|---|---|---|
| School | 70 | 27% |
| Public | 46 | 18% |
| N/A | 42 | 16% |
| Mutuals | 37 | 14% |
| App | 34 | 13% |

School won! It had more than twice as much as last place.
But it was pretty evenly spread, honestly.
I was surprised by how few votes App and Work had.
Among Public/Other, some specific answers given were:
- At the ATM
- Gym
- Climbing gym
- At a bar
- At a bar during a dating event
- Speed-dating
- Church (only 2 people said this!)
Someone who put app said “embarrassing, I know.”
Takwaways
You can meet a romantic partner anywhere.
School is the most common place to find one, probably because young people are eager to find love.
Work is last place, I’m guessing because dating in the workplace is just plain messy, and often forbidden.
Random places in public are not out of the question! If you see someone you think you might like, say hi to them!
Mutuals are a great way to meet someone. Try hanging out with tangent friend groups.
Dating apps seem to have a stigma, but should they?

What survey do you think I should do next week?
