues and always be willing to expand your circle of friends.

Never turn down an invitation to go to a party because you think “you won’t meet anyone you know”. Know how to take advantage of the opportunities that appear through your friends!

“It was through mutual friends that I met my boyfriend. We started walking in the same class and got to know each other better and better. Initially, for my part, I had no interest in dating him, but with the friendship we created, I began to see that he was, in fact, a very special guy. I think the same thing happened on his part”, says Thaís Martins, 28 years old, secretary.

8. Gym

This is a good place to meet someone interesting. People from different neighborhoods, who go out to different places, etc., usually attend the same gym. and that, perhaps, you have never seen in another place in your city!

So, you can start to greet each other little by little inside the gym and, if all goes well, agree to go out to talk one day, far from there.

The main positive point is that you will know from the start that, in addition to being interesting, he is a man who cares about his health and likes to take care of himself, just like you.

9. At your favorite restaurant

It seems really cool to find someone who likes the same type of cuisine that you enjoy! So, when going to your favorite restaurant, always be aware: one fine day you may see an interesting guy having lunch/dinner alone at a table next to yours.

And it could also be that this is just one of the many likes you have in common!

10. Bookstore

If you are a book fan and frequent bookstores, you may be lucky enough to meet someone who shares this same passion. And, having the opportunity to talk to him, there will certainly not be a lack of subject between you!

11. Race group

Today, many men and women share the same passion: running. And, therefore, they meet frequently to practice the activity.

Meeting someone who has the same hobby as you and who also cares about taking care of themselves seems really interesting and has everything to work out!

12. Travel

Traveling is an act that allows you to discover new places and also a lot of different people – coming from the most varied cities, states and even countries.

The key in a trip is to always be open to new friendships, because, among them, you may find someone really interesting.

13. Exhibitions

Appreciating works of art is really fascinating. Even better if you have the opportunity to talk about them with a different man, who has caught your eye, at an exhibition.

14. Airplane

It sounds like “movie stuff”, but if you travel often, you might find an interesting man sitting right next to you on the plane one of these days. Surely you will have a few hours or good minutes to talk a little during the trip and, who knows, start a good friendship outside of there.

Despite these tips, the truth is that there is no way to predict your future! It may be that you meet the most special man in the world exactly when you are not “looking” for him, in a place that you had never stopped to think was frequented by interesting people… For example, at a bakery, walking the dog or at the mall from a neighboring town!

But one rule is very valid: regardless of where you expect to meet someone interesting, it is essential that you are open to making new friends. Because this will probably be the kickoff to a good relationship. And, if you don’t “roll the chemistry”, you will have, at the very least, expanded your circle of friends!
