The first guy I ever dated I met in high school. After that, for several years every guy I ever dated, I met because they were friends of friends or they fixed me up with them, or I met them at work.
When I was 19 I got a job at a convenience store right across the street from where they were building a major mall and hotel. There were construction workers galore. Guys were there for months from out of town working too. They would come in the station when they got off work to get gas, beer and cigarettes and they would flirt. Every day from about 3:30 till 5 or 6, they were in and out in a steady stream. Most always had some cheesy line. I went out with a few of them. The station was located at the edge of the K-Mart parking lot and around the side of the K-Mart parking lot was where a good sized group of folks my age hung out and drank after K-Mart closed. They would come in and buy beer and wine coolers and cigarettes and shoot the sh*t with me and the other girl who worked there. Eventually, I got invited to hang out with them when I got off at 11 and I did. So, I started hanging out with that group of folks and became one of the members of the group. I went out with a few of the guys. Dated one for several months. Eventually, the guy who was to become my husband started working at the construction site and he came in to buy beer after his first day of work and thats when we met. We started dating and here we are.
So, you can meet people anywhere. Friends of friends, people at work, you hang out with them and then meet their friends, and so on and so on.
