Get a Hobby
Finding a new hobby or something you enjoy doing out of work and your normal social activities is a great way to meet new people. Whether it’s joining a gym or fitness class, taking a language class or enrolling on a cookery course, it is likely you will meet someone with similar interests, and if you don’t, you’ll have a new group of friends, who may also be able to introduce you to Mr. Right – bonus!

Volunteer in the Community
Volunteering is an amazing way to meet like-minded singles and do some good for your community. Putting in a couple of hours a week working with teenagers, the elderly or animals will get you out of the house and you’ll meet some new friends in the process. If you meet someone along the way who shares the same values as you, fantastic!

Get to Know Your Workmates
Typically, couples who meet at the office are more likely to end up marrying each other than any of the others. If you tend to keep yourself to yourself while at work, open up and get to know your colleagues, you might just find you’ve been working with your soul mate for two years! Start to eat lunch in the canteen, speak to those you have otherwise ignored before and invite yourself along to ‘after work drinks’.

Speed dating lets you focus on what's important to you, allowing you to avoid the hours of small talk and get to the point. If you haven’t tried it before, give it a go: you’ll be surprised!
